| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the fully charged show podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | Now we've recently just held everything electric north in Harrogate which League just a delight to be involved with it was a delight to be involved with. |
| 0:18.1 | It was a really successful show and the first talk that we presented on the first day on the Friday was a really |
| 0:25.2 | uplifting I think an insightful conversation with Quentin Wilson. |
| 0:29.6 | Now Quentin is a long-time friend of the fully charged show and he knows a few things about the automotive |
| 0:36.1 | industry. |
| 0:37.1 | I think it's fair to say that. |
| 0:38.3 | So for those of you not familiar with Quentin, maybe overseas or whatever, I suspect many of you will have heard of a quite long-running |

| 1:50.4 | guide to that dispels 21 of the most embedded incorrect EV |
| 1:55.3 | misunderstandings and lays down the facts. Yes. So topics in the book include EV fires, pollution, electric car costs and range. |
| 2:07.0 | The book also examines the use of mining materials for EV batteries and the impact electric vehicles have on the UK grid. |
| 2:14.0 | So a lot of those questions that you might come up from your annoying uncle slash brother |
| 2:19.2 | slash sister slash mother slash any number of relatives or friends. It's written in conjunction. to of a automobile club, it's posh and proper. |
| 2:33.0 | It's supported by The Fully Charged Show and the Stop Burning Stuff |
