Hello and welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged Podcast where today we're talking with

0:15.4

Dr. Gavin Wine who is the co-founder and CEO of an absolutely extraordinary battery company

0:20.4

based here in the UK called About energy. But before we get into that

0:24.1

conversation I need to tell you a couple of things very very quickly. First of all my

0:29.0

name is Imogen Bogle. I'm one of the producers and presenters here on the

0:32.2

fully charged show and Everything Electric show.

0:34.4

And of course, obviously I'm extremely biased, but I highly recommend that you go and check out both of those channels once you've listened to this podcast.
