Are These the Most Important 3 Months in Electric Car History?

The next three months could be some of the most important in the history of the electric car.

In this episode of the Wolfe Power Club Podcast, Alex Wolfe looks at the latest EV market figures and asks whether electric car sales are really ready to move to the next level. With cars like the new BMW iX3 offering close to 500 miles of range, has the industry finally solved one of the biggest arguments against EVs?

Alex also looks at charging infrastructure, the UK’s EV mandate, energy prices, the cost of motoring and the reasons consumers are still choosing petrol and diesel cars. With the government targeting 52% electric new-car sales by 2028, the next few months could tell us a lot about whether that target is realistic.
