We’re back after Easter (and far too much chocolate), and yes… we’re starting exactly where we left off. Nicola’s now-infamous rant about the Polestar 4 infotainment system returns for part two – complete with your brilliant reactions and a slightly more… calming reset guide. Public service, Electrifying style.

Elsewhere, it’s been a busy week behind the wheel. There’s a twin test fresh from the barn, Vicky’s been driving the Tiggo, and we’ve even squeezed in a first go in the new Jaguar GT.

In the news, EV sales are booming, and Octopus Energy is shaking things up by slashing on-street charging costs – in some cases making it cheaper than charging at home. Is this a turning point for EV drivers without driveways?

We also dive into your comments and questions, including first-time EV buyers, real-world efficiency wins, and one listener’s frustrating experience with the Citroën e-C4. Plus, we tackle everything from Renault feature updates to which EVs actually cope with Britain’s worst roads.

And finally… are modern car interiors getting a bit dull? You’ve got thoughts – and we’re here for them.

It’s a big one this week as we celebrate our 100th episode (no, not our 100th birthdays). Nicola, Ginny and Mike are back — with questionable WiFi, strong opinions and plenty of electric chat.

We kick things off with the Kia EV2’s headline-grabbing pricing, asking whether it’s a bargain or a bit of a shock. There’s also first-drive chat on the BMW iX3, plus a look at what Ginny’s been driving (and what she can’t talk about yet…).

In the news, we dive into steer-by-wire tech (is it the future or a step too far?) and react to Honda and Sony calling time on their EV partnership.

There’s also a 100th episode surprise, Easter chat, a tempting Capri lease deal, and loads of your questions, from real-world efficiency to whether public charging can stack up financially.

Thanks for sticking with us for 100 episodes, here’s to the next hundred! ⚡

This week’s Kilowatt Half Hour comes to you from a slightly chaotic (and very depleted!) Electrifying.com team, as Vicky and Tom hold the fort while everyone else is off driving secret cars, sipping cocktails or… impersonating David Attenborough.

There’s plenty to get into, though. We discuss the upcoming all-electric Renault Twingo and whether a sub-£20k EV can really deliver, plus Tom shares his early impressions of the astonishing Porsche Cayenne Electric Turbo. We also dive into the latest news, including plans for solar panels and heat pumps in new homes, and MG’s upcoming semi-solid-state batteries.

Elsewhere, we crunch the numbers on EV vs petrol running costs, revisit used bargains like the MG4, and tackle your questions — from Volvo EX30 battery issues to real-world efficiency and future Audi A2 rumours.

As ever, it’s a mix of insight, opinion and a bit of chaos from the world of electric cars.
