Let's talk about the E in EVs. The electricity. Where's it going to come from?

Can wind and solar provide enough power to charge our batteries? Can it be reliable enough? Or will this end in a terrible irony - that we have to use *more* fossil fuels, simply to drive the cars which were meant to decarbonise motoring? 

In this episode we look at whether renewable energy can keep track with a mass transition to EVs. What happens if the whole plan (electric cars = clean transport) gets out of kilter? Would we be better off encouraging people to keep driving their old, small, ICEs? And does the whole project rely on flawed assumptions about behaviour change - like doing your laundry overnight?

Our special guest is Kathryn Porter, founder of Watt Logic, and one of Britain's leading energy analysts.
