Elliot is driving a car… in the middle of a swimming pool. Welcome to BYD’s massive new testing facility in Zhengzhou! Four years ago, we toured a BYD factory that was making simple economy cars. Fast forward to today, and Elliot is back and ready to witness a transformation that is nothing short of “China Development Speed.” In this episode of **Everything Electric CARS** we explore what is essentially a theme park for electric vehicles. We test the limits of BYD’s latest technology, from the off-road beast Fang Cheng Bao 8 to the floating Yangwang U8. Plus, we hit the track in the 1,000+ HP Yangwang U9 supercar to see if it handles as well as it accelerates. We also get a rare glimpse inside the highly automated Zhengzhou factory to see exactly how these next-gen EVs are built. The difference between now and four years ago is mind-blowing. ## Timestamps **0:00** Intro: Driving a Floating Car **0:20** BYD: Then vs. Now (4-Year Update) **1:15** Welcome to the “EV Theme Park” in Zhengzhou **2:04** Off-Road Testing: Fang Cheng Bao 5 & 8 **3:08** Climbing the 27-Degree “Insane Slope” **3:56** The Seesaw Bridge Challenge **4:35** Guinness World Record Sand Slope **5:18** Floating in the Pool: The Yangwang U8 Water Test **5:56** Track Test: Unleashing the Yangwang U9 Supercar **8:16** From Budget Cars to Carbon Fiber Hypercars **9:08** Factory Tour: Stamping & Assembly Lines **10:37** Conclusion & Final Thoughts Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

## EV Sales Aren’t Collapsing – 2025 Wrapped & Our 2026 Predictions! Join Robert Llewellyn, Jack Scarlett, and Imogen Bhogal for a special year-end wrap-up as they take a mystery tour through the biggest moments of 2025, from unforgettable shoots, to the clean tech stories that really mattered, and share their bold predictions for what’s coming in 2026. They kick things off by debunking the myth that EV sales are collapsing, revealing that global battery-electric vehicle sales are actually up 19% year-on-year. From there, the trio dive into their personal “Magic Money Tree” dream garages, featuring the Polestar 5, Kia EV9, the gloriously childish Ioniq 6 N, and Jack’s verdict on the potentially game-changing BMW iX3. There are also behind-the-scenes stories from some of the year’s most memorable shoots — including the legendary solar safari in Namibia and the huge electric ferry project in Hobart. To wrap up, the team looks ahead to 2026, with predictions on a potential British automotive revival, the long-awaited arrival of truly affordable small EVs and whether Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is finally ready for the mainstream. Whether you’ve followed every episode or you’re dropping in for the first time, thank you for being a part of the journey and a very merry Christmas and peaceful New Year ## Timestamps **0:10** Introduction **1:46** Busting the “EV Sales Slowdown” Myth **7:06** The “Magic Money Tree” Garage **14:15** 2025 Shoot Highlights: Microlino & Electric Motorcycles **16:28** Jack’s Standout Cars of the Year: BMW iX3 & Kia PV5 **19:25** Robert’s Picks: Polestar 5 & The New Nissan Leaf **23:36** The Baked Bean Digression **25:14** Imogen’s Highlights: Solar Safari & Electric Farming **32:32** Robert’s Highlight: The Giant Electric Ferry **37:01** Live Show Reflections: Sydney & Melbourne **45:18** Jack’s 2026 Predictions: British Auto & Fun Small EVs **49:15** Robert’s 2026 Prediction: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) **53:11** The Economics of Clean Energy **57:50** Final Reflections & Outro Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

The UK invented the lithium-ion battery in Oxford, but we failed to commercialise it—handing the future of energy first to Sony and then allowing China to dominate the global supply chain. But is the race over? In this episode, we explore the incredible “David vs. Goliath” comeback, happening in British laboratories. We take you inside the labs at Breathe Battery Technologies and About:Energy to see how they are using physics-based modelling and “Digital Twins” to squeeze 30% faster charging and double the lifespan of existing cells. Plus, we look at the next-generation chemistries—Solid State and Sodium-Ion—that could finally break our reliance on Lithium and secure the UK’s energy future. Can the UK reclaim its crown as a battery superpower? Or is it too little, too late? ## Topics Covered: * The history of the Li-Ion battery (and how the UK lost it). * Why China controls 70%+ of the battery market. * The “Dry Coating” manufacturing revolution. * Inside London’s largest battery lab. * Sodium-Ion & Solid State: The next big thing? * The Gigafactories rising in Sunderland, Somerset, and the Midlands. **Noteworthy Mentions:** The Faraday Institution UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) Nyobolt TaiSun Nadal Technologies Nexeon Ilika Faradion LiNa Energy Eleven Energy Allye Breathe Battery Technologies About:Energy Envision AESC Tata Agratas EVE Energy Volklec AMTE Power Ionetic Invinity Energy Systems Highview Power Zenobe Fellten Cornish Lithium British Lithium Altilium ## Timestamps **0:00** The original battery! **1:30** Ad break – come to our shows! **1:50** Generating IP in the UK **2:44** Battery Materials **3:30** Dry Coating Electrodes **4:50** Battery Cells **5:15** Battery modelling **6:33** Surely we know how batteries work?! **7:44** London’s largest Battery Lab **8:56** Benefits of a digital twin **10:35** McMurtry **11:17** The temperature challenge **13:10** Grid scale **14:07** Gigafactories **15:03** Mining, refining and recycling **15:55** A cautionary tale… Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

## Why Clean Energy Will Always Win (Eventually…) with Cleantechnica Is the clean energy revolution happening faster than we think? In this episode of the **Everything Electric PODCAST** , Robert Llewellyn sits down with Scott Cooney, co-founder of CleanTechnica, for a deep dive into the global shift towards a cleaner future. From his home in Hawaii, Scott shares unique insights on why the US lost its early lead in clean tech to China, and why he remains incredibly optimistic about the future. They discuss the mind-boggling scale of Chinese manufacturing, the “inevitability” of technological solutions like solid-state batteries, and why your next stove might have a battery inside it. Plus, we look at the incredible “human-centred” design of electric school buses that are solving more than just pollution, and why data centres might not be the energy disaster everyone fears. ## Timestamps **0:00** Intro: Hawaii, Sydney, and the CleanTechnica Connection **2:28** Why Hawaii is the Perfect Lab for Clean Energy (High Gas Prices) **4:29** The Shift: How Silicon Valley Started It, but China is Winning It **9:07** California’s Economic Boom: The 5th Largest Economy Run on Renewables **13:19** The UK’s Secret Success: How Offshore Wind Replaced Coal **15:55** The “No-Brainer” of Solid State Batteries & Tech Evolution **20:00** Robotaxis & Waymo: Why Autonomous Driving Feels “Inevitable” **28:39** The “Zoom” Electric School Bus: Solving Pollution & Bullying? **36:04** Data Centers & AI: Why Solar Will Solve the Energy Demand Crisis **40:40** The Future of Road Tax: How Do We Pay for Roads Without Gas Tax? **46:02** The BYD Explosion: From Unknown to 3rd Biggest Automaker **49:50** Smart Homes: Fridges and Stoves with Batteries?! **55:40** Electric Ships: Batteries are replacing massive diesel engines **58:30** The Electric Home Show: Bill McKibben & Earth Day in Hawaii Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

NEW! It’s a ‘life and death decade for automakers’, but keeping your finger on the PULSE of the industry has been almost impossible; until now. As part of a new weekly podcast, engineer, Imogen Bhogal & entrepreneur, Dan Caesar, pull back the curtain on the carmakers. Is 2026 the year that the ‘House of Cars’ collapses? Who’s on the up, who’s hitting the skids, and who’s going up in smoke? This week, Imogen and Dan discuss XPeng, Hyundai, Porsche and reflect on Rachel Reeves’ budget.

While rental scooters are legal on UK roads, privately owned ones like the Nought One remain restricted to private land only. In this episode, Jack meets with Ollie from Nought, a British e-scooter brand that’s not just making scooters, they’re actively lobbying the government to change outdated legislation. We discuss what safe scooter legalisation should look like, the essential safety features every scooter should have, and why micro-mobility is the perfect solution for short urban journeys. ## Timestamps **0:00** Breaking the Law on a Scooter **1:23** The Legal Limbo of Private E-Scooters **2:35** Lobbying the Government for Change **3:34** Gambling on Legalisation **4:20** Tour of the Naught One: Essential Safety Features **7:08** The Micro Mobility Roadmap **8:17** Enforcing Rider Behaviour **10:00** The Perception Problem **11:20** Are UK Cities Ready for Micro Mobility? **12:22** Final Thoughts: Why We’re Missing Out Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: _**www.everythingelectric.show**_ * * * Get your tickets for our live events NOW! * _**Everything Electric MELBOURNE – 14th, 15th & 16th of November 2025**_ * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 6th, 7th & 8th of March 2026**_ * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.

Beat the rich? We run the rule over the IONIQ 9, an almost Range Rover, that we contend could be too cheap?
