Ep 126: Slippers, kippers and electric hot hatches

The Kilowatt Half Hour is back, and this week there’s a lot to get through — from electric hot hatches and Renault’s latest updates to the increasingly fierce battle for ultra-fast EV charging.

Vicky, Nicola and Tom discuss the new Renault Megane E-Tech, which gets more range, faster charging and qualifies for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant. We also look at Geely and BYD’s charging arms race, with some frankly ridiculous charging speeds on the horizon.

We tackle your car-buying dilemmas too, including the tricky choice between the BMW iX3, Volvo EX60 and Smart #5 Brabus — plus the eternal question: should you buy a car with your head or your heart?

There’s also a mystery Renault Fuego concept to investigate, a new EV owner celebrating their EVV status, and plenty of your suggestions for retro Renaults, weird vans and the best uses for V2L.

And, of course, we read your comments — including some strong opinions on cash buyers, kippers, waffles, fidgeting, phone positioning and why the Kilowatt Half Hour is increasingly looking like the Kilowatt Hour.

All that, plus your questions, comments and the usual Electrifying.com chaos.
