A podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners. If you have an EV related question or issue, chances are I’ve got an episode that addresses that. Check out evmusings.com

Having tried this adulting thing for quite a few years I can’t say I’m that impressed with the whole ‘being a grown up’ thing. I think I’m done with it for now.
This is a great summary of the BYD flash charging reveal earlier this week. Keep an eye out for the dapper gent in the red sweater demonstrating the automatic doors on the Denza Z9 Also: play ‘spot the influencer’ and see how many you can identify.
Andrew Till • Mr EV@tillathenun.bsky.social · 2mo agoReady in 5 minutes, full in 9 minutes, add 3 minutes if it’s cold. I think I’ve just witnessed quite a historic event! BYD Flash Charging is here and it’s going to shake up the whole industry. Watch it happen. ⚡️ youtu.be/WhKP4nsIGOw
I don’t think I’ve ever been less interested in a World Cup tournament than this one.
Are we asking too much of government? Pretty much everything in the EV transition would go better with the right government policies in place. But is government doing enough joined-up thinking to make this all work? substack.com/@evmusings/n...
Are we asking too much of government?
Or why the EV transition shouldn’t have to rely on policy and regulation.

Episode 300 of the podcast is now out! It’s a round table where we discuss: - EV site signage - Are CPOs putting profit before customer experience? - Do we need more women selling EVs to women? - Should we pay less for charging if CPOs are using that as an opportunity to advertise to us?

The theoretical density of lithium-air batteries is 12,000 Wh/kg. That is roughly the same energy density as gasoline. Take a moment to ask yourself what having batteries that can hold has much energy per pound as gasoline would do to the EV revolution. 🤔
I met @tillathenun.bsky.social at a lonely windswept, almost deserted, car park in Sussex recently and we talked about tyres. Here’s the result!
Andrew Till • Mr EV@tillathenun.bsky.social · 2mo agoDo EV-specific tyres really make a difference? And do EVs get through tyres faster than ICE cars? I put Hankook iONs on my e-Niro and compare notes with @evmusings.bsky.social — plus watch a masterclass in tyre fitting from Guildford Tyre Co. A vid you won't tire of. (Sorry!) youtu.be/m9e6zAh5pyc

Catalytic convertors: Here's the rub - even when they work as designed they don't fully do what they should. All they do is take the really poisonous stuff and 'convert' it to be less poisonous stuff https://open.substack.com/pub/evmusings/p/are-fossil-fuel-vehicles-really-the

I was in Parliament this week for the launch of EVA England's "Putting The Driver First" paper. They've made a list of 'asks' of the government to make the EV transition easier. Anything missing? https://www.evaengland.org.uk/2026/06/03/ev-transition-will-fail-unless-it-works-for-every-driver/
Should Charge Point Operators 'own' the customer charging experience? I speak with Sam Clarke https://youtu.be/0OJfYnKr1t0?si=dgkCrLb9cbQeUxXK
In the spirit of balance I do need to posit that an alternate solution is to put all your charging eggs in one basket and watch that basket very closely. This is done by providing a really good offering to your customers with reliable chargers and good rates open.substack.com/pub/evmusing...
Should CPOs be ... more?
Or, why charging alone won’t cut it in the future.

If OEMs can make a market out of whole cloth with SUVs - oversized, overpriced, overweight versions of current models - they must be able to do the same with EVs. So why are many of them struggling? substack.com/@evmusings/n...

Friday. Another week in the history books. I did some filming, some writing, a day in Parliament, and a costume fitting for a secret project about which there are NDAs. Anybody do anything actually interesting?
So sad to hear about the death of ‘Buffy’ and ‘Ted Lasso’ star Anthony Head. I remember him first as the suave neighbour in the Nescafé Gold Blend advert in the late 1980s https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd0p0rz4n0mo

Even oil states know EVs are the future: UAE opens 60-stall DCFC hub
Middle Eastern petrostates aren’t known for betting against an ever-increasing demand for oil – but the UAE does have a reputation for being able to read the room. So, when a massive and highly visible DC fast-charging hub opens on a key UAE highway, it looks less like a pilot project and more like a clear signal that EVs are here to stay. more…

The official consultation on the eVED proposal is now live on the UK government web site. I would urge you to read it, find the flaws (of which there are many), and submit a response https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-the-introduction-of-electric-vehicle-excise-duty-eved
