The Leader podcast: Train Strikes and London’s Electric Vehicle Future

London’s Electric Vehicle Future

(Picture: PA Wire)

How can London transform to an all electric vehicle infrastructure?

Our City Hall editor, Ross Lydall tells us how the Evening Standard’s launched its Plug It In campaign to help Londoners better understand the electric vehicle landscape and drive forward the conversation on a policy level, and at global scale.

And we talk about the upcoming rail strikes and how Londoners can get around the city.

Also in this episode

  • Sadiq Khan on why electric vehicles “aren’t a silver bullet” but still vital for London’s environment
  • The costs of buying – and maintaining – an electric car
  • Why London has nearly a third of the entire UK’s electric vehicle charging points, but it’s still not enough
  • What’s happening with the rail and tube strikes next week
  • Can we expect more strikes in the summer months?
