Fun and Informative
I like shows like this that focus on the progress we’re making in transitioning to a cleaner, greener future. It’s refreshing and Robert’s English wit and anecdotes are charming and fun. His huge array of guests are often fascinating to listen to as they lay out the history, science, and goals of renewable energy. I know most people follow the Fully Charged youtube channel for their EV coverage, but I always preferred the bigger picture stuff like grid development or how renewables are overtaking fossil fuels. Thankfully this show focuses on the latter and in great detail. Highly recommended if you want to feel hopeful for the future while also learning something.

“Are” vs “is”
I love this show and the host. But i do have a minor rant about speakers referring to entities as “are” such as Nissan are, as if there are multiple corporate entities. The proper grammar is Nissan “is” a singular corporation. I apologize for the criticism but it drives me bonkers.

Fabulous podcast!
Fully Charged is my new favorite podcast! I love the host’s wonderful sense of humor and his extensive knowledge on the subject. I trust that I am getting the latest information on the EV industry from the host as well as from his great guests. I am more excited than ever about promoting EVs as well as this highly entertaining and informative podcast. I recommend this show to laypeople who are interested in the industry as well as to those who are already a part of it. Thank you so much!

Blowhard Americans talking nonsense
Will others catch Tesla? All the panelists forgot one of the most important things: Price In other words you don’t need to beat Tesla in terms of technology - you can do it on price. A smaller and cheaper battery is fine for many markets. So is a shorter range. Many people outside America don’t need a large car, 500 mile range, 0-60 in 2 nano seconds. They also don’t care about the efficiency of batteries or motor or charging network. They care about the price of the vehicle. For many people a Renault Zoe with 150 mile range is cheaper than Tesla and perfect for their needs. “I don’t live in Europe so I don’t care” - An American who has trouble distinguishing the difference between his toilet apparatus and the hinged part of his arm.

An Utterly Biased Review
Regular viewer of the Fully Charged YouTube channel, early fan of Red Dwarf, and unimaginably pleased that these two things are connected (look it up). Seriously, subscribe to this show, it is a perfect complement to the Fully Charged video series.

Biased and jumping on the EV bad wagon
Bit of a waste of time listening as it simply regurgitates news press releases; in no way tried to critique the information or see if any of the data or predictions are in any way realistic. Overall sensationalist... not everything EV is AMAZING!

They have not the right balance between....
Friendly/Chatty and news. They need to consider being just a little more scripted or at least a little more editing. YouTube channel is better so far .... just my opinion and I will keep them in my podcast feed for a while. Tightening the editing will help though!

Not like their YouTube videos
If you love their YouTube videos then you are likely going to be disappointed with their podcast. Way too much useless rambling and mindless banter with ever scant EV news tidbits occasionally mixed in. Sorry I had to say this. Wished it was better.

Too many rants
At first Robert’s rants were mildly amusing but after a while they became annoying, particularly the latest one about Toyota. He just won’t let it go. Granted, Toyota UK advertising might have gone too far with the “self-charging” Prius, but I would much prefer people driving hybrids than huge fuel-guzzling trucks and SUVs. In 2019, believe it or not, there are still many parts of the world where a full EV just does not work (yet).

Robert needs a break as host
I’m a big fan of the YouTube channel, the car reviews are great and very interesting. Unfortunately the podcast is just Robert ranting and swearing about politics. If Johnny is on the episode I really enjoy it. When it’s just Robert I turn it off when he starts swearing like a child. Your not going to win over EV critics by swearing at them. Just show them this clearly better technology that will make life better and save them money and they will come around.

Keeps getting better and better
I have been watching the Fully Charged channel on YouTube for many years, enjoying the great renewable energy news and content from Robert and more recently Jonny. Was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this podcast, strangely not promoted on YouTube, and have spent the last week listening to the first 6 episodes. Like the YouTube show, this podcast provides regular news and discussion about EVs and renewable energy technology from two hosts who make the subject very approachable and funny. If you are interested in EVs or renewable energy then this is the podcast for you.

All things electric - done crisp & precise
The fully charged episodes on YouTube has been a really strong driving force on electric and alternate energy education. It’s really awesome to see Jonny someone synonymous with automotive journalism join Robert. The duo’s reporting makes people like me living small spot in the city with their first real join trying to plan out the future while being almost as exciting as the grand tour or old top gear.
