What would happen if everyone switched to electric vehicles tomorrow? What's the future of electric vehicles, and will they ever become more affordable for people? And how is battery design for these vehicles evolving?


Claire Miller from Octopus Electric Vehicles joined us to share her knowledge on electric vehicles from the perspective of an electricity provider. She tells us about the broader applications for electric vehicles, and how developments in this area are likely to affect our daily lives in the near future.


We also hear from James Kelloway at the National Grid, and Professor Volker Presser, Head Energy Materials.


Hosted by Dr. Alex Lathbridge.


Produced by Hiren Joshi and Elisabeth Ratcliffe.
