      <title>109 - Luxury with the Genesis G80 EV, plus we talk to PHEV owners</title>
      <description>Stephen and Trevor have been behind the wheel of the luxury Genesis G80 EV - a smooth drive and a smooth ride, with luxury trimmings you'd have to expect at this price.

      <title>100 - Annoying safety features in new Electric Cars, finding the balance</title>
      <description>Anyone who owns or has driven a new car lately might have come across the annoying beeps and bongs that happen when you get near the speed limit or look too long at the radio, or perhaps get close to the edge of your lane on the road.

These safety features are known as ADAS - but they are often annoying.  We catch up with Shawn Ticehurst from NRMA Insurance's Research Lab about what they are doing to research the feelings of drivers toward these systems.

Plus, we've driven the all-electric Kombi - the VW ID.Buzz, and Ben joins us to talk about his classic wagon as he considers an electric wagon.

      <title>086 - EV Batteries after life - a real solution</title>
      <description>This week we talk to an EV owner worried about range who went and got his battery tested, the result shocked him.

We catch up with a man behind a business bringing power to people without the need for Diesel, and it's quiet - using OLD ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES!  Amazing! 

And Queen Penelope is back with some more thoughts and a story of how EV envy sold a Mercedes Benz.

      <title>080 - Two Teslas, Two Nissan Leafs, and more from NRMA Insurance on the EV Market</title>
      <description>This week we talk to two callers, who've both owned two EVs.  

One loved his Tesla so much he bought another one - the story of the deposit on the first one will make you smile.

And another who doesn't like to spend too much on cars, bought a second hand Nissan Leaf, and the upgraded to a newer one down the track.

We catch up with Shawn Ticehurst from NRMA Insurance to talk battery recycling, servicing and EV sales.

All thanks to Uniden Smart Dashcam and NRMA Insurance</description>

      <title>068 - Vehicle to Grid Explained and the new EV Charging app!</title>
      <description>This week we're joined by Nicholas Wodzinski, Senior Product Manager of the EV team at Amber who discusses their trial of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology - we learn what it is, how it will work and what's going to hold back V2G uptake in Australia.

We also talk to a listener about idle battery drain - how long can you park your car without charging?

And a young Aussie developer has launched a new EV charging app that could change the game of finding chargers in real-time - download CHARGED on iPhone now!

      <title>047 - Would lower prices at different times change your EV Charging habits?</title>
      <description>Would you "donate" the power in your car to a disaster affected community? That's possible under a trail plan from MyCar to use EVs with Vehicle to Load capabilities to give power to people who need it most.
Plus we talk to Chargefox about their research into time-of-day charging and how it might affect charging habits.
And a caller who has gone from being a one-car one-motorbike household to owning two BYDs!
