Episode 137: Liz Allan and Vicky Edmonds - How EVA England Champions the EV Driver Experience and Net Zero.

Liz Allan is joined by Vicky Edmonds, CEO of EVA England. Together, they explore the realities of supporting EV drivers, tackling misinformation, and driving forward the electric transition to achieve our net-zero goals. Vicky brings a wealth of experience from her years in government transport decarbonisation policy and now leads EVA England with a mission to ensure the EV driver’s voice is heard loud and clear. Liz and Vicky discuss the challenges of misinformation and confusing EV terminology, the need for clearer signage and inclusive infrastructure, and how EVA England advocates for improved accessibility, affordable charging solutions, and a thriving second-hand EV market.

Quote of the Episode:
"The driver doesn’t care particularly about the ZEV mandate. What they do care about is buying a car they’ve never driven before and don’t understand. Our role is to ensure the driver’s voice is heard loud and clear."
