This week on the Everything EV Podcast, Matt is back after a short break and joins George to discuss a busy week of electric car news, including Kia’s latest family SUV, Volkswagen’s redemption story, BMW’s hugely anticipated new electric 3 Series, and Honda’s newest affordable EV.

Matt also shares his thoughts after a week with the Kia EV5, while George has been living with the Volkswagen ID.7and believes it may finally be the electric Passat buyers have been waiting for. Together they debate whether Kia has produced its first “average” EV, why Volkswagen has quietly transformed its ID range, and whether BMW’s new i3 could become the benchmark premium electric saloon.
