Matt puts the MGS6 EV through its paces this week — MG’s bold new electric SUV and a direct challenger to the Skoda Enyaq. He and George also take a look at some seriously muscular new EVs, including the Porsche Cayenne Electric, the 641bhp Jeep Recon, and the UK-bound Denza Z from BYD’s ultra-premium brand.

Balancing the madness, the pair explore the Nio Firefly, a far more sensible compact hatch that could be the next big rival to the Renault 5. There’s also news of another £1.3bn going into the Electric Car Grant — but is the money being spent in the right place?

In this week’s episode of the Everything EV Podcast, Matt is joined by Richard — standing in for George, who has swapped Skoda chat for a holiday (and, inevitably, a Skoda museum).

The pair dive into the latest EV news, including a major blow for London EV drivers, the return of Mitsubishi, Peugeot’s wild new concept car, and possibly the rebirth of TVR.

Matt and Richard also discuss the congestion charge shake-up, explore whether Mitsubishi’s comeback model will succeed, debate Peugeot’s radical Polygon concept, and look at what an electric TVR could become under new ownership. Plus, hear from Zap EV CEO David McIntyre on how the future of e-mobility may belong to scooters as much as cars.

In this special episode, George East sits down with Mark Andrews, journalist and author of Driving the Dragon, for a deep dive into the astonishing rise of the Chinese EV industry.

Having lived in China for nearly 20 years, Mark offers rare, on-the-ground insight into how brands such as BYD, Geely, NIO and XPeng went from small domestic start-ups to world-beating electric vehicle giants.

He explains the unique conditions that fuelled China’s EV boom, how manufacturers keep prices so low, the looming threat to European legacy carmakers — and the risks facing China’s own domestic brands as global competition intensifies.

A must-listen episode for anyone interested in the geopolitics, economics and technology shaping the future of electric mobility.

In this week’s episode of Everything EV, Matt and George pay tribute to motoring legend Quentin Willson, reflecting on his enormous impact as both a journalist and one of the UK’s earliest electric vehicle advocates.

Matt also gives his full verdict on the Kia EV4, while George shares his first impressions of the newly revealed Renault Twingo ahead of its 2026 debut.

The pair dig into reports of a possible pay-per-mile tax for EV drivers, explore the all-electric Toyota Hilux BEV, and discuss how the Citroën ë-C5 Aircross now delivers 421 miles of range for under £33,000 thanks to the UK’s new EV grant.
