In this episode of EV Musings, Gary discusses the common mistakes new electric vehicle owners make when charging their vehicles for the first time. Using a real-life example, Gary highlights the importance of proper preparation, including using apps like Zapmap, filtering for reliable charge point operators, and understanding the charging process. The episode aims to educate new EV owners on how to avoid pitfalls and ensure a smooth first charging experience.

What are the key things you need to bear in mind before you set out to do our very first public charge

We'll look at apps you need (or don't need), identifying the chargers you should be looking for using Zapmap filters, and how you identify those chargers that are either bust or not working.

In this episode of EV Musings, Gary delves into the topic of electric vehicle (EV) tyres, addressing common myths and facts surrounding their efficiency, wear, and particulate emissions. The discussion covers the role of tyres in vehicle efficiency, the impact of driving style on tyre wear, and the misconception that EVs produce more tyre particulates due to their weight. The episode also introduces innovative solutions like the Tyre Collective's device for capturing tyre particulates and explores the broader implications of tyre and brake dust on environmental pollution.

You'll have heard the stories going around social media about the impact that heavier EVs are having on tyre wear - they're wearing out quicker and pushing particulate matter into the air.

Well, as with most social media stories the truth is a little less dramatic. This week we look at tyre wear in EVs.

In Episode 213 Gary covers a topic of great importance to the majority of current EV drivers: finding and installing a home charger.

Why do you need one? What should you look out for and how much will it cost?

We speak with reps from a couple of the top charger manufacturers.

This is episode 119 of EV Musings, a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.

On the show today we'll be looking at an important topic that gets little coverage: Charger safety. Nobody really wants to have to charge in the far corner of a dark, scary, car park at night. So why are so many chargers placed there? 

We talk with Kate Tyrell from ChargeSafe about what she's doing about this.

In Episode 209 Gary chats with a number of people who live without home charging.

It's, obviously, easier if you can charge where you live. But that doesn't mean that not having a home charger makes EV ownership untenable.

We talk to people who find it easy, difficult, complex, good value, or expensive.

Is it expensive? How much is AC/ destination charging vs how much is rapid/ ultra rapid charging? Is it easier with a Tesla?

The EV Musings Podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the go-to app for EV drivers, helping you find and pay for public charging with confidence.
