Electric Cars: Are There Enough Chargers?

With more electric cars on our roads than ever, Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah investigate whether the UK has enough chargers to charge them and enough mechanics to fix them.

Almost one in five new cars sold in 2022 were electric. But is the public charging network keeping up with sales?

Deborah and Fliss talk to listener and EV driver Steve to hear his experience. They grill the boss of charging company Pod Point and meet Badar who is upskilling from a petrol and diesel mechanic to learning how to fix EVs. They chat to his trainer Andy about who's taking his course and whether enough people are learning how to fix and maintain electric cars.

Presented by Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah.

We love answering listener questions. Or maybe you've got an idea for something Deborah and Fliss should look into. If so email the team at greenmoney@bbc.co.uk or use the hashtag #GreenMoneyShow on Twitter.
