The Today Debate: Are we ready to ditch our cars?
Today presenter Mishal Husain is joined by a panel of guests to discuss whether our roads are ready to go clean and green?
The Today Debate is about taking a subject and pulling it apart with more time than we could ever have in the morning.
The government is currently sticking to its plan, supported by Labour, to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. Sales of hybrid cars will be stopped from 2035. This policy demanded by climate and clean air objectives is not just about drivers swapping to electric cars however, it is about us driving less or not at all in the future, less car ownership, less private vehicle traffic leading to better air and lower emissions.
Join Today presenter Mishal Husain for Today Debate where in front an audience in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Radio Theatre we ask a panel of guests whether we are ready to ditch our cars?
On the panel Dame Julia King, a member of the Committee on Climate Change; James May, co-host of The Grand Tour; Karl McCartney, Conservative MP for Lincoln and a member of the Transport Select Committee; Andy Palmer, former chief executive of Aston Martin, former chief operating officer of Nissan, and the current chairman of electric vehicle battery developer InoBat and Graeme Potts, CEO of Eden Motors.
