It means an employee can drive a new car, complete with insurance, replacement tyres, MOTs, routine servicing and maintenance, as well as RAC breakdown cover – for a simple, fixed monthly amount. Because this amount is taken directly from gross salary via a salary sacrifice arrangement, there’s no need to set up a direct debit or pay a deposit. Plus, because the amount comes from gross salary before income tax and National Insurance, which, together with Tusker’s relationships with car manufacturers, can make it a uniquely cost-effective way to drive electric. Your employer does need to have a scheme in place for you to access, so if they don’t, simply ask your HR team to contact Tusker to find out more.

In this episode of EV Musings, Gary explores the commonly cited concern about making emergency long-distance journeys in electric vehicles . The discussion is prompted by a Tesla Model 3 owner considering switching to a hybrid due to fears of being unable to reach a loved one quickly in an emergency. Gary dissects this scenario, comparing EV and fossil fuel vehicle travel times, and highlights that delays are often due to traffic, roadworks, or other unpredictable events—not EV charging. He argues that the emergency journey concern is largely a red herring and that EVs are more than capable of handling such situations. He also suggests that public transport may be a faster and less stressful alternative in many cases.

In this episode Gary covers a topic of great concern to many new EV drivers: the range of their car. We've been sold EVs with phenomenal ranges by dealers, OEMs, and general advertising. But, in reality, these rarely materialise, with lower-than advertised ranges compounded by a further reduction in winter when the weather is cooler. We look at the WLTP range, what it means and how it's calculated; factors that affect your range; how to calculate what your actual range is; and why efficiency is more important than range This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap , the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.

In this episode of EV Musings, Gary explores the true cost of home EV charging, challenging the commonly held belief that charging at home is significantly cheaper than public charging. He discusses various electricity tariffs, including time-of-day and fixed-rate options, and explains how these rates are often subsidized and may not be sustainable long-term. Gary also introduces a method for calculating the real cost per kilowatt hour of home charging by factoring in household expenses, amortized charger costs, and standard electricity rates. He emphasises the importance of comparing like-for-like when evaluating home versus public charging costs and warns that current low tariffs may not last as EV adoption increases.

The EV Musings Podcast
In our end of season round table episode my three guests each discuss a topic of interest. The topics under discussion are: How the approach to rural EV infrastructure is changing The second hand market (how experiences may differ and ways to attract and better support new drivers that come in through this channel) Will increased range, new charging solutions, and familiarity with EVs lead to lower demand for en-route charging? If so how will this affect CPOs? And I will be asking the question: Charger booking. Do we need this? Guests: Gemma Robinson: Gemma Robinson is the EV Infrastructure Project Manager at the Highlands and Islands Regional Transport Partnership (HITRANS). She loves working with five partner Councils and Shetland on their charging network strategy and delivery across the region, particularly as the Scottish charging network is changing so dramatically. Her drive comes from providing a just/fair opportunity for everyone to safeguard the planet, with rural and accessible charging a particular passion. Current project details: https://hitrans.org.uk/projects/ev-infrastructure-shared-service/ Ed Walsh: Ed is Head of Product at Zapmap. His focus is ensuring Zapmap's app meets the needs of EV drivers and creates a sustainable business that continues to accelerate the shift to low carbon mobility. He also leads partnerships, exploring ways that Zapmap's capabilities can combine with those of others, such as Hive, to deliver value to an even wider EV audience Ben MacDonald: Ben has worked in various sustainability focussed roles throughout his career. He found himself somewhat disheartened attending a business and sustainability conference (read greenwashing conference) in Prague and so he decided that his efforts were best spent teaching Geography (sustainability) and Maths in schools in SE London. During this time he also worked with local communities on air quality issues. In 2016 he didn't buy a second hand Nissan Leaf because he couldn't charge from home. This began his entrepreneurial journey which led to him founding Nodum which is addressing the fundamental inequalities associated with the charging gap. https://www.nodum.co.uk This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap , the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.

This episode of EV Musings explores the concept of renting electric vehicles (EVs) instead of owning them. The discussion covers short-term rental services like Zimble, which offers hourly EV rentals with home delivery, and traditional rental companies like Europcar, which provide both short-term and long-term EV rental options. The episode highlights the benefits of EV rentals, including cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and the opportunity for potential EV buyers to experience driving an electric car before making a purchase. We'll look at the big rental companies AND the smaller, more bespoke rental companies Guest Details: Tom Middleditch - An experienced marketing and product development leader, Tom has been in the mobility sector for more than 15 years, and has worked for a number of brands in the leisure and business travel space. He joined Europcar in 2015, and today leads the B2B marketing activities. With a passion for greener motoring, in Summer 2023 he was appointed as Head of Electric Mobility. In particular, Tom’s focus has been on widening awareness of the role vehicle rental can play in helping businesses and individuals reduce their environmental impact – whether that be changing attitudes to vehicle ownership or driving electric. Dispelling the myths around electric motoring is a central objective of this activity. His contributions to the industry were recognised when he was named an EV Champion at the 2023 GreenFleet Awards.

In this episode of EV Musings, Gary explores the electric vehicle market in Australia. He is joined by Sarah Aubrey, an electrification advocate, to discuss the current state of EV adoption in the country. They touch on the impact of government policies, the growth of EV sales, and the challenges faced by the Australian market. The conversation highlights the recent shift in government incentives and the dominance of Tesla in the market. Guest Details : Sarah Aubrey is one of Australia’s most respected electrification advocates. She is a pure force of nature when it comes to sharing and simplifying the facts about accessible, clean energy and electric cars. A masterful storyteller and professionally trained voice-over actor, Sarah captures the heart of every message with ease and a touch of humour. It’s this down-to-earth approach that has drawn a legion of loyal followers from across the globe to her social media channels. It all started in 2022, after reading “The Big Switch” that she decided it was time to act. With a firm belief that all actions, no matter how big or small, can make a difference - she set about getting an energy rating for her home. “When our 115-year-old home got a dismal 2.9-Star energy rating from the Residential Efficiency Scorecard Assessor, it prompted us to begin our journey to full electrification and energy efficiency. Within a mere 2 months, our home underwent a remarkable transformation receiving a 10-Star energy efficiency rating.” Now, she channels her boundless energy for sustainability with a can-do attitude to help others realise their own star-rated dream. With an honest and trustworthy approach to environmentally friendly product and service reviews, she interacts and engages with a diverse, global audience to spread the clean energy message with practical advice. Sarah’s exceptional on-camera skills are a testament to her experience as a renowned voice-over actor. Professionally trained, Sarah graduated from Newcastle University and later the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).

The episode also highlights tools and services available for evaluating battery health, such as Avalu and ClearWatt, and emphasizes the importance of warranties and proper diagnostics when purchasing a used EV.
