Ep 117: JLR and Ford gamble their future!

Range Rover has a new electric GT, Ford has teamed up with Geely in one of the biggest automotive stories of the year, and Mercedes has unveiled a family EV that has us reminiscing about the Blur vs Oasis rivalry. There's plenty to get stuck into in Episode 117 of the Kilowatt Half Hour.

Ginny Buckley, Mike Askew and Vicky Parrott discuss the latest electric car news, including the sleek new Range Rover GT, Ford's surprising partnership with Chinese giant Geely, and the wave of new Mercedes EVs heading our way.

There's also a look at what the Electrifying team has been driving, including the Mercedes C-Class Electric, Honda WN7, and Vicky's long-term Škoda Elroq. Plus, we pick out a bargain BYD Seal lease deal, suggest an overlooked used EV alternative to the Kia e-Niro, and answer your questions on EV servicing costs, Volkswagen ID. Buzz wheels, and when you can expect our Peugeot E-208 GTi review.

As always, we dive into your comments too, debating pay-per-mile road pricing, EV efficiency versus battery size, DS pricing, Volkswagen's future, and, naturally, Batch's ever-expanding trouser collection.
