Ep 111: BMW i3 prices revealed, Best EVs for summer… and a superfast Zeekr

Welcome back to the Kilowatt Half Hour!

This week we’re celebrating our truly global community after asking where you’re listening from – and the response was incredible. From Tasmania to Türkiye, Canada to Chhattisgarh, South Africa to Spain, thank you for tuning in and making the Kilowatt Half Hour part of your week.

Joining Ginny this episode are Mike and Vicky, and there’s plenty to get through. We kick off with the latest cars we’ve been driving, including the all-new Zeekr 7GT, Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, Polestar 2 and Mitsubishi Outlander.

In the news, BMW opens early orders for the next i3, Dacia confuses everyone with a teaser for a new Spring, and we discuss our pick of the best EVs for summer.

There’s also the latest from the Electrifying video team, including first drives of the Renault 4 Plein Sud, Mercedes VLE and the highly anticipated Zeekr 7GT.

In Barnard’s Bargains, we ask whether the Alpine A290 is really worth the premium over the Renault 5, and uncover a nearly-new bargain that’s already shed almost £10,000 from its list price.

As always, thanks for listening, thanks for commenting, and thanks for being part of the Electrifying community.
