EP 112: Has Skoda Peaqed? Free Lollies and the Fiesta EV

This week on the Kilowatt Half Hour, the Electrifying.com team discuss Ford’s plans to bring back the iconic Fiesta as an electric car, Skoda’s all-new 7-seater (or has it “Peaqed”?) and the unusual lengths one Chinese brand is going to in order to tempt buyers – with free ice cream on offer for test drives.

There’s also a look at what we’ve been driving, including the Zeekr 7GT, Volkswagen ID. Buzz, Audi Q4 e-tron facelift, Polestar 2 and Skoda Peaq, plus Barnard’s Bargains with the best new and used EV deals.

In Almost an EV Virgin, we hear from a listener who’s swapped to a Changan Deepal S07 and wants to spread the word about one of China’s newest arrivals to the UK.

Our reader question tackles a luxury SUV dilemma: would we choose the upcoming Porsche Cayenne Electric or the Volvo EX60?

We also dive into your comments on learning to drive in a manual, the importance of EV smartphone apps, Audi’s electric future and Zeekr’s UK launch.
