Ep 113: Ferrari's hit, bargain Fiskers and Dacia's £12k shock

This week on the Kilowatt Half Hour, the team dives into the biggest stories from the world of electric cars. We discuss the Ferrari Luce’s surprise sell-out success in China, reveal why Britain’s cheapest EV has just become even more affordable, and ask whether now is the perfect time to snap up a bargain Fisker Ocean.

There’s also a look at the best seven-seat electric cars on sale today, plus what we’ve been driving – including the Renault 4, Mazda 6e and a rather different take on electric transport.

As always, we answer your questions, from choosing the best used EV for £20,000 to why manufacturers give UK models different specifications. We also celebrate a new pair of “EV Virgins”, share an incredible AI vision of a retro-inspired electric Ford Fiesta from a listener, reveal Mike’s latest bargain lease and used car picks, and read through your comments on manual gearboxes, Ford’s future, car apps and just how many EVs you’ve owned over the years.

If you’re thinking about buying an EV, already own one, or simply love keeping up with the latest electric car news, this is the podcast for you.
