SBS Podcast - Lorna McAtear, National Grid

SBS Podcast - Lorna McAtear, National Grid

This International Women's Day, Quentin engages in a compelling conversation with Lorna McAtear, Head of Fleet at the UK's National Grid and Joint Chair of the Association of Fleet Professionals.

During their discussions, Lorna shares the benefits and challenges she has experienced in transitioning to an electric fleet, and gives an honest appraisal of how the 21,000 vehicles in National Grid's fleet have fared in relation to commonly held beliefs about EVs, such as battery efficiency and degradation, tyre wear and fire risk.

Quentin also takes the opportunity to quiz Lorna on the Grid itself; whether it will be able to cope with the growth in demand for EV charging, how it is being future proofed, and what is holding us back from decoupling gas and electricity pricing to reduce electricity costs for consumers.
