    It’s teSSSLA with a S
    Good podcast and interesting insight. However incredibly annoying when host and other call the Tesla brand Tezzzzla… please stop saying it like that there is no Z. Got so annoying I stopped listening for this sole reason.

    Bridge the Political Divide - Critically Important Episode
    For what it’s worth, I have to say that I found the Bridge the Political Divide episode with Mike Murphy as most insightful, intelligent conversation since the episode with Hannah Ritchie. Mike has it absolutely correct. Listening carefully and working to apply what Mike and Hannah are offering as a path forward will accelerate the adoption of low carbon technologies while cooling off the culture wars.

    Great International Information!
    Living in the United States, it is nice to get a global perspective on the electric vehicle revolution. The fact that it is hosted by my favorite Kryton from Red Dwarf only sweetens the deal!

    In Search of the Ultimate “Famil-EV”
    Robert and Team … Great content, awesome guests, engaged hosts and lovely rants! Despite this, I have one bee in my bonnet—the lack of acknowledgement that not all families fit the 1.74 kids per household statistic. As one from the camp of 6+ families who try to ride share, easily maxing-out an 8-passenger people mover, I’d love to see some dedicated coverage to the electrification of transportation for the Ultimate “Famil-EV”—the 8-12 person carriage that soccer moms and van-conversion acolytes drool over. They exist in the EU (so the internet tells me) but are sorely lacking in North America. Having previously worked for an EV company (that rhymes with Vivian), I know the challenges are manifold BUT so were heaps of other problems the industry has solved in a few short years. I look forward to your next Fully-Charged episode with the latest in people-mover tech (that doesn’t require a bus-drivers license) for those of us who really cherish the comfort and safety of the kiddies and hate driving a two-EV convoy to go where we must if we want to remain as a family unit. All the best from SoCal…

    Very insightful
    Robert and his crew have really brought a light to all the unreasonable arguments against EVs, and efficiency in homes. I’ve been able to meet Robert and a few of the crew in the three Fully Charged Live shows in North America. Such a wonderful human, with a great mission.
  • WildcatABMoore116
    Enjoy and look forward to new episodes.
    This program helped educate me about EV’s, renewable energy, and steps that I can take to help make my carbon footprint much smaller. Very informational and entertaining.

    Superb Podcast on energy|electrification|sustainability
    Robert Llewellyn hosts in-depth interviews each week with some AMAZING guests. I think of this Fully Charged Live podcast (name change to The Everything Electric Show) as one of *the* staples in my knowledge and keeping up with all of the innovative technology, challenges and resistance meeting the electrification & mobility of this Earth. The interview format doesn’t spare the details and allows the listen to really get a sense of the full picture on whatever topic is being discussed. I also think there’s a healthy degree of self-reflection and evaluating on “are we looking at this issue from all available angles” or “what else have we seen in this sector or from other companies” which rounds out the quality of the content. :) Well done Robert & team, keep it up and always keep pushing to get more of the full story and what’s possible. Keep those ideas you help to surface coming, after all, they could be ones we look back on as a society decades from now and shake our heads at imagining what IF this hadn’t helped us advert climate disaster?!
  • Cm1701a
    Excellent show and a must listen for anyone concerned about practical solutions to climate crisis
    Show has humanity and humor - Robert and team truly care about messaging real world solutions ina way that’s accessible- and enjoyable.

    RANTS AND RAVES
    Rant on Robert with your funny but serious critique of the big boys of energy mucking it up for the rest of us! Thanks for comfortably introducing to those doing AT LEAST SOMETHING PLEASE about Global Warming!

    Stop burning things
    Great podcast (and associated YouTube channel) if you want to understand how we need to do the energy transition and the myths spread by organizations that want to protect their profits over the welfare of the world. I have been listening to the podcast since the first episode came out a few years ago and watching Full Charged Show on YouTube since around 2014 & donating money thru Patreon. Their slogan says it all… this energy transition requires us stop stop burning things!

    Good accurate information presented in a amusing way. Though I can’t understand the Scottish guy. Love this channel.
  • BuddyandMark
    Love the content
    The shows are always full of great content with very knowledgeable guests, keep up the great work guys and gals!
  • Trent68
    Fantastic show! Absolutely must listen podcast!!!
    Bobby Llewellyn flexes his comedic muscles to make an entertaining yet incredibly informative podcast that not only covers keeping us informed about electric vehicles but almost everything that helps us move away from a fossil fuel dominated energy industry. They cover a wide variety of topics and issues that affect everyone and can help us make better informed choices in reducing our carbon footprint. No matter where you stand on climate change or electrification, this podcast can help you learn how to make better informed decisions about how to save money and the Earth.

    Fun and Informative
    I like shows like this that focus on the progress we’re making in transitioning to a cleaner, greener future. It’s refreshing and Robert’s English wit and anecdotes are charming and fun. His huge array of guests are often fascinating to listen to as they lay out the history, science, and goals of renewable energy. I know most people follow the Fully Charged youtube channel for their EV coverage, but I always preferred the bigger picture stuff like grid development or how renewables are overtaking fossil fuels. Thankfully this show focuses on the latter and in great detail. Highly recommended if you want to feel hopeful for the future while also learning something.

    More Please
    Hello from Tucker, GA! I found your podcast this year and I am thoroughly enjoying learning about building green and everything sustainable. I hope you will continue to create more content! The world needs this information. This knowledge can empower us, help heal our planet, live in harmony with nature, and with each other in community. Thank you! All the best, Kristina

    Love it
    Feels like saving the world and interesting stuff
  • Dudeboy51
    “Are” vs “is”
    I love this show and the host. But i do have a minor rant about speakers referring to entities as “are” such as Nissan are, as if there are multiple corporate entities. The proper grammar is Nissan “is” a singular corporation. I apologize for the criticism but it drives me bonkers.
  • Ellen Currey-Wilson
    Fabulous podcast!
    Fully Charged is my new favorite podcast! I love the host’s wonderful sense of humor and his extensive knowledge on the subject. I trust that I am getting the latest information on the EV industry from the host as well as from his great guests. I am more excited than ever about promoting EVs as well as this highly entertaining and informative podcast. I recommend this show to laypeople who are interested in the industry as well as to those who are already a part of it. Thank you so much!

    An Utterly Biased Review
    Regular viewer of the Fully Charged YouTube channel, early fan of Red Dwarf, and unimaginably pleased that these two things are connected (look it up). Seriously, subscribe to this show, it is a perfect complement to the Fully Charged video series.
  • Eric 35453
    Amazing
    I’ve watched/listened to Fully Charged for some time now and dearly love all of the content and information. Kudos to you all and I truly look forward for a new year and can’t wait to see what’s next. Cheers from Alabama!
  • Milk Cheeseman
    Really Good Show!
    This is a fantastic podcast wading through the rapidly unfolding landscape of renewables and EVs. Passionate hosts entertainingly deliver great stories and commentary.
  • David John Oneal
    Love this show
    I do a video show on YouTube called That Electric Car Show and this podcast is an inspiration and the best place for Tesla nerds like me, thank you
  • G_0117
    Just Brilliant!
    Easily one of the best “electric energy” podcasts available. Always informative, and Robert’s and Jonny’s comedy is always wonderful.
  • Batfink2002
    Wonderful entertainment and informative
    Easily one of the most fun podcasts on renewables and EVs.
  • pat2007
    Excellent show
    Although I keep expecting kryton to talk about battery technology for android 😀
  • Steve in USA
    Great addition to vid show
    Way to go guys. Love the show and thanks for putting it out there.
  • Bob the Bob 1981
    Biased and jumping on the EV bad wagon
    Bit of a waste of time listening as it simply regurgitates news press releases; in no way tried to critique the information or see if any of the data or predictions are in any way realistic. Overall sensationalist... not everything EV is AMAZING!
  • Doomedron
    They have not the right balance between....
    Friendly/Chatty and news. They need to consider being just a little more scripted or at least a little more editing. YouTube channel is better so far .... just my opinion and I will keep them in my podcast feed for a while. Tightening the editing will help though!
  • abscomp
    Professional and Fun
    These guys are SO much fun to listen to. Funny and interesting, warm and engaging. their YouTube videos are great, but these podcasts are perfect for casual listening.
  • hammerhead16
    Not like their YouTube videos
    If you love their YouTube videos then you are likely going to be disappointed with their podcast. Way too much useless rambling and mindless banter with ever scant EV news tidbits occasionally mixed in. Sorry I had to say this. Wished it was better.
  • EDB Game Reveiws
    Ugh
    The youtube videos are well done but the podcasts are difficult to listen too. Rambling, rambling, rambling...
  • PluggedInDaily
    Too many rants
    At first Robert’s rants were mildly amusing but after a while they became annoying, particularly the latest one about Toyota. He just won’t let it go. Granted, Toyota UK advertising might have gone too far with the “self-charging” Prius, but I would much prefer people driving hybrids than huge fuel-guzzling trucks and SUVs. In 2019, believe it or not, there are still many parts of the world where a full EV just does not work (yet).
  • Carviperblue
    Robert needs a break as host
    I’m a big fan of the YouTube channel, the car reviews are great and very interesting. Unfortunately the podcast is just Robert ranting and swearing about politics. If Johnny is on the episode I really enjoy it. When it’s just Robert I turn it off when he starts swearing like a child. Your not going to win over EV critics by swearing at them. Just show them this clearly better technology that will make life better and save them money and they will come around.
  • Samsoir
    Keeps getting better and better
    I have been watching the Fully Charged channel on YouTube for many years, enjoying the great renewable energy news and content from Robert and more recently Jonny. Was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this podcast, strangely not promoted on YouTube, and have spent the last week listening to the first 6 episodes. Like the YouTube show, this podcast provides regular news and discussion about EVs and renewable energy technology from two hosts who make the subject very approachable and funny. If you are interested in EVs or renewable energy then this is the podcast for you.
  • Guruhat
    So far so Great
    What a great idea to do these podcasts. I am really enjoying them. Thanks so much guys! I am also subscribed to the YouTube show. Will
  • iBrock
    Almost better than their YouTube channel
    Great show! I always love listening. You can get the more serious side of things on YouTube and laugh with them on their podcast on your way to work. Nice work guys! 👍🏻
  • Solar Homer Simpson
    Love their idiotic banter and glimmer of brilliance
    The best balance of entertainment and information while dealing with one of mankind’s largest challenges, THEY ROCK!,,
  • Beatbox fable
    All things electric - done crisp & precise
    The fully charged episodes on YouTube has been a really strong driving force on electric and alternate energy education. It’s really awesome to see Jonny someone synonymous with automotive journalism join Robert. The duo’s reporting makes people like me living small spot in the city with their first real join trying to plan out the future while being almost as exciting as the grand tour or old top gear.
  • Back in the MSSR
    It’s the Top Gear You Always Wanted for EVs
    Was so excited to hear these guys launched a podcast! Brilliant review and coverage already on their YouTube channel (with equally great camera work) - excited to have weekly updates from Fully Charged now!
  • Kurt W R
    Literally jumping for joy.
    I’ve loved the YouTube show for many years and have enjoyed watching it evolve. Now I’m pleased to listen to the podcast and just now jumped for joy (while in the workplace) when I saw a new episode has been released.
