WATT REPORT: EV pet peeves, tariffs, and the DeLorean DMC-12 goes electric

Plenty of EV news in this episode of carsales’ award-winning electric car podcast

Are EV drivers too lazy to share public chargers? In this episode's news roundup, Rusty and Nadine dive into the hot topic of EV etiquette after a controversial photo sparked debate. Plus, what’s going on with the EU and US import tariffs on Chinese EVs, and why you should check your Uber account if you've recently taken a trip in an Uber Electric.

Later, Senior Editor Feann Torr returns with the latest car market updates. He reviews the sleek MG Cyberster, the innovative Polestar 4, and an epic DeLorean EV conversion that’s straight out of the future. Then, our Meet an EV-er segment introduces Greg Hubbard, an IONIQ driver whose first EV was unexpectedly written off. Greg, who moonlights as a volunteer firefighter, shares some fascinating insight into battery safety in light of the accident that had him in hospital and on the hunt for a second second-hand IONIQ.
