The Fully Charged Podcast

In this special episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, we’re coming to you live from the Giga Stage at Everything Electric Live London!

With electric vehicles and stationary energy storage now firmly in the mainstream, what's next for battery technology? Are solid-state batteries the answer to everything, or will we need a variety of chemistries tailored to different use cases?

Hosted by Dave Borlace of  @JustHaveaThink  , this fascinating panel brings together four brilliant minds in the world of battery research and innovation:

🔬 Euan McTurk – Consultant Battery Electrochemist, Plug Life Television

🧪 Dr. Nuria Tapia-Ruiz – Senior Lecturer in Chemistry, Imperial College London

⚙️ Aaron Wade – Gaussion

📈 Varnika Agarwal – Battery Research Analyst, Rho Motion

To explore emerging battery chemistries and their real-world potential, challenges in scaling new technologies and the evolving needs of EVs vs grid-scale storage.

Enjoy!  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Johan du Plessis, CEO and founder of Tepeo, to explore how his company is transforming zero-carbon home heating. Tepeo's Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB) is a smart, efficient, and affordable alternative to a heat pump, designed to seamlessly replace a traditional gas boiler without the need for costly home upgrades.

The technology itself makes perfect sense, but building a climate tech business—let alone scaling one—is anything but simple. Johan delves into the key challenges and what’s needed to accelerate the adoption of electric heating, from tax incentives for heat batteries to making electricity more affordable. He also highlights the crucial role of energy storage in balancing the grid and unlocking a truly sustainable energy system.

As the world moves toward full electrification, Johan shares his vision for the future of home heating and explains why innovation in this space is critical for a cleaner, greener planet.  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow

From pioneering the Nissan LEAF to shaping the future of electrification, Dr. Andy Palmer has seen it all. In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with the legendary automotive leader to discuss:

⚡The untold story of the Nissan LEAF – how it almost didn’t happen

⚡The two tribes inside Nissan: those who believed in EVs vs. those who didn’t

⚡How China’s long-term strategy gave it an unshakable lead in the EV race

⚡The UK’s missing industrial strategy & why political instability is stalling investment

⚡How cheaper electricity is the key to mainstream EV adoption

⚡The future of batteries – solid-state, LFP, and energy storage

Andy Palmer doesn’t hold back on why Nissan fell behind, how legacy automakers are lobbying against progress, and what the UK must do to remain competitive in the EV space.

How is the UK really performing on its net zero goals? Can the UK make electricity cheaper and fairer for all? In this episode of the Fully Charged Show podcast, Imogen sits down with Dr. James Richardson, Chief Economist at the Climate Change Committee, to break down the UK's progress, challenges, and the future of decarbonisation.

They discuss the seventh carbon budget, the phasing out of fossil fuels, and the role of electrification in transport, heating, and industry. Dr. Richardson shares insights into policy gaps, energy efficiency, and the true cost of electricity, explaining what must happen to make net zero a reality.
