The latest news from the world of EV

Good morning and welcome back to The Fast Charge, the electric motoring newsletter. My name is Tom Riley and I’ll be your host.

There’s been a lot of EV news during the last few days, notably that hybrids are proven to be the great pretenders and Volvo is going all electric.

As ever, if you enjoy The Fast Charge, please do share it. Likewise, do drop me an email at tomrileylondon@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
