In episode 22 of Ctrl Alt Refuel, we dive into the latest EV and PHEV news with our signature unfiltered takes. No corporate echo chamber chat here!
We roast (and eventually warm up to) the new BMW i3 – from its controversial "Clingon sword" steering wheel and weird rear camera to the elongated kidneys, massive range potential, and hopes for an estate version.
Is this the grown-up Neue Klasse EV that finally wins over sceptics?
Is this the grown-up Neue Klasse EV that finally wins over Paul???
Plus: Zeekr 009 – boxy outside, stunning inside
BYD Seal 6 DM-i Touring PHEV – efficient but feels a bit dated
Rolls-Royce Spectre and rumours of ditching EVs (we're sceptical and not a little hopeful they don't)
And the big one: BYD's insane megawatt charging rollout in China – 1000 kW+, 9 minutes to 97%, thousands of stations already, and plans for Europe
Casual chat, honest opinions, and plenty of laughs about EV design, range anxiety, and where the industry is heading in 2026.
