1. EV Info: The Climate Question

Billions of dollars are being invested in electric vehicles in the name of fighting climate change. World leaders are backing them as the green fix for our burgeoning road transport emissions.

But when you factor in the carbon emissions that come from manufacturing EVs, how well do they stack up against their petrol and diesel counterparts? If all the cars on the road switched to EVs, could we meet our climate targets? bWhat do you think?

2. EV The Best of: Top Gear

Now who would like one of these?

Audi is planning a range of performance e-trons that'll sit alongside its combustion-powered RS cars. Seismic news in the admittedly niche world of bonkers fast estate cars. Audi appears to be seriously considering an all-electric, full-fat RS6 e-tron.

3. EV Tip: Time Your Charge

You may not want to keep your car plugged into its charger whenever it’s in the garage. That's because most EV batteries will slowly self-discharge when they’ve finished charging. You may be able to recover a few extra miles of range by timing the charge so the battery pack is at full strength just before you hit the road.

This can also be advantageous to the battery’s long-term health, and if your electricity provider offers a lower rate for off-peak use, it can save you a few bucks in the process.
