In this first episode of Garage Talk Unwrapped - The Podcast, Ben and Vicky take a practical, trade-focused look at electric vehicle (EV) charging in the UK. We unpack why some drivers — including us — haven’t yet switched, examine real-world EV charging costs and accessibility, and explain why the UK lags behind other European countries.
Guests and highlights:
- Matt Cleevely on why he moved into EV work, recorded at the Schaeffler REPXPERT Conference 2024.
- Matthew Teudor on his company EVDC and a peer-to-peer approach to charging that could disrupt the UK market.
- Andy Savva (The Garage Inspector) shared a frank view on whether garages should prioritise EVs today, recorded at the Schaeffler REPXPERT Conference 2024.
What you’ll learn:
- Real charging cost examples and how accessibility affects EV adoption in the UK.
- How major players are embracing EV maintenance and what that means for independent garages.
- Practical implications for technicians and business owners in the aftermarket.
