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.
