BYD Seal Redeemed, Polestar 2 Bows Out & an All-EV Car of the Year
George went back to the updated BYD Seal 18 months on – and calls it 'bloody brilliant'. Richard asks whether the 443 bhp BYD Atto 3 Evo really needed all that power, and the pair dig into VW pausing the electric ID. Golf while eyeing XPeng's CEA platform. George says an emotional goodbye to the Polestar 2, his first EV, before the European Car of the Year shortlist goes all-electric for the first time in 63 years – and a wine bet is struck. Plus: used EV searches jump 50% as fuel prices bite, charging perks, the ZEV mandate limbo, Ricciardo turning down Formula E, the Gen 4 build-up and Fiat's roofless Topolino Dolce Vita.

VW ID. Tiguan revealed, Geely's 4-minute charge and Audi's 831 miles
Volkswagen's ID.4 is becoming the ID. Tiguan, Geely says it can charge an EV in four minutes, and an Audi A6 e-tron has driven 831 miles on a single charge. In this week's Everything EV, Matt Allan and George East go through the biggest electric car news, plus first drives of the Peugeot E-208 GTI and MG4 Urban.First up is the Volkswagen ID. Tiguan. VW has sold around 900,000 ID.4s, but the car has never quite won people over. The updated model now takes the name of a car that has sold 8.3 million. Matt and George look at why familiar badges matter, and how the ID. Tiguan fits alongside the ID. Polo and ID.3 Neo.Then it's the Chinese charging race. Geely has unveiled a 2.25MW system that takes a battery from 10 to 70% in four minutes, beating BYD's 1.5MW flash charging. The fastest-charging cars on sale in the UK manage around 400kW. Can the grid keep up, and does anyone need charging that fast?There's good news closer to home. New SMMT figures show 171 electric models on sale in the UK, double the number of three years ago, and the average EV now offers 300 miles of range. Add 46 EVs priced under £30,000, and the team reckon range anxiety is running out of road.Also this week: European Rally Champion Miko Marczyk drives an unmodified Audi A6 Sportback e-tron 831 miles on one charge, beating Lucid's 748-mile record. And the Tesla Roadster launch is postponed again, this time to 15 October.In this episode:Volkswagen ID.

Volvo's 30-car EV plan, VW ID.3 GTI and Saudi Arabia's 1,100bhp EV
Volvo is planning 30 new cars by the end of 2030, and electric estates and saloons could be back. In this week's Everything EV, Matt Allan and George go through Volvo's big strategy announcement.

Outgoing CEO Håkan Samuelsson has set out 30 new models across three regions: seven for Europe and the US on the SPA2 and SPA3 platforms, and six China-only cars built on Geely technology. He also admitted Volvo may have "leant a little bit too hard" into SUVs, and physical buttons are coming back. Matt and George share their electric Volvo wish list, including an EX70 Cross Country, and look at what new boss Klaus Zellmer brings from Skoda.Then there are the hot hatches. The Volkswagen ID.3 GTI replaces the GTX and promises to be the most powerful GTI yet. It's based on the ID.3 Neo and shares its 322bhp rear motor with the Cupra Born VZ. Can it fix the ID.3's reputation? Vauxhall is also teasing an Astra GSE for 2027, previewed by a GS Line car at the Paris Motor Show, to follow the Corsa and Mokka GSE. The team look at how it could compare with the ID.3 GTI, Born VZ and MG4 XPower, and what Stellantis might charge for it.Finally, Saudi Arabia is building electric cars. Its new brand Ceer is launching a saloon and an SUV with three-motor all-wheel drive, around 1,100bhp, falcon-inspired gullwing doors and a 48in screen. Five more models are promised by 2030.In this episode:Volvo's 30-car plan for 2030, and the return of electric estates, saloons and physical buttonsVolkswagen ID.3 GTI: a proper hot hatch or a rebadged GTX?Vauxhall Astra GSE confirmed for 2027, and why 2026 has been a great year for electric hot hatchesCeer, Saudi Arabia's 1,100bhp electric saloon and SUVNext week: George drives the Peugeot e-208 GTiNew: Plugged InOur new long-form podcast, Plugged In, is out now.

Andy Burnham, the ZEV Mandate and the Fiat 500e Price Cut
Polestar's UK boss has written to the new Prime Minister asking him not to water down the ZEV mandate, and he is one of very few people in the car industry saying it. Matt Allan and George East go through what Matt Galvin actually wants from Andy Burnham, and which of his asks stands any chance of happening.Also this week, the Fiat 500e has had £3,750 taken off its list price, making it the third cheapest electric car in Britain at £17,250, six years after launch. Matt and George ask whether that is enough when the Renault Twingo, VW ID.1 and Kia EV1 all arrive with newer engineering at similar money, and whether an Electric Car Grant on used cars would do more good than anything else currently on the table.There is new search data too. Money Supermarket figures put the BYD Seal ahead of the Tesla Model Y as the most searched for EV in the UK, on 916,000 Google searches against 897,000. Matt also gives his verdict on the updated Ford Explorer after driving it on British roads, including why the £58,000 all wheel drive car is the wrong one and the rear wheel drive Extended Range version is the one to buy.Plus the Smart #2 heading to Paris, the Lotus Emeya lap record nobody asked for, flying taxis, and the best EV road trips for summer.
