149 - The Mechanical Engineer Episode

This is episode 149 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.

On the show today we'll be looking at Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt when it comes to Climate Change in discussion with a proper mechanical engineer, Tom Swaffield-Bray

Before we start I wanted to apologise for a small technical hitch in episode 147. The recording didn’t include the favourite part at the end that those who listen past the boilerplate credits look forward to. I apologise for that. The responsible person has been taken out and slapped hard with a pickled herring.

This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zap-Map, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.
