Just to note, Bridie, that Greater Manchester had a clean air plan, set of policy levers and infrastructure, including a Cat-D charging zone, that was paused for a re-think during the Pandemic.  There are plans in place to change transport in Manchester significantly, and now a Metro Mayor with transport powers, it is moving.  But political will and social license is taking a long time.  It will be similar in Australia!

Introducing the elEVate podcast, a show that aims to lift you out of dependency on the infernal internal combustion engine and the drudgery of diesel and petrol, by entertaining and informing you with practical tips and the latest goings on with EVs in Australia and around the world. Hosted by Bridie Schmidt.
