SBS Podcast - Lorna McAtear, National Grid

This International Women's Day, Quentin engages in a compelling conversation with Lorna McAtear, Head of Fleet at the UK's National Grid and Joint Chair of the Association of Fleet Professionals.    During their discussions, Lorna shares the benefits and challenges she has experienced in transitioning to an electric fleet, and gives an honest appraisal of how the 21,000 vehicles in National Grid's fleet have fared in relation to commonly held beliefs about EVs, such as battery efficiency and degradation, tyre wear and fire risk.    Quentin also takes the opportunity to quiz Lorna on the Grid itself; whether it will be able to cope with the growth in demand for EV charging, how it is being future proofed, and what is holding us back from decoupling gas and electricity pricing to reduce electricity costs for consumers.     Find us on Youtube:   Fully Charged Show: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Everything Electric Show: https://www.youtube.com/@EverythingElectricShow   Podcast references:   Find out more about the great Grid Upgrade: https://www.nationalgrid.com/the-great-grid-upgrade      Support our StopBurningStuff campaign and help fight EV and clean energy misinformation: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff   Join us at the next Everything Electric expo for more myth-busting content: https://everythingelectric.show   Subscribe for episode alerts and the Stop Burning Stuff newsletter:  http://eepurl.com/iKxG9-/     Visit: https://fullycharged.show/blog/stop-burning-stuff-myth-busting/ Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/StopBSCampaign Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stop-burning-stuff   #stopburningstuff #podcast #everythingelectric #fullychargedpodcast #fullychargedshow   Tags: Stop Burning Stuff Podcast Fully Charged Show Podcast Stop Burning Stuff Stop BS Quentin Willson Robert Llewellyn Fully Charged Show Everything Electric LIVE
