MSP326. The Pink Past Of The Electric Car

A little over 100 years ago electric vehicles were everywhere. They outsold petrol machines, were faster, cleaner and more reliable. And then, in the space of a few years, they went away generations.

Rich and Matt look at this remarkable rise and fall and ask if the continued rise of the EV in the 21st Century EV is inevitable and unstoppable? Or if it could become a historical footnote? Again.

And how could the ideological battle over the engines in our cars shape the geopolitical and technological innovation centres of the future?
