The 500-mile Mercedes CLA, discounts on Mini's, stealthy British startups and Formula E's Sam Bird

This week on Everything EV, Richard checks in from sunny LA en route to the EV Charging Infrastructure Expo in Las Vegas – where he’s swapping his Model Y for a Cybertruck test drive. Meanwhile, Matt and George unpack a busy news week in the world of electric vehicles.

The episode covers:

– Mercedes’ new CLA with a game-changing 492-mile range

– BYD’s megawatt charging breakthrough – 250 miles of range in just 5 minutes

– Mini’s quiet but significant price drop across its EV range

– The under-the-radar British brand Perseus and its plans for a Porsche Macan rival

– Why Mazda is (finally) getting serious about EVs

– And how Ford’s new electric Capri holds up against its Chinese rival, the BYD Seal U7

Plus, George speaks to Formula E veteran Sam Bird about how the series – and its tech – has evolved since 2014, what McLaren brings to the sport, and why he thinks Lando Norris could take the F1 title in 2025.
