Ep 125: Gordini's Alive! and the Pixo paradox

The Kilowatt Half Hour is back with another packed episode of EV news, car-buying advice and, naturally, plenty of waffle.

This week, Ginny, Mike and Tom discuss another reborn Renault, Bentley’s eye-wateringly expensive new electric SUV and the tiny new Nissan Pixo – which may or may not get Nicola hot under the collar.

We also look at some surprisingly good news for high-mileage EVs, with new data suggesting electric cars are less likely to fail their MOT than petrol cars as the miles rack up.

Plus, we answer your car-buying questions: should you lease a new EV for a young driver rather than buy a cheap used car? What makes the perfect electric car for an over-70s driver? And why are some car dealers apparently more interested in finance customers than people paying cash?

There’s also this week’s EV Virgin, your suggestions for future used-car reviews, more debate about what actually counts as a Chinese car, and a return to the enduringly hilarious Deli Van saga.

All that, plus your comments, questions and plenty of the banter that makes the Kilowatt Half Hour considerably longer than half an hour.
