Electric Evolution Podcast

Electric Evolution celebrates two remarkable years of exploring sustainability and decarbonisation! Our host, Liz Allan, launched this podcast with a vision to learn and share knowledge about the green transition, inspired by her connection to climate science through her husband, Professor Richard Allan. After 117 episodes, we've welcomed extraordinary guests driving change across multiple sectors. From transformative transport solutions to sustainable heating, climate education, and green insurance, each conversation has deepened our understanding of the path forward. A highlight was hosting Robert Llewellyn, while Chris Ramsey and Julie Ramsey's Pole-to-Pole EV expedition story demonstrated conclusively that electric vehicles can conquer any challenge. These achievements must be shared widely, showing the UK and the world what's possible in sustainable transport. Liz's authentic Yorkshire charm and genuine curiosity have helped create engaging conversations with sustainability leaders. As we look ahead, we're excited to continue bringing you fascinating discussions about building a more sustainable future.

Following our two year anniversary last week, I'm over the moon to share that the Electric Evolution Podcast has reached 10,000 podcast downloads and over 182,000 YouTube views. Since the first recording in December 2022, this journey has become so much more than I initially imagined. These conversations have taken us across the entire spectrum of decarbonisation; from transport and heat to wide-ranging discussions about decarbonisation of transport and heat, sustainability solutions and climate change mitigation. Each discussion has opened new perspectives and possibilities for addressing our decarbonisation and climate challenges. What makes these milestones truly special is the remarkable people I've met along the way. Our guests have brought expertise, insight, and passion to every conversation, helping us all better understand the path toward a sustainable future.
