from the kitchen that's long way way this is know isn't it the same I've been doing video conferencing and video interviews all week I've done one two three four five six six fully charged interviews this week which will come out soon some of them some of them will be podcasts some of them will be episodes video episodes because they've there's some amazing footage we've got to go with them but yes we are doing some think we're all doing some serious screen time spend so long each day looking at looking at screen with my mates from all over the world we expect people in Australia New Zealand

I'm washing my hands like an obsessive narcissist hello from - hland hello Finland how are you Victoria bridge 1986 so while ago Croatia birthplace of Nikola Tesla you are absolutely correct in that statement Australia might really like your video chat about electric vehicles thank you because that's what this is not just electric vehicles although there is some and now I've got to start at 5:45 that's what said hungry card that's amazing thank you so much my god the jacks good yeah constructing raised beds boy it really helps when you're bit older yeah because I've just been bending down all day picking up things in the garden and can feel it hi hello to all patrons from the world in Cheshire very good greeting some Sonny world's yeah it's been sunny here even today we've had lot can show you actually that's why was doing some tweets about that just remembered can show you I'm not gonna haven't printed out any web pages and I'm not gonna hold up pieces of paper don't get stressed about that but okay that was that was last week but that is remarkable that is that is my solar generation in day look at that 13 as what is it the cars here 31.3 kilowatt hours in day in March in UK unbelievable because I've turned my phone off cuz dominate to ring so can't get all the data but there was some other thing yes yes yes wait know can't okay so can't do it cuz it's not got it's not real signal come on get to the news Portugal hello an India isn't that amazing it is amazing can just be amazed for moment gentleman of my age to be able to talk to little camera in his little studio in his little house and there's people from India watching mean that is amazing know the world is absolutely in agony at the moment with this the human race we're all suffering it's terrible and the impact on our lives is immeasurable and the ongoing knock-on effects of everything's going on is amazing but don't talk about that because that's the thing don't talk about the thing on this channel it's mainly meant to be good news but it is amazing Brazil my god Brazil I've never been to Brazil would love to go probably can't ever go now Melbourne Australia mate I've been there lot spent lot of time in Melbourne in fact the last time was there had lovely coffee and small think it was quest on in Mario's on fit in Fitzroy beautiful little cafe with my son who paid for my breakfast was marvellous when he was working there if it's bag of chips and if you get the news out Lobby South Africa hello South Africa excited about the pole star - yes seen it sat in it not driven it amazing amazing they know how to make cars those Falvo people Imperial Beach California my god Robert stop touching your face it's all haven't been anywhere I've been in my house all day in my house haven't been anywhere near anyone else or any products touched by anyone else in the last five years so you know know should will try not to touch my face and know you shouldn't and when I'm out and about you don't and make I'm making masks so might do fully-charged update I'm actually making masks for my face masks of my neighbors I'm just waiting for some more elastic I've run out of elastic which is annoying Salisbury UK okay think can start the news now because it's very nearly you know it's not it's nearly 5:45 touch that face can't there's too many messages Holland the Netherlands two minutes earlier is two minutes early sixty-six toilet rolls we have toilet rolls we're not sure - toilet rolls or rice or pasta but there's only two of us here so it's not we don't need that much so we're very good about that think you have something on your face do I'm having look it's not impossible because I've been out in the garden all day with brambles all over me think I'm all right it's just my face it's rubbish face and it's been bit battered keep I'm not saving the planet but I'm doing little bit with my track record and my job involves and had did certainly for many years involved an enormous amount of travel so don't have any legs to stand on am part of the problem the making tiny attempts to be part of the solution but where is the misspoke shoe in the bookcase it you can't see it because it's right behind me it's there that's that was actually my mother's made that for my mum kind of looks bit butch doesn't it but it was fit it's sort of walking shoe she was not butch woman my mom although she had temper on her can tell you that much if she if little kid is playing up there anyway does the pandemic speed up all these are very good questions does the pandemic speed up the adoption of EVs and renewable energy don't think it's kind of slowed it down that's what think in the long run I'd certainly the moment it stops there's no everything stopped but don't think it's going to slow down think people are realizing now particularly in cities you look out your window and city and it's quiet and the air is fresh and it doesn't stink of diesel and you're going this is better than my normal life and that is really show we're doing at the recording this weekend I'm trying to get that finished about trying to imagine that the world better after we've got over this horrendous pandemic you know how how about having that as an aim that we want to have better world that comes out of this rather than just go back immediately to flying everywhere going on cruises kind of feeling the cruise industry is probably not going to survive this mean who wants to go on giant cruise ship now think there's bit of booby prize anyway it is now 5:45 hello and welcome to the fully charged news show live news coming to you live from Studio One I'm scratching my ear shouldn't be touching my face from studio one in the lockdown United Kingdom on Friday the 3rd of April 2020 you're very welcome thank you for watching now this news episode is bit different because it will lead into newly released episode on fully charged normal regular fully charged feed which really want you to have look at and this episode is called who towed the electric car and now it's gonna it all make sense as soon as you watch it it's not big mystery but it features our very own Chelsea Sexton and this was filmed earlier this year long before any lockdowns who appeared in the - that Chelsea as some of you will know appeared in the 2006 documentary who killed the electric car and the reason we called it who towed the electric car as it features the ev1 the General Motors eveyone really the first production car that was ever made back in the 1990s and the Chelsea managed to find one in Topeka was gonna say - Pete no Tulsa Oklahoma in Oklahoma and she towed it from Oklahoma to Austin Texas with an electric I'll let you won't spoil it anymore but it really interesting and she knows the ev1 better than really anyone I'm around so she does brilliant explanation of it so that will start in approximate 347 57 13 minutes so I've got to do the news in 30 minutes but here's story that caught my eye and think gives clue this really does tell me something about what's going on in the world of in the world but particularly because it's now catching the attention of the you know traditional press the you know not just people who are interested in electric cars or cars in general or the energy industry just the general news the thing so this was an article that was in Forbes magazine and it was all about the connectivity the it was about the arrival of electric vehicles and kind of that has now been acknowledged that they are here they are real there are proper alternative the arrival of electric cars the connectivity that they're capable of and the rise in renewable generation the way these things are all linked together very very closely and the development of smart grids grids and the huge impact that this is going to have on the energy world that we live in and the way we produce and consume energy so the RIC the article in Forbes was actually titled electric vehicles the electric vehicles batteries could Worf the grids energy needs and what this means is that we can store enough energy in vehicle batteries around the world to run the entire world if it's not windy or it's not sunny or it's nighttime this is the the concept and this comes out of report that they are quoting by Irina Irina is the International Renewable Energy Agency which is about the rise in smart vehicle connectivity and grid connectivity and this is quote from Francesco Francesco Bush boss shel friend no it's not Francesco it's Francisco Bush el sorry Irina's team lead for renewable energy technology standards and markets and he said if we see this from not only transport perspective he's talking about electric cars if we see this from not only transport perspective but from power sector perspective it also means that massive electricity storage capacity would be available with all these batteries on wheels because that's what I've been saying for years an electric car is basically battery on wheels and it's really useful battery on wheels because you can charge it when electricity is cheap and you can use that electricity when electricity is expensive which will be showing as soon as we're allowed to film more stuff in my house cause have vehicle-to-grid charge system installed in this house BAM he then went on to say batteries in EVs will dwarf stationary battery capacity in 2050 this is indeed great opportunity for the power sector transformation so what irena are suggesting is that electric vehicles the global fleet of electric vehicles are expected to contain this is extraordinary 40 terawatt-hours of litter of battery storage by 2050 40 taro has now to put that in perspective although the most optimistic projection for grid storage batteries that are being installed now it's happening all over the world already will be 9 terawatt house which is couch 9 taro ours is enormous but all the cars now this is assuming some things but all the cars would have 40 terawatt-hours now 40 terawatt-hours is lot of electricity and now need to spend more time looking up how long you could run the world on 40 Terrell Osmond not that long but still it's phenomenal amount of electricity so if that's so if we go crazy and carry on installing grid level batteries went to see big installation of Tesla Power Packs in America in California I've been trying to go and see the really big one in South Australia and every time go to Australia which I'm not going to be doing for while it's just it's out in the desert it's quite long drive to get there you can do it in Tesla on one charge anyway just to explain this theory little bit more that the this quote from arena and and sorry arena if you're watching this I've got these names really badly wrong arena really arena and II see there we go I'll do it again this quote from arena and EC an officer in arenas now she's because think that's why it's confusing cuz that the organization is called arena and she's called arena please if you know her please don't send her link to this don't want to see this it's too embarrassing know if you are watching apologize the renewable energy innovation team that's where she's from vehicle-to-grid makes lot of sense this is really important point makes lot of sense that cars are parked for 90% of the time 90% of the time we're not using them they're just sitting there doing nothing like cars now internal combustion engine cars what are they doing especially now there's millions of cars around the world just left because we're not going anywhere night spent at the time the in if the battery's connected to the grid for such long time we can actually use the battery to offer some services back to the grid and help the grid increase flexibility and integrate higher share of renewable energy wind and solar in this case so it's not just me pontificating about the importance of vehicle to grid technology that's the main thing and how it could make cars more useful wouldn't it be great if our cars are we useful for hundred percent of the time rather than 10 percent think that probably you know that's probably good thing I'm trying not to look at all the comments because you're not going look I'm just gonna have to sort this out know there's been some comments about the fact that don't have am wearing trousers they're my gardening trousers they're not smart but I've got trousers on I'm not sitting here naked from the waist down 90 sorry I've just nudged the camera that is very very unprofessional mind you ladies and gentlemen as George as no I've got to have to remember his name Joe Orton said in the 1960s we're all naked under our clothes which of course we are anyway now another story now now wait minute is this think think I've covered that pretty well and what's the time this is great just think this is wonderful okay so I've had long and very very creative and positive relationship with Toyota think they make amazing cars had two different Priuses they were brilliant they were amazing one of them saved my life one of them when was in very serious accident in prison it definitely saved my life it wouldn't be here now if was in many other vehicles that are made brilliant car and then they've just done and also the Prius was revolutionary car it absolutely transformed the industry but then they've recently done as you know this absurd an offensive stupid short-sighted ignorant advertising campaign this self-charging hybrid garbage it's quite annoying and they've there's been lots of comments coming out of Toyota over the last say five 10 years about the battery cars aren't no they don't work there nobody wants them and and hydrogen is the future which we all really hope it is and and secondly to make very very impressive mirror hydrogen fuel cell car really beautiful car to drive driven it wonderful not lot of places to fill it yet you know but then get there eventually it's questionable whether hydrogen fuel cell in car is good idea certainly in trucks and buses and strapped you know big machines it's brilliant idea but that's but you know that was thing so they do make sure of course do make fully electric cars which they sell in China but they don't sell them anywhere else until think soon think they will change because Toyota and the Chinese company BYD when byd stands for build your dreams they may if you had mobile phone or cell phone 10-15 years ago it would've had BYD battery in it they made batteries for cell phones for years then they started making batteries battery the electric cars I've saw the early BYD cars at car show in probably eight nine years ago wasn't overwhelmingly impressed my goodness they've moved on they're really good cars very proved to be very solid very reliable and they make pretty much all the electric buses not quite because there's Proterra in America there's rival in the UK that are making buses although don't think meant to say that so I'm very sorry because have they haven't launched them yet they might be making but they could make buses they definitely could they wanted to they're making delivery vans at the moment loads of the brilliant we're doing show about it when we're allowed but so be why do you make it lots and lots of electric buses so all these extra buses in China probably close to hundred thousand of them in China now they're really making loads of them and they've got into partnership together Toyota and byd to make electric cars battery electric cars battery electric cars that you have to plug in they're not self charging new guys you know tio2 know from all their enormous research that people hate plugging cars in they hate it they want self charging car they hate because it's self charging guy you just get in it and you just drive mean okay occasionally have to drive via petrol slash gas slash filling station to stand in the cold and the dark in the wind and hold very very questionably not very clean pump handled nozzle thing particularly at the moment wouldnt want to hold one of those and you have to put it in the tank and stand there while toxic fumes get pumped into your tank in your self charging hybrid because that's what it is using it's petrol car it's petrol car Toyota anyway so that's what people prefer doing that rather than like plugging it in and car park or on street charger or outside their house because that takes it takes so long five seven seconds of utterly wasted time when you could drive out of your way to go to filling station to stand there for ten minutes and pay an enormous amount of money to use fuel in an incredibly efficient engine inefficient engine blew that rant by using the wrong word at the end but think you know what mean what's the time 5:58 two minutes to go so I'm written but the thing is am really pleased that Toyota are making they're going to be making electric was probably couple years before we see anything but at least they're doing it and so they're gonna be mass producing electric cars cuz they're really good at making cars that's the thing whether you like the styling or not don't not bother the actual cut there toyota praised incredibly reliable car that batteries lasted longer than the bloody cars there are tears or prayers taxis that have done million million miles absolutely shagged but you know they're just amazing so yes they are annoyingly well think we all agree they are knowing think they'll live to regret it so that is very nearly the end of this yeah very new because want you to then go to fully charged and watch this show also this show features car that arrived at Austin Texas that showed earlier this year the one that couldn't be at because was ill but pre the current thing and I'm better now or just very keep getting messages hope your I'm absolutely 100% recovered so I'm very well at the moment and very isolated and do wash my hands but what's happening now if you go to fully-charged dot show that's our webpage you can actually buy golden tickets for next year's show people already buying them because it is going to be amazing different location right in the middle of Austin beautiful location for footage charge live 2021 in April next year we're already selling can't believe people are buying tickets but they want to get in there because it was an amazing event this year and lovely community feeling people drove from all over the country in electric vehicles it was absolutely extraordinary had amazing things on display there the rivey ins were on display there the ev1 that you'll see in this in this show they're Porsche Taikan touched it like as was leaving just gave it stroke because it's very beautiful looking car but anyway that's all I'm gonna go now because want you to watch that but suppose could go on bit cuz you can watch that anytime you like but it is live now it's now 6 o'clock Shane California yes well thank you for great show very good you only left on bad terms won't mention him no he didn't leave on bad terms he left on very good terms we've seen each other earlier this year and we had long cuddle and nice chat johnny is an amazing man who wanted to go off and do his own and chisel as he would describe it and you know that's very sad but we next week we will be announcing two new or three new presenters that think you'll be impressed with one who knows all Laura Laura Laura things about cars and one who is just not scared of stuff will leave it at that he's amazing the cover was pre the lot many days pre the lockdown many weeks Richard Hammond no or Jeremy no it's not Jeremy or sila some burger or tiff China lovely edy hope we can do stuff with that it isn't ed just need big box to stand on when I'm talking about because he's so enormous ly tall yes we have also there's lot of things coming through now 19:01 is the Stig James May my god the people you're suggesting think they're all quite busy I've actually met this the original Stig he's lovely good bloke don't know the thing yet you don't know not thinking back for Henderson no cut Guy Martin wouldn't that be wonderful no Rachel you are so sharp you're wonderful will have to get going someone has guessed right but I'm not gonna say who yeah Boris Johnson Yeah right anyway that's it go and watch the other episodes really good you'll love it Chelsea in Americus because there's American highways it all looks different it's little England you've been wonderful thank you for watching this live sort of news and and will see you all again very soon there we go yeah please subscribe to fully judged please check the patreon link that's beneath this video actually and all the links to
