    Our guests    

    • Dr Euan McTurk, electric vehicle battery engineer and host of YouTube show, Plug Life Television 
    • Charlotte Stamper, circular economy energy infrastructure specialist, Zero Waste Scotland  
    • Paul Codd, Cleantech investor, Co-Founder of Cheesecake Energy and CEO of Flexergy Ltd. 

    In this episode, we talk about the need to switch from petrol and diesel to electric
    vehicles as we enjoy the freedom to get around again without making the climate
    crisis worse.   

    Electric vehicle battery engineer Euan McTurk crunches the numbers in a
    bid to answer to a common question: Are electric cars really better for the
    planet than petrol or diesel? 

    Zero Waste Scotland’s circular economy energy infrastructure expert,
    Charlotte Stamper, shares our latest research highlighting the risk of creating
    more waste as demand for electric vehicles soars – and discusses innovative
    solutions to avoid that risk and create more sustainable jobs in the
    process.   

    Paul Codd explains how Cheesecake Energy, his tasty-sounding circular
    economy business, is pioneering an unlikely sounding way to make the switch to
    electric more sustainable.
