BBC Radio 4 - The Bottom Line, Rolling out electric vehicles

Evan Davis and guests explore how to roll out electric vehicles across the country.

As Nissan announces a factory in Sunderland to build electric cars, Evan Davis and guest discuss the EV roll-out.

Electric vehicles are a hot topic. Nissan has announced it will construct a factory to produce EVs, while the government says no new vehicles running on petrol or diesel will be sold after 2030. The electric transport sector will play a crucial role in tackling climate change. But are we on track to hit these targets? Can EVs deliver the same reliable service as combustion engine vehicles and reduce "range anxiety"? Does the rolling out of this transition have consumers convinced? Evan Davis and guests discuss.
