Episode Description

In this episode, Gary explores the concept of 'nudges' and how they can be applied to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy.

He discusses examples from behavioral economics, such as rearranging food options to promote healthier choices, and applies these ideas to the EV market.

Gary also examines legislative nudges, like the UK's ZEV mandate, and the role of advertising and peer pressure in normalizing EVs. The episode concludes with practical suggestions for increasing EV uptake, including test drives and tax incentives.
