I love Robert from his Red Dwarf days, Scrap Heap Challenge, and then later Fully Charged. My 4 year old son got me into Maddie from her shows on CBeebies. What a lovely clash of worlds this was for me! And also really, really helpful, as to the realities of the switchover to an Electric Car. Something I hope I'm able to do in the near future. Thanks Fully Charged Team!

[@campbellrocksagain]

She is really good on cbeebies aswell

Are You kidding me!? This Robert is Robert Llewellyn indeed? The Kryten robot/humanoid? Is that even possible? :-O Well done!

You wanted a suggestion how about "Maddie goes second hand electric car shopping"

[@middler5212]

Absolutely! That’s what the masses will actually be doing!

[@garethchild]

Very good idea! Have my upvote.

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

I'd be interested to see that.

[@patpliley5535]

This is the same thing that I would like to see. With Robert you told him the kia was to much ( price and range ) We would like you to show how you ga about getting a used EV and what you showld look for and avoid.

[@garethchild]

Pat Pliley Absolutely! What have you learned, and how does that inform your decision when you replace the eNiro.

[@rgsparber1]

I’m an Electrical Engineer and critically listened to your entire series. Heard nothing wrong or misleading. Excellent presentation. Enjoyable too!

[@maddiemoate]

This means a lot. Thank you :-)

[@GoGreenAutos]

I'm so glad you left the AC rapid charging mistake in this series as I see many EV drivers making the same error.

[@beware_the_moose]

Totally. It's a shame chademo wasn't adopted, it was a lot less confusing!

[@garethchild]

I’ve been following Robert & Fully Charged since I was looking into buying my first EV six years ago - I bought a new 2014 Nissan Leaf 24kWh. It was his advocacy that persuaded me to take the plunge. Shortly after that I got a second Leaf for work. Between the two I’ve covered 170,000 miles by EV. I’ve *really* enjoyed Maddie’s series because, firstly, she’s not a cynical old fart like me, and secondly because she’s been so honest about it all. This is properly good content. Well done. When the ID3 hits the streets, give it to Maddie. Fill the car with her friends, give them a decent journey to cover (I don’t know - send them to try out the charge points in Dundee or something) and ask her: is this the Electric Car for the People?

[@RobertHamon]

It's like a burst of sunshine hearing her talk about her experience, love this series.

[@bringer666]

This was an excellent series. Keep up the good work, Robert, Maddie and everybody else involved.

yes, a great series that I have been able to share.

[@justin_time]

Wow, Maddie is such a phenomenal presenter! Every time I see her presenting in a video it really lightens my day - she is always so happy! So awesome! I hope to see her continue working with the Fully Charged Team! I'd love to see a follow-up on pursuing a solar installation on the new house, maybe with the money saved from downsizing in car? Or whenever she and her husband are ready. This was an awesome series! Thank you to everyone who helped create it!

[@maddiemoate]

Thanks for all ideas Justin. It's great to be part of the FC team!

[@vintagesupermarkets5210]

@maddie moate, any chance you will take the solar panels plunge and maybe do a series there too? I absolutely loved this series. EV is in my future after our Prius kicks the bucket in a few years time. Cheers from a fan in 🇨🇦!

[@TedByars]

Great series. My wife now drives a 2019 Niro EV. She drug her feet a bit before she bought into it completely. I drive a Bolt EV and let her use mine to drive to and from work for a few months. She’s is overjoyed that she never has to stop at a gas station for fuel. Education is an absolute necessity for ICE drivers. Thanks.

[@CantE8tCheese]

Ted Byars “dragged”

[@dwc1964]

"She drug her feet a bit before she bought into it completely." Pedantry aside, I know what you mean here - and isn't that always the way with anything new? People have this irrational emotional investment in the way things _are_ and resist any kind of change, even when you run through the math and show them in purely objective terms how this other way is simply _better._ And isn't even that new, or radical. And statistically _everyone_ who's done it the other way, regardless their politics or demographics or any other factor, loves it so much they would _never go back._ Which is why the people who are actually invested in keeping things going the old, objectively inferior way are so desperate to play up the general resistance to change. I'm not *just* talking about EVs vs internal combustion here...

[@RRBish]

dwc1964 AMEN!!!!

[@priestland1]

Just binged watched the six episodes. Brilliant, Maddie is one class act. This series should be shown on prime time TV, it was that good.

[@michaelfink64]

The last “Maddie Goes Electric”. 😢 I know quite a lot about EVs and own one, but this series has been oddly addictive. I love Maddie’s enthusiasm and smile. Can we please have “Maddie gets PV panels” and “Maddie gets a home battery”?

[@brad3k]

I've been driving electric since 2016. As an engineer, none of my friends believed me when I said that with home charging, I don't have any problems. (Of course he has no problems with it - he's an engineer). I showed my friends your series to help them understand what to expect going electric.And I have potential converts!!! Nicely done!

[@charlesholland-keen2222]

A superb introduction to electric cars with the all the relevant facts clearly explained. Maddie has an enthusiastic presentation style that made this series compulsive viewing. If you are thinking of buying an EV watch this series now.

[@richardburnett3757]

Maddie is adorable, engaging and bursting with energy. The perfect choice to show us the new way. 👍

[@kimonogryphon3770]

Have to admit Maddie is simply gorgeous, but also smart, charming, and has eat great personality that’s simply endearing. The thing I like the most is when she smiles really big, she scrunches her face as she grins. Please more videos of her... Gryphon

[@dwc1964]

Maddie is just so _charming_ and it's been fun to watch her journey. (Even if parts of it did feel like adverts for whichever company's PR person she was talking with.) I _know_ that this isn't the end of it. It's just the beginning. There will have to be periodic updates, milestones, reports of particular events, mishaps, surprises and what-not. I look forward to them all. I enjoy all the nerdy tech stuff and Robert's Rants(tm) and all the rest of it, but for purposes of getting someone who _isn't_ into all that stuff into an EV, this is the series I will be pointing them to.

[@jericoba]

I appreciated the series. Good introduction for anyone going electric. You’ll soon realize it’s not that different from handling and using a gasoline car and this series shows that. EV is the future! Enjoy your new way of transportation.

[@pushcreativity]

I've had an electric car for over 2 years and watched all 6 episodes of this, they've been great. I had the exact same problem as Maddie on my first long drive, the day after my lease car arrived, a Drive Electric car too. My very first Rapid charge was at Ferrybridge, in the middle charger with that very same Rapid, I was so chuffed how easy it was until I returned to my car to find only a few more miles were added. I also did lots of research before getting the car. I soon learned after that to use the CCS and I've loved driving ever since. Great series, thanks.

[@andrewseal2227]

Thanks Maddie - I've been driving electric nearly 4 years and your approach was very balanced , I've had no hesitation recommending the series. Thanks again.

I've been scrolling for ages and can't find a single negative comment. Very rare to see so much praise and a great, resounding applause for both Maddie and the team as well as reflecting well on the folks watching.

[@grahambennett7507]

Hi Maddie! I love watching your videos, I have had an electric car for 2 years now and its easily the best decision I have made, I have a 40 kW Nissan Leaf Tekna but the best bit is we also installed a Zappi charger with solar panels + electric storage so the cost of running the car is virtually nil. If anyone is thinking about going electric don't think about it do it because it is the future, all the big car manufactures are now getting involved and making new electric cars, and I can tell you they would not be doing that if they were not already convinced themselves that the future truly is electric. Live Long & Prosper, Graham

Thanks Maddie and the team. Great to see the electric car experience in the real world.

[@jfv65]

One point is hardly ever mentioned about EV's and that is that they are almost *silent* ! It's much less tiring for people inside the car, nice for people who like to play music while driving and great for people who use the handsfree phone while driving. It's also silent for people outside the car, think of people living in urban area close to a busy road. The more EV's, the less sound nuassance those people will have to endure from ICE vehicles.

[@reubenwilkinson845]

jfv65 that’s a good point, when I drive the wife’s Zoe I’m so calm and poodle around at 30 totally relaxed because it’s so quiet and calm. Then I get in my diesel van and the noise makes me drive it like I stole it

[@MrBenHaynes]

I've really enjoyed this series, especially as I live in Australia which is considerably reticent to embrace personal electric conveyances due to our vast distances travelled. Maddie is....... eminently cherishable!

[@RobertOw83]

I kind of didn't want this series to end. It's been absolutely outstanding and well put together content. So much so that I've been converted to make the switch (excuse the dad puns) - I was tempted prior to the series, but this series has actually convinced me to do it. Thank you.

[@TranceTrousers]

I ordered my very first electric car at the beginning of the month (a Skoda Citigo IEV) and I've been excited to get it (obviously - it's a new car!). Having discovered this series the other day and binge watched all six episodes I'm even more excited to be getting an electric car now! Maddie, it's been great watching your journey from being a total newbie (as I will be) to a seasoned EV user. You've answered all the questions I've had about, for example, home charging and travelling longer distances, in a highly entertaining and engaging way. What an excellent and thoroughly lovely presenter you are, thank you! P.S. When I first started watching this series you seemed familiar but I didn't know why. Then I realised that you were on CBeebies when my daughter used to watch it (she's 10 now).

[@Dave-in-France]

Hi Maddie, what an excellent, excellent introduction to EV adoption this series has been. Covers all the major points of car selection, home charging, journey planning and away charging and the pleasure of 'owning' and driving an EV. Very well done.

[@lukebonham8216]

BobH809 that’s a great point. Let’s hope that as early adopters sell there cars, good quality used versions allow wider use. Renault Zoe’s after 3 years are valued at around 40% of their original cost from memory? Anyone else have a view on this issue? It’s an important one.

[@cipher_ali]

I'd like to suggest this too, I'm more in the market for solar and battery storage at the moment... Electric car is still a few years away as my "gas guzzler" is still going strong for the time being. Great mini series, really enjoyed it!

[@tinaturner5186]

Arfan Ali I changed my car first. Financial no brainer. Less than £1,000 spent on “fuel” in 4 years, some 42,000 miles ago. The financial jury is still out on solar PV and the battery. I have all three now, one leading to the other. Solar PV and house battery take many years to pay back the capital investment. However, it is intuitively just the right thing to do to help tackle climate change effects by burning less. And with each technology, I just wonder how I ever managed before without them.

[@klaxoncow]

@@maddiemoate So, Maddie, are you getting solar yet? We're all waiting patiently for the new series. :D

[@markyates5744]

@@maddiemoate especially after the recent electricity price rises! Would be very topical. Most people have gone from roughly 13p/kWh to 22p+/kWh. But if you have an electric car you can be on Octopus and paying 5p/kWh at night. If you have solar + a house battery then you can get through Spring-Summer-Autumn days. In winter you can charge it off the grid at night and draw it down during the day. Either way you're avoiding the 22p/kWh peak time! Also, the extra solar can heat the immersion tank during the day / charge a car - so cutting back on gas usage too! My installer can now get 385w JA Solar panels for under £100 each! You now only need 11-12 panels to hit 4kW. Though I do recommend installing as many as will fit on your roof!

Maddie, When you do switch to a more affordable electric let us know, personally I'm rooting for the ZOE because it is overall a great car, love the interior and it has just the coolest name ZOE, what's not to like, saddly I live in the US where electric car selection is dysmal but ZOE would still be my first choice, until then my 2014 Leaf continues to impress years later, thanks for your series, truly useful information, see you again soon no doubt!

[@markcayer4859]

Hey Maddie!! Just finished your series here in Ottawa, Ontario Canada and it was great. While some of your show was obviously UK centric as to EV Car models available and your apps we have comparable stuff over here. It was "Deja Vu all over again" as I relived exactly some of my experiences of just 2 years ago when I joined the EV world. The only thing you missed was "Maddie suffers Range Anxiety" (car down to 10km range and beeping to remind you of same while you drive about in the dark with your 'locate a plug app' and rapidly beating heart) which I survived and vowed never to relive. My VW e-Golf is exactly the right car for me and as I always tell people who ask how I like my EV ... "I'm never going back to the ICE age". (as an EV owner you will now get the reference and joke) Thanks for doing this series and I'm going to share it with all of the EV curious folks I meet.

Hi Maddie and Robert, You both are doing an amazing job educating people about the wohole sustainable energy ecosystem. Thank you for this. It is nice to see relatively small 'media operations' like yours really beating up old media in covering this revolution. You are a large part of the reason i'm studying sustainable innovation at Eindhoven University. Calculus has been a bit challenging but i'm still convinced I made the right choice. Once again thank you for all the free, high quality content over the past few years and I look forward to your next video. My dream is to work on projects similar to yours: Educating people about sustainability and helping the world transition to a better future. I hope you can keep up your great work.

[@DarrenSpill]

I Bought an Kia E-Niro after watching this beginners guide. We love our EV so thank you Maddie and team. We have noticed an increase in the number of EV’s in the last few months. One of our frustrations has nothing to do with the e-Niro but with the charging network. We had to go to three different charging stations this week to get a single charge. The first was a New BP Pulse where both chargers where out of Action the next was a Shell Recharge Station where a Tesla had just beaten us to it. We eventually got a charge at a GeniePoint. I wonder if Maddie could do an update video a year on? As a side note, the BP Station had 10 Fossil fuel pumps with only one car filling up and the Shell Station had 8 Fossil fuel pumps. That’s 18 Fossil fuel pumps and only 3 charging Stations (with 2 not working). This ratio needs to change very, very soon otherwise I can see a big negative story for new EV Drivers. We should be putting the same number of charger as Fossil fuel pumps at each station. Could fully charged do a video on this maybe.

[@mikelludwig]

Just wanted to say, that one year on this video is still worth while. I've been following FC for a while and have learnt a lot from all the videos, but my wife was toying with the idea of getting an EV and was getting confused. I suggested she watch these videos and by the end of the third in the series, she was convinced to move to an EV. Skoda Enyaq ordered today! Thank you so much for a great series on a great channel.

Fantastic series guys! What I like most is that it makes buying an EV so compelling, which I think aligns with your channel's goals perfectly. Maddie does a great job of projecting excitement, engagement and clarity and the episodes and editing felt bang on. Would love to see this style applied to other initiatives. Well done.

I totally enjoyed the entire series "Maddie Goes Electric" and thanks fully charged team to brings this series. Now I can easily share entire series to my friends in order to consider electric cars. I must say electric car became need of the present time given the environmental concerns.

Excellent series - very useful to the electric novice. Maddie is a great communicator and would welcome more of this. Fully charged - Please get more science input from Maddie & Helen - we need to help the public to understand the basics of climate change

Maddie, What a fantastic series of videos on first time ownership of an EV. While I am very nerdy my wife is quite a Luddite so these videos will really help her adjust to our new, and first, EV. Thanks.
