Alex and Jim look back at the last month of trips, driving EVs, filming videos and much more. Jim has been testing the Suzuki eVitara and the surprisingly impressive MG IM5, while Alex has been behind the wheel of everything Geely, including the Geely EX5, Smart #1 and the Volvo V60. They also share their highlights from the SMMT Test Day, discuss why the Hyundai Ioniq 6N feels so different to the 5N, and talk about whether plug-in hybrids are the best or worst of both worlds.

This time on the Charging Status EV Podcast, Alex is back from China after wondering around the humongous Beijing Auto Show and being one of the first people from the UK to drive the new Lepas L8. Also, some more serious chat about why we seem to just get SUVs and crossovers from China and when are we going to see something more interesting. Jim has also been driving some new cars from Peugeot and Mercedes and Alex has spent some time with the new Jaecoo 8.
