Mazda is bucking trends! Check out my exclusive podcast with Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director of Mazda UK. In this interview Jeremy gives us the inside line on Mazda’s bold two-pronged strategy, balancing the advancement of electric vehicles (EVs) with a continued commitment to the internal combustion engine (ICE).
In our latest update from the world of EVs and market trends for Electric Cars, with the revelation that car manufacturers are losing around $6000 or nearly £5000 on every $50,000 electric car sold. Plus how EVs sales volumes are likely to fall well short of Biden’s mandate of 60% by 2030, and how manufacturers must change or find themselves in an untenable situation.
In this video, we’re taking a trip into the near-future with “Tesla vs. BMW: Robot Wars Ignite! Automakers Shift Gears to AI Androids – They’re Coming!” This isn’t just a tech update; it’s a full-throttle exploration of a world where automotive excellence meets cutting-edge robotics. From the nostalgic steps of Honda’s Asimo to the sophisticated dance moves of Tesla’s Optimus, we’re tracking the evolution of humanoid robots that are about to transform our daily lives in ways we’ve only dreamed of.
How has ULEZ, rising interest rates and the cost of living crisis impacted the Classic Car Market, if at all? And what are the top tips to buy? I’m joined by classic car trader and consultant Matt Groom for this special podcast.
Used car prices are still rising, but they have slowed, partly due to the drop in EV values, and this is despite the ULEZ Premium which is a real thing. Data from Autotrader.
Which is ultimately best for the environment? A brand new Cradle-to-Grave study compares Electric Cars to Internal Combustion Engine Cars and reveals surprising results! In this eye-opening video, I delve deep into the battery-powered Electric Vehicle (EV) versus Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) debate. I take a comprehensive look at the research conducted by Fair Fuel UK, ABD (Alliance of British Drivers), and MAG (Motorcycle Action Group). Discover the surprising findings that challenge the popular notion of EVs being environmentally superior. From CO2 emissions to manufacturing processes, we uncover the truth about the ecological impact of both vehicle types. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion that aims to separate fact from fiction in the world of automotive technology.
Renault and Geely have just announced a joint venture to develop and build petrol, diesel and hybrid engines – going against the tidal wave of the EV Revolution. With potentially huge investment from Saudi Aramco for its $7 plan, headquartered in the UK – where sales for new petrol and diesel cars are planned to be banned in just 7 years’ time. Utter craziness or insightful genius? Does the ICE fightback start here?
It appears that EV sales are rocketing and market share is growing, but the heavy discounting and cutbacks in production tell a different story, one that could scupper the future of EVs and hurt the motor industry itself!

If you think ULEZ won’t affect you, the presence of these cameras on your local street should make it real. If not today, be sure that these cameras are coming for you, and sooner than you think. And they won’t stop at cars – smug cyclists better take heed, you’re on the radar too.
