The Driven Podcast: Ioniq launch and selling EVs to V8 crowd

This week marked the official launch of the Hyundai Ioniq, the first electric vehicle with decent range to be on the market for under $50,000 in Australia.

We talk about that, as well as Nigel’s visit to the V8 festival in Newcastle, where he and other electric vehicle enthusiasts showed off their wares. Including an interview with Zero Mow’s Sally Perini.
