This week Quentin welcomes Labour’s Shadow Minister for Transport, Bill Esterson MP. In this incredibly insightful interview, they discuss the transition to electric vehicles and Labour’s plans on this front.
As an EV driver and politician, Bill recognises the many benefits of embracing electrification for individual convenience, air quality and economic growth. But he also highlights the current challenges to achieving this, much of which he feels stems from the government’s mixed messaging and the rise in misinformation and scepticism from certain media outlets.
Bill also shares an overview of Labour's plans to accelerate the transition, including details of their "5 missions" framework, aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in renewable energy, fostering economic growth, and creating opportunities for people.
