The Fully Charged Podcast - Does Britain Even Have a Car Industry Anymore? with Steve Fowler

Automotive journalist Steve Fowler (Autocar, Auto Express, What Car? and now The Independent) joins Robert Llewellyn in his kitchen for a wide-ranging chat about an industry in the middle of huge change.

We cover the Tesla Roadster launch, meeting Elon Musk, a defensive Paris Motor Show, the new Jaguar, Range Rover reliability, the electric Bentley, whether Britain still has a car industry, and why Chinese brands now arrive competitive from day one. We also get into Waymo, self-driving and where Steve thinks electric cars go from here!
