This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Now, more and more drivers are moving to electric

as the economic and environmental arguments get much harder to ignore.

And the real benefit of an electric car comes when you can charge affordably at home.

It saves time, saves money, difference in the late night queue on the motorway, and stepping

outside in the morning to a car that's already full.

And Fuse makes that shift very, very simple.

It's already the fastest growing energy provider in the UK.

They go further, installing affordable

smart EV charges and linking them directly to their smart EV tariff.

Which means the charger in your driveway sink to the cheapest hours the day, so every charge

costs less. Think of it as having an economist in the garage, but one who finally earns

Fuse is not just supplying power. They're setting you up properly, charger installed, tariff aligned,

everything in place. Switch to fuse today, make driving electric cheaper. Find out more at fuseenergy.com slash politics.
