Summary
For our last podcast of 2022 Robert wanted to catch up with 'our man in China' Elliot, to find out what he's been up to, and get the lowdown on all the local news. With updates on BYD's growing dominance, China's grid capacity challenges, the tough times ahead for Tesla, and how by increasing their use of burning coal China are set to smash their emission targets.
Elliot also shares details on the new 'largest wind turbine in the World', and Robert affectionately describes a very popular and cheap EV as being 'like the box your fridge gets delivered in!' From Robert and all the Team at Fully Charged we hope you've enjoyed the podcasts in 2022 and please do stay tuned for more of the same in 2023. And finally, please help us reach 100k subscribers on this channel by SUBSCRIBING, LIKING & SHARING this podcast with all your friends! We really do appreciate all the support.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another wonderful gorgeous episode of the Fully Charged Podcast. |
| 0:11.5 | I'm very short introduction, I just want to mention in case you come across this podcast |
| 0:18.6 | and you don't know about the Fully Charged Show, today's guest has presented literally |
| 0:22.4 | dozens of episodes for us from China. |
| 0:25.8 | Elliot Richards joins us today on the podcast and it's always a joy to speak to him and |
| 0:30.9 | it is one of those weird things where I feel I know Elliot really well because we've talked |
| 0:35.7 | so many times but I've never actually met him in the real world. |
| 0:39.5 | It's all from talking online. |
| 0:42.5 | Obviously he's been locked up in his apartment for quite a long time recently. |
| 0:47.6 | He does mention that in the podcast and it's clearly quite a contentious time in China |
| 0:54.3 | at the moment, particularly in Shanghai where he lives with his wife and gorgeous baby, |

| 1:28.7 | in China looking at amazing cars. |
| 1:31.6 | Just scroll back through the Fully Charged Show's episode and you'll find a lot of stuff. |
| 1:38.4 | Then some of which he'll do a review of a car in like two years later, it'll be on the |
| 1:42.4 | streets in Europe or some less so in the United States but certainly here we're getting |
| 1:47.2 | them a lot. |
| 1:50.0 | So it's really good to talk to him, I just want to say quickly mention that our live shows |
