| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the fully charged plus podcast. |
| 0:21.6 | My name is Robert Lewin and I'd just like to start by reminding myself and you lovely |
| 0:26.1 | listeners, a tiny bit of background on the series on why we bother making it. |
| 0:30.5 | This podcast itself has only been going for about three years or so, but our main show |
| 0:34.8 | on YouTube is rapidly heading for its 12th birthday, 12 years. |
| 0:40.2 | In that 12 years we've seen some truly momentous changes in the transport and energy sector, |

| 1:27.9 | But now we need to look at the bigger picture of how this technology can fit into our lives |
| 1:32.1 | and benefit the largest number of people. |
| 1:34.9 | How things like car ownership, the car ownership model that we currently employ with cars, |
| 1:39.6 | which in the grand scheme of things isn't very sustainable. |
| 1:44.5 | How do we adjust to dealing with that, to not maybe owning cars outright, but sharing |
