## SAYONARA! Is JAPAN being left behind? And JACK’s ‘gear’ change! It’s no secret that this is a year of change at the **Fully Charged Show** , and after 5 years of relative ‘sustainability’, we’re bidding farewell to a few of our biggest stars (in front of, and behind the scenes). And now, arguably none bigger than, Jack Scarlett. And we’ve had some serious on-screen talent, from the immense Imogen Bhogal, to the magnificent Maddie Moate, and not forgetting the incredibly funny, Jonny Smith. In fact, when Jonny left to launch the Late Brake Show, he left huge shoes to fill. And then we happened on the talented (and tall), Jack Scarlett, who was making a name for himself over on Electroheads. From the moment, I saw him I was convinced that Jack was a future star, and we were able to persuade him to join the **Fully Charged Show** for a while, which turned out to be 5 fabulous years. As you will, I have a huge trove of fave moments with Jack, but rather than divert your attention, I’d recommend you listen to this, his last **Everything Electric PODCAST** , with our OG, Robert Llewellyn. In it he reflects on his recent sabbatical in Japan and its absence from the battery electric battleground, as well as giving us a glimpse of the glittering road ahead for his career. The truth is, I always suspected he was headed for even greater things. We’re just grateful that we all got to enjoy his good humour and automotive acumen for quite as long as we did. Farewell Jack, see you down the road! All the best, Dan, Robert & the team PS See Robert & the rest of the gang at our biggest events of the year in September!

## USELESS ULEZ – Is London’s Air Really Cleaner Now? Air pollution in London has changed dramatically over the past few decades — but how much of that is down to policies like ULEZ, and what’s still being missed? This week Helen Czerski is joined by Dr. Gary Fuller, an air pollution scientist at Imperial College London who has spent over 30 years measuring air quality in the capital. They cover what’s actually in the air we breathe, how ULEZ and other low-emission schemes have changed it, and the surprisingly large health benefits that are now being measured — plus the pollution sources still flying under the radar. Catch us live at _Everything Electric GREATER LONDON_ (Twickenham, 11-12 Sept) and Sydney (18-20 Sept). ## Timestamps **0:00** Intro – ULEZ and London’s air today **2:21** Meet Dr. Gary Fuller **3:50** Has London’s air pollution actually improved? **7:25** What’s in the air **11:45** How air pollution is measured **16:34** A short history of LEZ and ULEZ **19:13** The evidence **25:37** Tyre and brake wear – the overlooked pollution source **29:24** What Gary would fix next: Heathrow, aviation fuel, wood burning **33:46** Health impacts – the Ella Kissi-Debrah case **37:32** Quantifying ULEZ’s health benefits **44:23** Why doesn’t the health argument win politically? **48:59** US case study: 40% drop in admissions after a plant closed Why not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: www.everythingelectric.show To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: _**commercial@fullycharged.show**_ Test drive dozens of the very best cars at our events, get your tickets NOW! * Everything Electric GREATER LONDON – 11th-12th September 2026 * Everything Electric SYDNEY – 18th-20th September 2026 * * * **Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.
