Electric motorhomes and smart motorways with The AA
36:14 Share

This week, Matt speaks exclusively with the President of The AA, Edmund King OBE, who reveals worrying truths about SMART motorways. Edmund has long been critical of SMART motorways and he details a flaw in the technology that is putting motorists at risk.

As a result, The AA is encouraging government ministers to rethink how SMART motorways function and to launch a campaign aimed at the ‘middle lane hogs’ to teach safer and more efficient use of motorways.

Edmund and Matt also discuss the future of electric vehicles and the impact this will have on alternative fuel-powered motorhomes, especially with the looming 2030 deadline that requires all new vehicles to be a minimum of hybrid-powered. Does Edmund think this deadline is possible for everyone?

He also shares his own firsthand experience as an EV driver, the challenges of the electric charging network and the impact this will have on motorhome, campervan and caravan owners.

An insightful interview with an influential personality in the automotive industry, we would like to thank Edmund for joining us to discuss these critical topics impacting our industry.
