What’s it all about?

Dan and I go back a long way. As early renewable energy proponents and long suffering Liverpool FC fans. We’ve trodden the boards of renewable energy trade shows, mostly that Dan has organised over many years. Now we’re nearly mainstream, and Dan is leading the extraordinarily good Fully Charged Show, and the Fully Charged Live event. We discuss all things Fully Charged some of the latest eMobility, renewable energy news, but not football.
