What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been listening to EV News a long time and love learning about what’s happening in the EV industry, but now he’s doing even more cool content like deep dives on specific new EVs or EV technologies. I didn’t know I wanted to learn about 12 volt batteries or Chinese EVs until Martyn started educating me. Love this podcast!!!

Llllinda h · Sep 2025

Martyn Lee does a great job with these updates. He supplies well informed insights along the way and his style is always engaging. I never miss an update.

CbGeebus · Jul 2025

I love the way this podcast distills the latest EV / EV charging news down into a manageable, digestible chunks. Thank you!

I’ve been a listener for years. This is the best way to efficiently stay up to speed on electric vehicle (EV) news. Great job, keep it up, Martyn!

A once great show that has been plagued with issues lately. The worst are the ads. On a consistent basis, shows are more than 50% ads (by runtime). The show will start with ad after ad, often repeated ads, often offensive ads. I have heard racist ads, misinformation ads from the gas & oil industry, and other objectionable religious and political content. He will often have ad breaks that interrupt mid-sentence. Then the show finishes with 2-3 minutes of more ads. But they have no consistency so you can’t set your podcatcher to skip them. I listen to about 200+ episodes of podcasts a week, and this is the only one that has these issues. Why is everyone else able to figure this out but him? I listen to a fair amount of podcasts from the UK, so that isn’t an excuse. Another issue is he often disappears for long stretches, he’s comes back and says things like, “sorry I was away, but I was spending lots of time ending another podcast”. Why would you spend excessive time on something that’s ending at the expense of your main show? This show used to be one of my faves, but I’m about to unsubscribe. I really hope he gets sorted. He seems like a great bloke who has a good heart, but struggles to manage his priorities.

The Real Zen Boy · Apr 2024

This was a great source for quick updates on what’s happening across the EV industry. It looks like it has gone away with no episodes since the end of October, and no update at all from the host. Website seems to be gone as well if you click the link below.
