The Electric Virgins podcast series puts stars into electric cars for the first time to let them make the mistakes, so you don’t have to!

Putting our celebrities in the driving seat enables them to tackle the challenges that we know all drivers face when they first make the switch; in a recent Electrifying.com survey over half of drivers admitted that they feel less confident driving an electric car than they do a petrol or diesel motor.

Our humorous, no holds barred conversation covers the trials, tribulations and triumphs of making the switch and is packed with useful information to help all the other ‘electric virgins’ out there.

From electric cars being surprisingly quiet, to the strange sounds they do make, with public charging, range anxiety and the latest tech thrown in along the way; each Electric Virgin has a fascinating tale to tell with some embracing switch better than others. 

Guests for series one of Electric Virgins are Love Islander Eyal Booker, who turns up the heat with his sexy Polestar 2. Radio DJ Toby Anstis strikes the right notes with a Ford Mustang Mach-E and survivalist Megan Hine samples life in the wilderness with a Hyundai IONIQ 5. Television chef Simon Rimmer serves up his verdict on electric life, Sky Sports presenter Simon Thomas goes into extra time with a Cupra Born while daytime telly favourite and former Pop Idol judge Nicki Chapman puts the kettle on in her Kia EV6.
