Electric cars aren’t going to fix climate change but they are an important part of a zero emissions future, and they’re also really smart pieces of technology.

The Co-op is a bit of an inspiration for me — a community organisation which has survived many challenges, not least, adapting their entire business to socially-distanced and online shopping on […]
