Is now the time to buy an electric car?
Lucy and Holly look at the financial pros and cons of going electric on the road. James Court from Octopus EV and Erin Baker from Auto Trader unpack the true costs of owning an electric car - from tax perks and lower running costs to charging infrastructure and government policy. What should buyers know before making the switch? And is it smart to invest now, given that petrol and diesel are being phased out by 2030?

Feel Better About Money
A weekly podcast for those who want to understand money better. A podcast from The Times and Sunday Times about what is possible.
The presenters, Lucy Andrews and Holly Mead, are experts in personal finance. Here, they talk about themselves, their friends, neighbourhoods, weddings, meals, and why it is often so very hard to save as much as you'd like!
Each week, Holly and Lucy take a single subject such as pensions or tax to test out with tried and tested experts; many from within the Times Money team. Their aim is simple - to give you the insights and information you can use to make your money work better for you.
