From Everything Electric Show.
In this special episode of the Everything Electric podcast, Robert jumps into the passenger seat of a Fiat 500 Electric with Katie White MP, Minister for Climate in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero
From her early days as a "petrol head" and Jeremy Clarkson fan to leading the charge on the UK’s carbon budgets, Katie shares her unique journey into climate politics.
