Did you know that the carbon impact of producing ten cheeseburgers is the same as one passenger travelling 167 miles on a London bus? Or that high levels of air pollution lead to over 40,000 premature deaths and 6 million sick days each year?But maybe the future isn't as bleak as it seems. What if we told you that by turning down your thermostat by one degree, you could save 320 kg of carbon dioxide annually? And that renewables are already generating a sizeable amount of energy around the world each year?In The Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy, experts from around the globe explore how sustainable technology - everything from solar panels to wind turbines and electric vehicles - is getting cheaper, more effective and more available, and how by making everyday changes, we could see the 'big switch' in the coming decade.Presenting the latest innovations in the renewable energy and automotive industries, this book busts myths, provides suggestions and solutions for how to go green, explores how countries around the world are already improving the quality of life of their residents, and looks at where clean energy will take us next.

The book turned up a few months late (which is not bad for Unbound - I've had books I've supported turn up years late and/or completely different to the original concept) but it was a nicely made and printed hardbound book, along with access to an ebook version. Whilst the "author" is listed as Robert Llewelyn its actually a collection of lots of short articles and reviews by lots of people. They try to cover a range of questions that people might be asking about electric vehicles and/pr renewable energy such as "what are the batteries made from?", "will the grid run out of power for mass EVs?", "will going vegan improve my environmental footprint?" and "is EV smart charging useful?". Towards the second half of the book they switch to trying to do a round up off all the major electric cars available (or soon to be available).
Having read the book I'm still in two minds about it. Whilst a lot of work has obviously gone into it, I'm not sure what market it is aimed at, other than fans of the YouTube channel like me. The information it contains is interesting, but its nothing you can't get online in far more detail from a few quick Google searches. The car lists are going to age quickly, and they're mostly Robert or Jonny Smith's opinions on the ones they've seen or driven. I'd guess it might be useful for a couple of years for EV fans to have on hand to lend to friends or colleagues who are considering "going electric". There's also a few errors that have crept past the editors - things like power units getting confused which is the sort of thing you'd expect in a tabloid newspaper article but not in a book dedicated to electrification. Minor but annoying and might confuse the newbies that might be given this book. (
