Has London Cracked the Code on Electric Vehicles?! |Everything Electric Podcast with Michael Hurwitz

Jul 21, 2025

In this episode of The Everything Electric Podcast, we sit down with Michael Hurwitz — one of the most influential voices in clean transport and smart mobility.

For over 15 years, Michael has shaped the future of transportation in the UK and beyond. He launched the UK’s national electric vehicle and driverless car programs for government, and later, at Transport for London (TfL), helped electrify thousands of buses, expanded EV charging infrastructure, introduced London’s e-scooter rental scheme, and led innovation and resilience efforts during the COVID crisis.

Now advising major investors, fleets, startups, and infrastructure providers, Michael reflects on London’s journey to becoming a global leader in electric mobility. We discuss the impact of policies like the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), the real-world challenges of electrifying transport at scale, and the economic and political shifts needed to accelerate the clean transition for all vehicles.
