In recognition of International Women’s Day, Quentin Willson engages in a compelling conversation with Lorna McAtear, Head of Fleet at the UK’s National Grid and Joint Chair of the Association of Fleet Professionals.
Lorna shares insights into the benefits and challenges of transitioning to an electric fleet, offering an honest assessment of the performance of National Grid’s 21,000 vehicles in relation to common beliefs about EVs.
Quentin also takes the opportunity to quiz Lorna about the Grid’s capacity to handle the growing demand for EV charging, its future-proofing strategies, and the obstacles to decoupling gas and electricity pricing to lower electricity costs for consumers.
