Fully Charged


Fully Charged is a YouTube channel and website focusing on electric vehicles and renewable energy founded by writer, broadcaster and actor Robert Llewellyn, Llewellyn hosts as well as Maddie Moate, Helen Czerski, Chelsea Sexton and since May 2020 former Top Gear presenter Rory Reid. Previous hosts include Jonny Smith. The channel has covered a wide range of topics around electric vehicles including electric cars, electric bikes, electric aircraft, electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Fully Charged also covers a wide range of renewable energy topics including solar power, wind power, UK energy policy, cycling infrastructure, air pollution and air pollution monitoring.
Fully Charged began in 2010 and has since amassed more than 637,000 subscribers and 87 million views as of February 2020. The channel is viewer supported through the crowdfunding platform Patreon and previously through advertising and partnerships with Ecotricity, Bosch and British Gas.
Fully Charged also produce a weekly podcast discussing news and current topics not covered by the videos. In May 2019 a second YouTube channel, named Fully Charged Plus, was launched with the purpose of uploading all the podcast episodes in YouTube video format, and releasing other longer-format videos such as talks and lectures, different from the usual episodes.

Live events

The inaugural Fully Charged Live event, was held at Silverstone Circuit over the weekend of 9-10 June 2018. The event included panel discussions, presentations, exhibitions stalls from vendors and sponsors, and vehicle displays. Attendance at the event exceeded Llewellyn's expectations - attracting over 6,000 people. This event introduced physicist Dr Helen Czerski as a presenter of the team.
In 2019 the event took place in Silverstone on 7–9 June, and the first event in the United States, titled Fully Charged Live USA, was at Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas on 1–2 February 2020..
