Michael Boxwell (Voltempo) and Martin Rees (Berkeley Coachworks) have been at the bleeding edge of innovation longer than most people have had an EV. From land speed records and charging breakthroughs to long-forgotten prototypes and improbable partnerships. This is what happens when two pioneers sit down, crack open a drink, and dig into the stories that shaped a movement.
There’s no script, no agenda, just two old friends trading tales from the past, the future, and everything in between.
