About the episode

Everyday batteries get smaller and quieter, leaving manufactures with an empty blueprint and one central question: what should and could electric vehicles sound and look like? Dr Stephan Gsell, Audi Sound Engineer, joins Rusty and Nadine to discuss exactly how they answered that question when it came to the sound of the Audi e-tron GT and why a didgeridoo was central to the process. Our meet an EV-er Chris Kerr from Clipsal by Schneider Electric tells us about the most comfortable 30,000kms he’s ever driven now he’s in a Hyundai IONIQ 5, and Ralph Giles, Head of Design Global at Fiat Chrysler is back to discuss the evolution of electric vehicle design and what could be on the design horizon for Jeep and the iconic 7-bar grille in the future.
