02 Nov 2019 | Saturday Special Interview: Wiebe Wakker
In 1,222 days Wiebe Wakker drove 100,450km through 34 countries from the Netherlands to New Zealand in his electric 'Blue Bandit', with the aim to educate, inspire and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.
Wiebe Wakker was in the country recently for a whistlestop tour and sadly I couldn’t make it to Kent, but that doesn’t stop this podcast! This week’s interview from Jon from Kent EVs, and if you follow him online you’ll know him as Beardy McBeardface.
