Dan Liddle is the founder and CEO of an American Electric Vehicle Charging manufacturer called SplitVolt, but they don't just sell the standard portable plug in chargers (full disclosure, the host uses the SplitVolt NEMA 14-50 in his Nissan Leaf). The company's big product, the one that separates them from the pack, is called the SplitVolt "Splitter." The Splitvolt Splitter Switch products allow you to save money on electrician fees for adding power circuits to your home, as well as avoiding the time and complexity of the process. Their device saves on all of that by intelligently and automatically sharing power on *existing* 30amp dryer circuits and installation is as simple as plugging in a couple power cords.

KATE WALTON ELLIOT is a really cool awesome person. You may have seen her on Transport Evolved, or at least you've DEFINITELY seen an episode she's been a part of. She hails from Britain, where Susie Dent will haunt you if you end a sentence in a preposition like we just did. and she made the journey to America about a decade ago. You know Jonny Smith, formerly of the CarPervert of the Fully Charged, and of the Fifth Gear, who changed the name of his show to a really lame name of the LateBrakeShow? Remember his little tiny car that he snagged up the land speed record for? KATE SOLD HIM THAT CAR. Kate ALSO has several of her own fully functioning conversion projects - the Morris is our favorite, because if we close our eyes, we can pretend that it's the only Morris thing in the world, and forget that Morris Dancing ever existed at all. Ah, that ones a knee-slapper. Like they slap their kneeeees in... ohmygod, make it stop. WHEN SHE ISN'T WORKING ON EV'S, SHE's SAVING LIVES IN AS A NURSE. But we barely talked about that, because lame - who wants to hear more about Covid? Ugh. Transport Evolved: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC675NhQ4EU5TzwCMwYp5XCw
