You might think that Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, couldn’t be a more environmentally friendly city. Today, it’s a city that has an incredibly high ratio of bike use in Europe and lots of canals, and seems to be almost car-free. In the future, the city wants to go a few steps further. There is an all-new electric vehicle recharging network in the works, the first step in a very ambitious plan: to not have a single vehicle running with internal combustion engines in the city by 2040. The plan starts with 200 recharging stations to be deployed in two years, where vehicles like the Th!nk City, scooters and delivery vans can be plugged in. The city hall will also offer cheaper parking spaces to EVs.

Hannah is a recent graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University where she got a degree in Mathematics. Doing such an intense degree meant that fun needed to be on the top of the agenda, stand up comedians were right up there at the top of the list to break the tension and relax Hannah whether it was on TV or live in the theatre it didn’t matter. Although, not traditional comedians the presenters of Top Gear keep Hannah laughing, whilst giving Hannah the opportunity to learn about cars. Growing up with 3 brothers forced Hannah into listening about cars, but it was only from working in a car showroom that Hannah learnt what people were talking about when they were talking in ‘car speak’.
