John and Adam ask whether EVs have a sex appeal problem or just a price problem, why the charging infrastructure for mass adoption may never arrive, and why an old Lexus hybrid might be the greenest car you can buy.

Plus, the dirty secret behind the recycling triangle, why modern car tech is always outdated, and one cracking helicopter story.
