In this episode of the Fully Charged Show, Imogen joins fisherman and boat builder Hans Unkles aboard his electric fishing boat in the picturesque Tayvallich on Scotland’s West Coast. Driven by a desire to give back to the fishing industry, Hans meticulously converted the 1978 CN73 vessel into an electric boat. He shares his experiences of lower operating costs, days powered entirely by solar energy, as well as the challenges of obtaining approval from the Marine Coastguard Agency and the unearthing the stumbling blocks that are an occupational hazard of going first. @itllneverwork-EFV @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow
