    From Petrolheads to EV Drivers? Our Honest Electric Car Debate and What We’d Actually Buy
    Feb 18 2026
    241 Welcome back to Tailoring Talk Magazine and the first episode of Season 15.In this long-overdue return, Roberto, Alex and Jon sit down for an honest conversation about electric vehicles, real ownership experiences and whether switching from petrol to electric actually makes sense in the real world.Roberto opens with a confession: after years of saying he’d never own an EV, he’s now seriously considering selling his BMW M2 and making the switch. From there, the conversation explores the realities of EV ownership, including range anxiety, charging, running costs, practicality and how different lifestyles change what makes a good car.Rather than reviewing cars or reading spec sheets, this episode focuses on real-world use, real budgets, and what each of us would actually buy with our own money.In this episode• Why Roberto is reconsidering electric cars after years of resisting them• Alex’s long-term experience living with EVs and what he’d change next• Jon’s experience with EV ownership, hybrids and reliability challenges• Range anxiety – myth or real problem?• Charging at home vs public charging• How lifestyle and driving habits change what car makes sense• Running costs and the reality of EV ownership day-to-day• The cars we’re currently considering buying• Family EVs vs performance EVs vs city cars• What we’d each choose if we had to decide tomorrowThe discussion also covers several popular electric cars currently on the market, including models from Tesla, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, Kia and others as the team compares range, practicality and real-world usability.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and confession: from petrolhead to considering EVs02:25 – Why this episode: honest conversation, no reviews or spec sheets03:10 – Why Roberto’s M2 isn’t getting used and how this conversation started 04:50 – Alex’s EV journey and living with a Polestar 08:50 – Jon’s EV history, Nissan issues and going electric again 10:50 – Roberto’s Hyundai IONIQ 6 experience and dealership problems13:10 – Realisation: why EVs make sense for city driving15:40 – Running costs, practicality and daily usage20:30 – Range anxiety: myth vs reality and how charging actually works 29:40 – Different lifestyles, commuting and choosing the right EV30:40 – Roberto test driving EVs and reconsidering his stance31:30 – Home charging, solar, and real-world running costs 33:15 – Alex’s criteria for his next EV (road trips, range, usability)37:55 – Roberto presents EV shortlist for Alex38:00 – Tesla Model 3 discussion46:00 – Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai and Kia comparisons 49:30 – Counter suggestions and alternative EV options50:10 – Jon’s shortlist and priorities for a family EV 01:13:50 – Roberto’s current thinking about replacing the M2 01:22:20 – Options, trims and spec pricing discussion01:23:45 – Final thoughts: where each of us stands on EVs 01:25:40 – Outro and wrap-upKey themesOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that there’s no single “best” EV.The right choice depends on how you actually use your car, whether you can charge at home, how far you regularly travel, and what matters most: comfort, range, driving experience or practicality.The episode also highlights how quickly EV technology and infrastructure have evolved in recent years, changing the ownership experience significantly compared with earlier electric cars.Listen if you are:• Thinking about buying your first electric car• Curious about real EV ownership rather than marketing claims• A petrolhead wondering whether electric cars are worth considering• Interested in cars, technology and honest conversationsAbout Tailoring Talk MagazineTailoring Talk Magazine is a podcast about style, technology, cars, culture and the things that make modern life interesting, hosted by Roberto Revilla with co-hosts Alex Hansford and Jon Evans.Follow and SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and share it with someone who’s thinking about going electric.

  • The Best of 2025: Movies, TV Shows, Gaming & Tech We Loved

    The Best of 2025: Movies, TV Shows, Gaming & Tech We Loved
    Dec 30 2025

    Episode 240 - 2025 was a huge year for movies, TV shows, gaming and tech, and in this special year-end episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto is joined by Jon and Alex to look back at the things that stood out the most.


    This isn’t a definitive “best of” list. It’s a personal, opinion-led conversation about the films we couldn’t stop thinking about, the TV shows that hooked us, the games we spent far too many hours playing and the tech that genuinely changed how we work and relax.


    We discuss standout movies like F1, Superman and Weapons, TV series including Severance, Fallout, Andor and Dark Winds, gaming obsessions such as Arc Raiders, EA FC 26 and Outer Worlds 2, plus the everyday tech and gadgets that impressed (and disappointed) us most in 2025.


    Expect strong opinions, honest disagreements, plenty of tangents and a lot of laughs as we wrap up the year.


    If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast, leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share it with someone who loves movies, tech or gaming as much as we do.


    In this episode we cover:


    • Our favourite movies of 2025
    • The TV shows that defined the year
    • Gaming highlights and unexpected obsessions
    • Tech that impressed us and tech that let us down
    • Why this is a personal “best of” rather than a definitive list

  • James Bond Is Back - Denis Villeneuve, Callum Turner & 007 First Light

    James Bond Is Back - Denis Villeneuve, Callum Turner & 007 First Light
    Dec 23 2025

    239 James Bond finally feels like it’s moving again.


    In this episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto and Jon get back together to break down the biggest developments in the Bond universe after a long period of silence. With Amazon now firmly in control, major announcements are finally landing and there’s a lot to talk about.


    We discuss the appointment of Denis Villeneuve as the next James Bond director, why his filmography makes him such an interesting choice and what his world-building approach could mean for the future of 007. We also look at Steven Knight joining as writer, best known for Peaky Blinders, and whether his involvement signals a more grounded, character-driven Bond.


    The conversation then turns to casting, where Callum Turner has emerged as the current favourite to take on the role of Bond. We break down who he is, why his name makes sense and why a lesser-known actor could be exactly what the franchise needs.


    Finally, Jon leads a deep dive into the upcoming Bond video game 007 First Light, including its younger Bond approach, Hitman-inspired gameplay, editions, DLC, Golden Gun controversy and whether this game could help define the next era of Bond ahead of the next film.


    Whether you’re excited, sceptical or somewhere in between, Bond is back in motion and it’s got people talking again.


    In this episode:


    • Denis Villeneuve confirmed as the next James Bond director
    • What his previous films tell us about the future of Bond
    • Steven Knight joins as writer and what Peaky Blinders brings to 007
    • Amazon’s stewardship of the Bond franchise
    • Callum Turner rumours explained
    • Why a lesser-known Bond actor can work
    • Timeline for the next Bond film
    • Full breakdown of 007 First Light gameplay
    • Young Bond, spycraft and Hitman DNA
    • Collector’s editions, DLC and the Golden Gun debate
    • How the game may influence Bond’s future tone
