Whilst driving I will talk though the potential options for the future of motoring, is it petrol, hybrid or electric? I will talk through some potential possibilities and then I can compare electric vs petrol though facts and not a personal test. We have also adapted a lot of the script to flow better. It looks ok on paper but once you read it through sometimes it doesn't make sense or could be long winded. We spent a long time as a team going through and adapting it, we worked well together as a team and the script now looks much better than when it did at the start of the night.
I added some facts including the price of an electric car and and petrol car of the same make and model which is a great side by side comparison of how much more expensive an electric car can be from the offset.
I also added details about a study that a website had done to show the cost of fully "fuelling up" a petrol car and an electric car. After cracking the numbers I worked out that it cost a substantial amount less to run an electric car, however the offset is the much higher cost upfront.Source: https://www.thegreenage.co.uk/tech/running-costs-electric-cars/
Cailan did a great job to follow up something I suggested and create a kit list for each day whilst the rest of us worked on the script. Here is what cailan created (Full credit to him, i only suggested the idea)
MONDAY (Driving the cars, PTC's inside car, outside car);
Panasonic DVX 200 4K Camera (Studio's)
Sony AX53 Camera (Alex's)
2 x GoPro's + Windshield Mounting Clips
Tripod
Fig Rig
TUESDAY (Car Dealerships, SMART Interview);
Panasonic DVX 200 4K Camera (Studio's)
Sony AX53 Camera (Alex's)
Tripod
Fig Rig
WEDNESDAY (Filming in London - Stratford, Battersea, Cardinal Place and Canary Wharf);
Sony AX53 Camera (Alex's)
Lumix G7 4K Capable Camera (Alex's)

FRIDAY (Greenscreen Work at Maidstone Studios);
Panasonic DVX 200 4K Camera (Studio's)

Green-screen and Support Kit (Studio's)
2x Tripod
With this list we can have a quick look each day and not need to lug around extra kit which will mean we will should be able to get around locations quicker and also then be able to spend extra time at location through less time travelling.The Kent Film office sent Andrew this conformation for filming and we are happy to have this as we had all had issues with KFO in the past meaning we where pessimistic if they would be able to help us.
Here is the final working script:

But first we wanted to look at the average cost of a car journey in today’s economy, how accurate that is and how affordable it is compared to other options.

Alex - ”Have you ever thought how much you actually spend on petrol, how much does daily commute cost? We’re going to run my car for 15 miles to see how much a small commute like this may cost”

PTC (MLS Alex Next To Car)
|
Alex - “According to Abarth’s official figures this car will do 43.5 Miles Per Gallon, of course that will be on a rolling road in a controlled environment but we want to see how close to that figure we can achieve over our run”

Alex - “So, Typically I get 39 mpg in this car which means this journey would only cost around £4 normally but with a crew and kit in the car it could well be more.”

Alex - “So, The reason why most of us are probably sceptical about electric is because buying and using buying and using petrol is so simple. There is a petrol station every five minutes and it only takes a moment to fill up.
However, resources are starting to decline and have been for quite some time. Several sources estimate that in the next 50 years we could be out of fossil fuels to power our cars. Meaning that an alternative could be needed much earlier than expected.

Alex - “So, what are the alternatives to petrol? Well electric seems to be what most people see as the future. But let’s compare the basic petrol version of the volkswagen golf to its electric cousin. The petrol version costs just under £18,000 while the electric model is a tad under 28,000, and that is WITH the grant the government gives to you for buying electric. You then need to factor in costs for a home charging station and extra costs on your electricity bill.

Alex - “So how much would it cost you to run a electric car. Research by “The Green Age . co . uk” says that to fully charge Renault’s Electric car the Zoe it would cost you £4.92, while filling up a similarly sized Petrol Renault Clio it would cost you £53”

Alex - “So when you do the numbers, doing 504 miles in the electric car would cost you £13.30, still much cheaper than a petrol but it does make you think about the range of electric cars, it may not be an option for people who have to make long journeys regularly.”

Andrew/Cailan -“An insightful report there, so now Alex Baldwin is Live on location with an electric car expert, who can hopefully give his view on the future of motoring, Alex.

Alex-”Thanks Cailan/Andrew, yes I’m here with AJAY he is a passionate electric car expert, who we’ll be hearing from shortly”.
|
PTC
|
Andrew/Cailan- “Yes but before that we understand that you’ve been speaking to some car mechanics about maintaining electric cars and how they compare to petrol.”
|
PTC
|
Alex- “Yes we wanted to get some further expert opinions on this topic, so we spoke to car mechanics Bo and Nigel who brought up some interesting points and had this to say.”

Alex - “Working with electric cars can be quite simple on one hand, since your only have a battery and a motor to work with. However if there is an electrical fault then it could become much more difficult to fix costing the owner a lot of time, money and hassle.”
Alex - “We also asked about reliability and breakdowns for electric cars. With standard cover its free to call out an engineer if you break down on a journey; however when we spoke to one on the phone they said “Most of the calls we get from electric car owners, unlike petrol owners, come from those who can't get them started in the first place due to a battery or electric fault”. In which case you’d have to pay for it to be taken to a garage and potentially a replacement battery.”
“You also have to bare in mind that although it happens over a long period of time, electric cars do suffer from battery degradation, and if this were to happen outside of warranty you’d have to pay for a replacement yourself.”

Alex - “So as you can see they brought up some interesting points there that make you consider weather electric really is an affordable option. But here to give his opinion on the subject is, passionate electric car nut AJ.”
