RIP Quentin Willson

[Ian Key]

Quentin Willson has died at the age of 68. He was a great advocate for EVs and together with Robert Llewellyn formed "Stop Burning Stuff" to dispel EV myths.

Very sad news. I remember him from Everything Electric London at the Excel in April this year when he appeared on a panel in the Giga Theatre representing and being the founder of FairCharge. We should all be grateful to him in the EV community for all his campaigning.
I loved his unique and forthright style, and I will always remember his nickname by the Top Gear presenters as Count Quintula, a reference to the Sesame Street character of Count Dracula to which there was a physical resemblance. RIP Quentin.

It was always a privilege to listen to some one who would put his knowledgeable views across in an ardent but balanced and non hysterical fashion ready to counter any opposing argument with provable well researched facts . As above RIP.

Yes, a real loss to the EV community.

Someone who was clearly a fan of cars and saving people money, yet a tireless advocate of EVs as being the future direction of motoring.

RIP.

He was, as I said on another forum, a top man, sound as a pound.

I'm off now to watch some of his stuff on YT.
