Mr. Doyle referred to the percentage of emissions that comes from privately-owned cars and encouraging people from getting away from diesel and petrol. Diesel is widely used around the country, particularly outside urban areas. For those who do make the transition, there is the matter of charging units. On long journeys, many people stop off at motorway points. How will it be managed whereby instead of people stopping for diesel or petrol that they call in to charge their car? I recently noticed a charging unit. How will this be managed among companies? The Department is obviously examining that.
