I thank Mr. Cazzola. It is after 2.30 p.m. so we will have wrap up the meeting. On behalf of the committee, I thank our guests for their incredibly interesting contributions, not just their opening statements, but also the way in which they have answered the questions of members. There were some very interesting and thought-provoking questions from members which I know will help the committee to draft a report on this issue, but also help to inform us in terms of how we approach the issue of electric vehicles. EVs will play an important role in reaching our emissions target of a 51% reduction by 2030 but, after the discussions today, it is clear that this will not be straightforward. EVs are not a silver bullet but they will play a part. I again thank the witnesses.
