Will the Minister of State give some more detail on electric vehicles, EVs? There is a conversation to be had with all stakeholders to ensure that we have an infrastructure that makes people more prepared to buy the vehicles if they have the money. We accept these are incredibly costly vehicles. Industry also has its difficulties around chips etc.

There is a narrative around our failure to reach targets on the public electric vehicle fleet. What are the plans to rectify that and get us back on track? They are the Department's targets and the Minister of State needs to deliver on them.
