I assume that would mean constantly reviewing the grant schemes, including the one for taxi drivers, to ensure they are fit for purpose. I accept that the Minister must have a great deal of engagement with the ESB and other stakeholders on the location of the infrastructure. It is necessary to do it but unless there is improvement on prices we can have all the plans we want. All of it should get easier and technology will improve.

Without getting into technical detail that I do not understand myself, I expect there has been considerable engagement with industry on issues around EVs and the longevity of batteries in particular. Can the Minister of State give us any details on that?

What are the plans around the public fleet? We need to meet those targets and that is something in the Government's gift.
