I am broadly aligned with everybody else. I would suggest that there should be an upper limit on speed of 25 km/h per hour. That can be changed at a local level as per city and the operators’ requirements, particularly over time. Maybe it could be started in the city at a lower speed, as people are getting used to it, and then it can be increased. The point that has been mentioned before is around the conflation of power outage and speed and acceleration. They are not necessarily fully linked, and we need to be aware of that. We can control the speed and we can control the acceleration, almost regardless of what power is. However, we need a certain amount of power to be able to deliver on the speed and acceleration, particularly in hilly areas. Therefore, I think that an upper limit of 1,000 W, but very much at least 500 W in power is needed.
