I thank the witnesses for coming in today and apologies for the delay in getting them in. Ms Ward is looking for clarity on the use of petrol stations that are not on motorway or main road locations. Would it be correct to make the leap that the ESB would recommend that any and all existing petrol stations of any reasonable size would be included in such a scheme? It would be my view that they would be included if we are to meet our targets of having only electric vehicles by 2030. Surely every current filling station would be turned over. I do not want to put words in Ms Ward's mouth but is that what ESB e-cars would be looking for?
