Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion

My next question is for the SEAI. How is the grant system for people to upgrade their charging systems in their homes working in practice? I hear good things about it but a couple of people who live in older houses with older wiring have come to me. While the grant will cover the visible charging station at the front, once you get in behind the bricks, it might require a major amount of rewiring that could cost a lot more money. Has there been any discussion in the SEAI about supporting people in upgrading the back-end electrical work that is needed for these chargers?
