Following on from that, we can potentially see a scenario in which, as the quality of batteries and chargers improve, a huge amount of the charging will happen at home. There is a limited demand for anything outside of that and, in addition, there are the EU regulations to consider. I presume this will change the nature of forecourt operations. Does it raise the possibility that a lot of EV infrastructure might be put in place that is not needed into the future?
