They have gone through it quite forensically. I do not want to cut across Mr. Meally. For the average person an electric car is on the horizon but it is over the horizon. People do not see it as immediate. They see they will probably get one more car before moving to an EV. It comes down to cost. I take the point on the shift in mode. The average person might only do a long journey a couple of times a year but they want certainty. If I am on fossil fuel, I can pull in along the motorway and get diesel or petrol. There are factors and reliability. The devil is always in the detail. This is an aside. I have several questions but I will wait my turn.
