Before Mr. Waldron comes in, I note that we all avail of taxis. I take the train and then get a taxi. The first thing that I always ask a taxi driver is how he or she feels about his or her electric vehicle and I receive a positive response in general. The grant is a positive grant and the problem lies with the mechanisms to reach a certain point. Ironically, many people say that the problem lies with the level of the grant. That does not appear to be the primary issue here. The delegations present are the experts on this industry. As I am an accountant by training, I normally go through the figures with representatives so I have a pretty good idea of the figures. They work and they will work into the future when you seek to change a car.
