I thank Professor Daly. Can I pick up on her previous point regarding the challenge of the electrification of the rural fleet? It is real; people living rurally need to drive further. There may not be many electric vehicle options for them. Perhaps our colleagues based in Europe might take my question. Is there an analysis of range anxiety as an issue in terms of how it drives - excuse the pun - the sales of larger vehicles? I am trying to get my head around how real that problem is or how much of it is a marketing tool to sell bigger and more expensive cars. If it is the latter, what can be done through a policy approach to remove range anxiety?
