Mr. Bobby Smith:

On the new technology, it is not an area that Energy Storage Ireland is that close to and so I could not speak to that specifically. There is a use-case for flexibility from EVs. We talked a bit about the incentives that ESB Networks is developing in that area. Regarding degradation of batteries, that is probably an individual consumer choice rather than anything else. From speaking to EV owners, I have heard anecdotally that there may have been preconceptions that the batteries would degrade at a much quicker rate than has actually occurred. It has not been as major an issue as was flagged at the start. Mr. Kennedy might be able to speak to that. This is something that has been slightly overplayed regarding the ability for EVs to provide these services and still maintain a relatively healthy battery life. That is not speaking for everybody here. There could be individual choices at play there.
