I will try to go through things quite quickly because I have even less time than Deputy Kelly. As he said, we get good intel from people who have got retrofits or have bought electric vehicles, EVs, on what does and does not work. One of the things that I heard from a constituent surprised me. Obviously, there is a great reliance on home charging points for EVs. Smartzone is in receivership, as the witnesses are aware. I received a complaint from someone who had their charging point remotely switched off. I understand that has happened to quite a lot of people. Does the SEAI bundle the grants for the purchase of the EVs and the charging accessory? How can we build confidence if that kind of thing can happen?
