I think it's just really interesting that when we get beyond the issue of charging points per se, and we get into the wider transformation of how we travel, where we travel, then things like community car clubs become really interesting, but they are a…

Yes, purely—. You had an interesting choice of words there, that the grid capacity may not be enabling people to step into a particular area. The converse of that is it's constraining. So, can I just try and unwrap that a little bit? Is it constraining…

You think those should be somehow reflected in more updated KPIs or something.

Tell us how that would work, how we deal with that social justice issue. Because if we leave this to the private sector in terms of the roll-out, in terms of liaising where these are, and so on, but typically the price and the affordability, I can't see it…

Okay. I think I've gone far enough on that, because I think colleagues, Chair, will take this forward. Thank you.

Thanks for that, and I know that colleagues are going to come back, Chair, on the issue of grid issues generally. But let me go a little bit further with this, and perhaps open it up to our other two witnesses by asking them for their views on both the…

I wonder if I could put the same question to our National Grid witness as well.

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Could I begin by asking our colleague from SP Energy Networks whether you consider the delivery of the Welsh EV charging strategy's 2025 vision is achievable and on target?

From a planning perspective, where are they charging their car? From what I'm hearing from you, they're walking probably two to five minutes away to a communal area where they're charging their car, which is a big cultural shift, I have to say, from parking…

What does charging look like for that individual living on that street?

Can I just ask you—? We've got various deadlines set in stone—2025, 2030, 2035. Then we've got the phasing out of any sale, at a UK level, of hybrid and petrol and diesel vehicles and so on, so things are going to change quite rapidly. What does it look like…

My question, Chair, was primarily to do with local authority, but can I abuse the opportunity just for a moment?

Chair, I wonder if I could just follow up on the one unanswered part of my question—and my apologies, because I began with it and then went off into this wider future scoping thing—the issue of social justice and how, as we look to roll this out, if we accept…

It's on that and a related point; I want to ask you both this question. It seems that this is a technology where primarily it's going to be driven by early adopters, more affluent people, people who are willing to take a calculated financial risk to invest in…

Thank you. I'm nervous about even asking this, but we always deal with the challenge that's immediately ahead of us, so we're focusing on the roll-out of EV points, the right ones in the right place at the right quantum and so on, and all of those things, and…

Ah, right. Interesting. So, two of the key partners in driving this forward, making the difference in Wales, are TfW and our local authorities. So, do any of our witnesses have a view on whether they have sufficient capacity, expertise, powers, tools and…

Can I just briefly ask you to go a little bit further on that? Because it seems that what you're saying is that Welsh Government, indeed, has a role—this is not dissimilar to broadband roll-out—where UK has the prime role, but Welsh Government can make it go…

Thank you very much. The main policy levers for driving this forward rest at a UK level, and the strategy by and large is a market-driven strategy with assistance from Government. So, things like the bans on diesel and petrol cars and vans to push this agenda…

Just to follow-up on that line of questioning, how much of this is skewed on a UK figure by London and the south-east, or other geographic factors? So, for example, in terms of uptake of electric vehicles, is Wales pretty much comparative to the north-east or…
