Yes. Malcolm first and then Ben wanted to come in as well.

Yes. Okay. Thank you. Right, we'll move on to Jenny, then.

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Yes. Okay. Well, especially if you're investing a lot of money into substations, I think that would be useful, wouldn't it, really?

Okay. Thank you. And finally from me, just on this section, the Welsh Government's action plan commits to working with the electricity industry to review arrangements for electrical supply to buildings. I'm just wondering whether you see a benefit to that…

Okay.

And that brings us back again to the collaboration aspect that we touched on earlier. So, are you concerned that the target and key performance indicators in the EV action plan aren't being met? For example, target dates to establish a connections group and a…

Okay. Thank you for that. What I'm trying to get at, really, is what more can the energy planning and regulation process do to help and facilitate this future growth and visualisation of what's needed, really, in futureproofing, encouraging anticipatory…

Okay. Malcolm, your evidence talks about how critical the next price control period is going to be as well in terms of network investment, but also whether there's sufficient collaboration and communication on EV infrastructure plans. Do you want to just…

Ben again.

Joyce, you wanted to pick up on something as well.

Huw, you wanted to respond to that.
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Back to you, Janet.

Neil, do you want to respond to that?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Malcolm, do you want to respond?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
We'll pick up on some of these themes later on. We move on now to focus again on the grid. Janet, do you want to raise a few issues?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee

Jenny, did you want to come in?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 3
Jenny wants to come in, but I'll just allow you, Huw, first of all, because you're responding to something that was said directly.

Did you want to pick up on anything, Joyce?

Welcome back, everyone, to this meeting of the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee at the Welsh Parliament, Senedd Cymru. We're continuing with our work, and, indeed, our third evidence session on electric vehicle charging. Joining us…

Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
Well, I think we've come a long way since then, but clearly, there's a long way to go still. We've come to the end of our hour, so can I thank you both very much indeed for your evidence this morning? You'll be sent a draft of the transcript just to check for…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
Yes. It's different, but very relevant, of course. Jenny, did you want to pick up on something?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
I think it touches on the wider cultural change that needs to happen, but maybe Transport for Wales should be shouting a bit louder, really, in terms of what you're doing and what the opportunities are, and what provision is being put out there so that people…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
I'm glad you recognise that, because some of the evidence we've had suggests that, in public communications, when you look at it in the round, there's very little reference to EV charging from Transport for Wales. Given that it is a focus of your work, maybe…
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Electric vehicle charging - evidence session 2
Okay. We've got about 10 minutes left, so just a couple more questions, if we may. I was just going to ask you to outline a little bit of Transport for Wales's work on communication and stakeholder management generally, but particularly the development and…
