What did you make of that, Alan, and what do you think it potentially could do

to derailing potentially the uptake of those vehicles?

Yeah, I think that's right.

I think it's moved, hasn't it, from being an ideological question for some people who wanted to purchase electric vehicles because they wanted to do their part to

to fight against changes from climate change, whereas now for most people it's economic.

As you say, for some people that's about making sure that they're not paying inflated prices for diesel fuel or petrol fuel or whatever they're using in their vehicle.

But also just now that the actual purchase of those vehicles has become so much cheaper that they're competitive with buying an internal combustion engine anyway.

So I think those numbers, yes, the incentives obviously help to make that stack up.

But the cheaper they become, you know, the less important those incentives becomes as well.

Alan, thank you so much for joining us for Fuelcast.

Who will you be chatting with, Alan?

Today's interview is with Hugh Marks, our boss.

Should be fascinating.
