Same in the UK, although they, no, it was 2035, then the last administration moved it back to 2030. Good luck. They're not even ready. They're not ready. The grid's not ready.

And the most sophisticated assessment of this that I've come across was just a very normal person I was talking to one day in an airport who said, surely the solution is that you just use... what's pertinent to the energy that's easiest where you live. And I think it's the best way of explaining it. If you live here, you drill a hole in the ground. There's oil around here.

If you live in Iceland, you drill a hole in the ground. There's loads of geothermal. So why wouldn't you have an EV there? It's brilliant. It's everywhere. It's quite a small country. You don't need to travel large distances.

Yeah, but also, if you live there and you've got loads of batteries and you have a cartridge system where you can slot them in and out, it's doable, isn't it? I just think we need to be a bit cleverer about it. But at the moment, the subject's approached with... This is good. This is evil. At the moment, we live in a Star Wars reality.

So effectively, you're either the rebellion or you're Darth Vader and his crew. And you will as well. I've been pushed into the corner of being Darth Vader. I just don't think I am.
