Good morning, Tom.

OK, look, we're absolutely delighted to open these two new high speed EV hubs as part of our 15 million EV investment over the last three years.

Our EV infrastructure is designed to make charging fast, reliable, convenient and safe for our customers.

All of our Circle K branded EV chargers are powered by 100% Irish renewable solar energy, which is a great point of difference for our customers and really builds on those sustainability credentials for customers choosing EV.

It's really a game changer.

And I'm sure I know you're an early adopter as well.

You must have been charging your car overnight with these new high speed chargers for standard vehicles.

You can be fully charged within less than 30 minutes.

So it means you can, you know, charge your car, go into the store, grab some fresh food, some hot coffee or some snacks, use the facilities.

So it really does make journeys much, much easier for customers.

Yeah, it is.

Absolutely.

Now, it is the way forward because everyone is time poor.

So it's really important that you can have a high speed on the go.

Most customers, in our experience, don't stop for a full charge.

They're typically topping up while they're on the go.

Yeah, look, our mission is to develop Ireland's largest high powered EV network.

And with 41 EV charging locations across Ireland currently, with over 130 charging points currently live, with more hubs planned, I'm pleased to say we are well on our way to delivering that mission.

The next one in the pipeline would be probably double the size of Clonshock at the minute and one of our big motorway locations.

Well, I can.
