And I think it's going to be a raring success.
Great question.
And the reason that they've said this is because in more rural areas, the likes of Belmullet or Donegal or Dingle, it's more so the only option that that person has is car.
There isn't a public transport bus network, Lewis network, train network, etc.
And so if you're in Donegal, if you don't have a car, the only way that you can get around is either walking, cycling or the very infrequent bus route.
in the area and so they're saying we're going to be people are going to have cars anyway we're going to give them extra money and allocate more funds towards them so that they if they want to go electric they can go electric and the vast majority of people in the country have a driveway can put in a home charger and so you're not having that issue with having off-street parking because i think one of the relation to uh like we talked about the rental accommodation off-street parking so in more urban areas it's sometimes even difficult to get that home charger
100%.
Home charger number one.
And then public charging, because even the most affordable electric vehicle that we had, that we looked at on Evo, after the grant is under β¬13,000 and you're still getting 200 kilometres range, that's getting you halfway across the country.
And there's going to be another 600 fast chargers around the country on national primary and national secondary roads.
And so there's definitely going to be a much more increase in visibility of public chargers out there.
But you're going to be charging at home all the time.
you're rarely going to be taking the small EV on coast to coast, Dublin to Belmolish.
It's going to be for pottering around.
It might be a second car in a house.
And so I'd say that these second cars would very rarely see a public charger because it's going to be at home charging all the time.
Nevo has all the information.
We've got articles, we've got videos, we've got all the rest of it there.
It will be handled via your dealer.
So if you said, I'll go ring up your local dealer and say, I do have a 13-year-old or older petrol or diesel car that's knocking about and I'm thinking about trading it in.
