If you're relying on the public network, you're paying more or less the same as a petrol and diesel car.

So it's essential that people without driveways and terrace houses and all of those actually find a way to avail of cheap home charging.

Yeah, I mean, the more options in the second-hand market, in the end of the day, that's where the vast majority of people shop for a car.

They don't buy a new car.

They buy a second-hand car.

So the more EVs we have in the second-hand car, the more of a just transition we're going to get.

Yeah, I mean, I think the market is getting there.

23% of new cars bought at the moment are electric.

grants just tend to distort a market.

So I'd nearly be in favour of taking grants away from passenger cars and putting the money

into commercial fleets and the charging infrastructure and coming up with curbside charging for people who don't have driveways.

And that's what we need to be tackling now.

We're at a different stage of the market.

The market is actually sorting itself out and prices are coming down.

Yeah, well, what I was quoting were the most popular EVs.

They're the price bracket for the top five.

There are, there's EVs available for 18,000 new, but they're not going to suit a family.

They suit a particular type of buyer and it's great that they're there and the cheapest cars in the market at the moment are EVs.

But if you're looking at the average family,

then that's the sort of prices you're looking at.
