So the technology is now here.
By the way, the smartest form of electric charging we've got is where a battery in a car can go both ways.
As you said, powering houses and the grid.
If someone's got one of those cars, we give them 13,000 miles a year, 20,000 kilometers of free driving.
We shouldn't try to convince people of this.
We should be able to show it.
And increasingly now, I was at just a child's birthday event recently, and one of the grandparents was there.
They don't care.
It was someone who isn't environmentalist or anything like that, and they told me the joy
about their electric car because there's a retired couple who bought a tiny electric car.
He said, we've had it a year and a half and we've only paid for charging once.
Because they charge while they're at a supermarket.
They charge on the super cheap tariff at home.
They've only charged out of home once and paid for it.
And I think as people like that tell those stories, actually, the lived experience beats the techno-optimism.
We are now building homes.
We signed deals in eight of the biggest house builders in the UK to build homes where there will never be an energy bill because of a combination of heat pump, battery, and solar panels, and then use some technology to optimize that with the grid.
Yeah, but I think, look, we've got to remember, take the internet, which we've both referenced multiple times as an analogy, right?
It originally came out from a military objective, which was how to maintain secure communications, even in wartime conditions.
The whole idea was how to create a self-healing distributed network.
