Yeah.

And so any disruption to the supply that replenishes that puts at risk our ability to be able to buy fuel on a day-to-day basis.

And so the moment the government sort of released a four-step plan that had the word ration in it, we saw a run for the door.

And that really did create a frenzy of activity right across the EV industry, as you point out, and Pulsar certainly got its share of that, which was pretty exciting.

The customers we spoke to over that period, they wanted a car right now, right or wrong.

It has settled from there, but it's settled to a level that is higher than it was before, and that's really pleasing to see.

It feels like that there is this...

now a you know a broader understanding of the benefits for an electric car there is a greater appreciation of the flexibility that an electric vehicle brings and independence to be able to charge and run your car people have done a bit more research and realize that there's there's cost benefits to it as well and so i think we're now starting to see just a a gentle rise or a sustained level of interest that's higher than it was before that peak period we've rolled off the peak

That was expected.

We wouldn't have seen it continue like that.

But last month, we saw electric vehicles take up 16% of the total new car market.

We've not seen a number like that before.

We've seen electric vehicle sales double in the first part of 2026 as compared to the same period last year.

And so that's good news.

It will now be interesting to see just where it now settles to and what it runs like.

But it's looking good.

Yeah, that's not an easy thing to do.

Manufacturers need to be able to demonstrate some form of legacy, a little bit of history.

They need to be able to demonstrate a car is a complicated thing.

And so not everyone can knock one of these things together and make it last.
