Yes, it's not that long ago since we had outside toilets built outside homes, but now it's a kind of expectation that you have a bathroom in the house. We need to move with the times. 

So, you need local-use charge points, but we have to have a proper national network as well. I'm looking forward to picking up a Renault ZOE from Renault UK in a few weeks' time, driving from my Ynys Môn constituency the 200 miles to my Cardiff workplace. It'll be interesting because, as far as I can see, there are no rapid-charge points between Anglesey and Cardiff. So, it'll be an interesting journey. But that has to change. So, we need to retrofit installations at strategic points, but installations at new developments for public use dotted around Wales can form part of a new national network. 

Now, on funding, I think there should be an element of public funding, perhaps public loans available for installation, certainly in the most strategic places. Plaid Cymru recently negotiated £2 million for this in the last budget deal. At least it's a start. If you look at the number of publicly funded charge points in the UK now, I think the north-east of England is top of the league with one charge point publicly funded per 4,000 inhabitants; Scotland one for every 7,000 people. Wales, according to HSBC figures recently, had one publicly funded charge point per 99,000 people. It's not good enough. But the focus today isn't on funding, it's on building charging networks into our environment. We'll hear from Welsh Government today, I'm sure, that they're already consulting on new planning guidelines, rather than legislation, but we need to be sure that this drive towards EVs is backed by whatever it takes to make it happen.

I don't need to rehearse the environmental arguments, I don't think—the issues of air pollution and climate change. Hopefully, I don't need to persuade you that, for many good reasons, EVs are coming. This isn't about just making sure Wales is ready when the inevitable happens, but about seeing if we can get Wales to embrace that future now, and I look forward to your contributions. Thank you.
