But, yes, we absolutely hear what you're saying. Huw, you wanted to come in, and then we'll come to Joyce just for a couple of final questions.

Okay, yes, Neil, this whole thing about renewable energy generation, storage, plugging your EV into it, particularly for rural areas, is something I'd imagine you've been grappling with for years.
