I wouldn't say that our research and analysis really goes into the politics of any of this. I would say that one major factor that influences our forecasts of where this market is going is awareness and understanding of these technologies. In general, you find that consumers aren't really aware of the fact, for example, that it costs about $5 to charge up, and you can do this at home, provided you have a driveway. We do think that awareness of these solutions is part of the problem.
It is telling that there are a number of government-funded education awareness initiatives. There does seem to be a lack of this kind of information coming from the folks who make these products in many cases. I do think that that's probably one of the big pieces of the puzzle. If you ask anybody who's actually driven an EV.... I live in a rural area. My neighbour is a hunter. He's a carpenter. He drives an EV. He's very happy with that. I think there's a clear sign that folks who actually give this technology a chance find it actually really convenient and very affordable.
