00:00Yes, I would, and as long as Elon Musk wasn't involved, I would definitely get involved.

00:04Yes, I would. The only problem for that is just that the vehicles themselves are a lot more expensive.

00:10If they were the same price as normal vehicles, I would buy one tomorrow.

00:15Do you drive yourself?

00:16I do.

00:17And what do you drive?

00:18I drive a kind of old car, but my next car is my bus pass next year when I hit 60.

00:24I would. I've seen them pop up quite a lot more, even here.

00:27Outside my flat, there's a series of charging points, which kind of make it a lot more accessible.

00:33But yeah, there has to be more infrastructure, and that's just not there.

00:36And again, you need to be looking at grants and affordability.

00:39It's the buying and transferring from petrol to electric.

00:42Yeah, I agree.

00:44I don't have a car, but if I could afford one, then yeah.

00:48Yeah, would you go for electric vehicles?

00:51Yeah, if the opportunity was there, I would go for an electric vehicle,

00:54and maybe a hybrid at least.
