Follow-on from FOI-0365-2324
The data from 6th Feb is really out of date (over 4 months) and particularly given the strong uptick in PHV numbers and the transition to ZEC EV's, which is a strong public policy matter and of huge importance/interest to the public.
The FOI was specific that it was important the data was up-to-date and after the 1st May. Would it be possible to run the data now?
