Legislate now - Put a cap Electric Vehicle Charges

Electric vehicle charging has become big businesses latest way to profiteer from the British public.  Prices as high as £1.39 per kWH!

Prices for the highest speed chargers should be capped at 50 pence per kWH.  Big buyers of electricity are likely paying less that 25 pence per kWH, so 100% profit on the supply seems more than reasonable.

We ask that the government put a cap on the price chargeable to further encourage the use of electric vehicle.

Why is this important?

The cost to charge an electric vehicle on the UK road system is often as high as filling a vehicle with fossil fuels, this is no encouragement to make the switch.  There is clear profiteering from the big players and this needs to be capped.
