The Government has launched its promised review into the cost of public charging for electric vehicles addressing one of the key stumbling blocks for EV adoption. 

 

Rising charge costs for anyone not able to plug in at home are increasingly cited as a blocker, with ChargeUK reporting a 38 per cent rise in public cost since 2021. The review, promised in the 2025 Budget statement, will look into how costs might rise in the future without intervention across the spectrum of low-speed on-street charging, destination charging and high-powered en route chargers.
