flag UK ministers pressured to cut EV charging taxes and costs amid rising prices and inequity.

flag UK ministers face mounting pressure to freeze fuel duty and reduce VAT on public EV charging from 20% to 5% amid rising fuel prices and growing inequities. flag Drivers without driveways pay up to 18p per mile at public chargers—far more than the 2p per mile for home charging—due to higher taxes. flag With 1.8 million EVs on UK roads and fuel duty set to rise in August 2026, advocates warn that without reform, public charging remains unaffordable and unfair. flag Shell also urges new incentives like free parking, bus lane access, and expanded grants to boost EV adoption, as current sales lag behind the 2026 target.
