    Fast charge is an in case you need it option, it’s more expensive than regular charging.

      Are you suggesting that the solution is to use slow public chargers? Because the average EV needs to stay on a 7kWh charger for 10 hours, so you need to live really close to one or have sleeping bag in the back seat. Even then they are 18p per mile so 5p more than petrol.

      Not everyone has a driveway or garage they can use to charge from home, this policy creates a system where the wealthy can drive for very little, and the poor have to pay a lot more.
