Summary
The UK governments plan to cut VAT on public electric car chargers from 20% to 5% has been rejected, sparking controversy. Critics argue this pavement tax disadvantages city dwellers without home charging options. The Treasurys decision contradicts a March tax tribunal ruling and comes amidst other EV-related policies facing criticism. The government maintains commitment to the EV transition, with a review on public charging costs upcoming this autumn. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
