Reduce VAT to 5% on public EV charging

Public EV charging carries a VAT rate of 20%. The UK Government are trying to reach net zero and I believe one way to help achieve this would be to reduce the VAT to 5% on public EV charging.

Many households who have or want an Electric Vehicle (EV) are left with no option but to use public charging as their household has no way to install a home charger, leaving them with the inflated prices of public charging.

Home energy is set at a VAT rate of only 5% and feel it is only fair that public charging networks are set at the same rate.
