Andy Burnham hands 16p per mile charges plan to households without driveways
Home Charging Benefits: VAT on domestic electricity will drop to 0% from October 1, reducing EV home charging costs to as little as 1.52p per mile for households with driveways.
Public Charging Inequality: Drivers without off-street parking face 16–20p per mile due to 20% VAT on public chargers, making EV running costs comparable to petrol cars.
Industry Concerns: Experts warn the policy widens the gap between home and public charging, potentially hindering EV adoption among lower-income households and calling for VAT equalization.
