    There was plenty of demand when fuel prices shot up a few years ago, but since then, unless you have access to off street parking and your own charger, it’s become more expensive to drive an EV than a combustion car.

    When the price of oil goes up the government falls over itself to subsidise and bring it back down. When the price of energy goes up they shrug their shoulders and slap 20% VAT on public chargers. It’s insane and hardly any surprise that demand has “flagged”.
