Closed 374 signatures

What the petition asks

With use of electric vehicles on a rise simple to use charging network is essential. Currently there is no standardised method of payment. Some suppliers requiring drivers subscriptions, or installation of online app. This forces drivers to be subscribed to multiple suppliers and face extra cost.
Rapid charge networks should be as accessible to drivers as petrol station are. By forcing standardised payments method , we can ensure electric vehicles chargers are accessible. This reduces extra unnecessary cost to electric car owners. Drivers are not taken advantage off by limited choices they are currently facing.

It is in our best interest to ensure electric cars are viable and painless option to choose as your new vehicle.
