What the petition asks
In order to increase the wide adoption of fully Electric Vehicles, make all charging points accept contactless payments and ban mandatory sign up requirements for their use.
One of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle(EV) adoption is the need to sign-up to several pre-payment apps in order to use the charging networks.
While the private sector is an important part of the EV networks future, their excessive range of RFID cards, apps and websites make their use frustrating.
I am asking that all public charging points are made to accept contactless/Card payments and that mandatory sign-up is banned.
