Reduce VAT on public electric vehicle charging to 5% in line with home charging

Closed 62 signatures

What the petition asks

Reduce VAT on public vehicle charging to 5% inline with home charging so people without home/off street parking are not penalized. I think it would accelerate the potential of electric vehicle take up.
I would like the government to realise those without off street parking and a place to charge at home need help to switch over to electric vehicles, not with grants for buying new!
