Why throw more money in the ring, hoping it will attract new buyers, when there’s little evidence that the recent grant scheme as attracted new buyers?
Surely the best way to go, is by natural migration and allowing the network to grow around that, as it expands. I find people dig their heels in if pushed to often and it backfires.
I’d be surprised to see pay per mile in this budget as it would be counter productive alongside ploughing more money into the ecosystem. Mind you, I thought the same when VED was mentined.
I often find when it comes to reporting EV sales, its nearly always based on monthly sales as a percentage percentage. I’ve never understood why they do this and not quote the overall market share percent, which isn’t a secret and easily got from the SMMT.
The other thing that annoys me, is with Zapmap and the quoting of total charging points available, rather than a breakdown of the number of 7, 22. 50, 100-200, 200-300 chargers available.
It comes across as hiding something!
