I think the problem is that companies like Gridserve invested vast amounts into getting a good infrastructure built and need a return on that. Thus 80p rates. I don’t think anyone’s thinking about some form of price war just yet but when competition is price based rather than the convenience of the locations then pricing will drop like the proverbial hot spud.
I know there’s talk about VAT but the more realistic and complete solution will be dealing with the country’s electricity market in its entirety. While we’re all paying the most expensive rates and corporate rates are worse, public charging won’t be cheap.

I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
