The journalist and electric vehicle campaigner Quentin Willson has said he is “staggered” after the Government did not cut VAT for EV charging in the budget.

He explained: "FairCharge is staggered that the Chancellor is prepared to spend £5billion on a fuel duty freeze and continuation of the 5p cut, yet won’t spend 125th of that - circa £40million - on cutting the VAT on public EV charging.

“Why wouldn’t you support a drive for cleaner air in our towns and cities? Might it have something to do with an election, we wonder.”
