Public charging points cost a premium compared to charging e-cars at home
(Picture: PA Wire)Many Londoners are paying premium rates to charge electric cars because they rely on public charging points, it has emerged.
Lib Dem transport spokeswoman Sarah Olney said drivers using on-street chargers had to pay 20 per cent VAT on the cost of electricity, rather than five per cent if they plugged-in from a drive or garage at home.
