The Government will soon lay the regulations to improve the consumer experience at public electric vehicle chargepoints across the UK. Subject to progress made in Parliament, the regulations will mandate a pricing metric using pence per kilowatt hour (p/kWh) to ensure price transparency. This should make it easier for consumers to compare prices across the different charging networks in the UK.
