Eon joins calls for VAT reduction on public EV charging

Eon, The Renewable Energy Association and The RAC are among several organisations calling on the chancellor to slash VAT on public electric vehicle charging in the forthcoming budget. Current rules mean that VAT is levied at 20% on public EV charge points compared to 5% for private ones. An open letter to Jeremy Hunt, written by EV campaign group FairCharge founder Quentin Willson, describes the current VAT rules as an “unfair burden” on those without access to home charging.
