Recommendation 26

The Department stated that it monitors the different prices charged by different networks, and models the costs of different charging behaviours, such as whether someone does all their charging overnight on a driveway or entirely on more expensive rapid charging on the public network.46 The Department has also made efforts to widen access to home charging rates for those that park on–street through issuing guidance around using gullies and other means to safely house cables across pavements.47 As the market is maturing, it is starting to see cheaper tariffs appear for consumers if they do things like cede control over when their vehicle charges.48 43 Qq 82, 84 44 Q 83 45 C&AG’s Report para 3.8 46 Qq 89–91 47 Q 97 48 Q 36 17
