UK Government Explores Allowing Home Energy Tariffs at Public EV Chargers

The UK Department for Transport is establishing a taskforce to pilot programs allowing electric vehicle drivers to access their domestic electricity rates at low-speed public street chargers. Backed by £100 million in Treasury funding starting in 2027, the initiative aims to bridge the pricing divide for drivers without access to private driveways. The effort focuses strictly on local AC charging points and excludes DC fast-charging networks.
