None of the UK’s 112 rapid charging points on major roads can get a sign due to strict government rules over hot food and free parking.
Ginny Buckley, the chief executive of electrifying.com, an electric car buying and advice site, said: “This ridiculous piece of legislation shows just how out of touch the government is with the way people actually drive electric cars. I don’t know a single EV driver who plans their route around whether a charging hub offers hot food and two hours of free parking — they plan around charging speed, location and cost.”
