The only reason this can make rational sense is if there’s already a higher tax on gas cars and parking so everyone went EV.
I mean it’s still not that rational but it falls under the cable tv rules (no ads! Ads to stop rate increases! Rate increases anyway! More ads!)
Last I heard Brits elected their officials. So if they don’t like what the officials do vote for someone other than the envirowacko socialist.
I believe in this case, paying higher “parking charge” for EV owners means EV’s quit getting free charging. If I understand it, until now the EV parkers were paying the same as ICE parkers even though the EV parkers were getting free charge too.
