Scaling back heat-pump grants, weakening support for the poorest homes, and penalising EVs risks locking the UK into a high-cost, gas-dependent system.
⚡ Electrification cuts bills
⚡ Gas stays artificially cheap
Put bill-payers first.

Scrapping green subsidies is short-termist sabotage – and as usual the consumer will pay | Camilla Born
Weaning ourselves off gas is the only way to reduce energy bills long term. Cutting support for this is exactly the ‘sticking-plaster politics’ Labour promised to end, says CEO of Electrify Britain Ca...

So while the new funding is welcome, it’s not yet a guarantee of access to the best electric cars - or the reliable charging network the UK urgently needs.
As ever, the devil is in the detail.
We’ll be watching the Budget closely.

A big issue? Levy reform.
Government inaction means consumers still can’t fully cash in on going electric.
Our tracker shows rebalancing levies alone could save EV drivers £64 a year - money families should be keeping.

There is plenty to celebrate:
🚗 1 in 5 new cars sold is electric
🔌 5.2k public chargers added in Q2 2025 73% up on Q1
But our State of Electrification tracker shows adoption isn’t yet transforming everyone’s experience.

One rumour causing concern? A pay-per-mile tax.
Charging EV drivers 3p per mile to replace falling fuel-duty revenue might sound simple, but a clumsy rollout could slow the shift to electric.
Done well, it could work - but done badly, it undercuts progress.

Govt schemes are nudging families towards gas - not cleaner, electric options.
💥 The ‘spark gap’ - difference between electricity & gas prices - is the highest in 2 years
⚡ Electricity is 4.19x more expensive than gas
We’re penalising people for going green.

🌍 The road ahead:
We must:
🔋 Electrify vans & HGVs faster
💡 Expand smart charging
📉 Help households cut charging costs
The momentum is real - let’s keep driving it forward.
For people. For the economy. For the planet.

⚠️ What’s holding us back?
⚠️ Just 1% of HGVs are electric
⚠️ Vans are also lagging
⚠️ Only 49% of home chargers use smart tariffs
⚠️ Smart levy reform could save EV households £64/year
