The core themes

摘要

The DfT and OZEV consultation sets out four key ambitions: Making it easy to pay. Consumers should be able to charge their vehicle and pay with ease, as they would for any other service. There should be a minimum standard for payment across all chargepoints, which does not rely on the use of a smartphone. The DfT and OZEV are seeking views on the best way to achieve this that meets consumers' needs and is commercially viable. Consumers should be able to rely on their chosen payment method, whether they are making a short or long journey. Implementing roaming across networks means consumers can access all public chargepoints with one membership card or smartphone app.
