“Anyone using the public network will now have to pay more, but critically, the rise in costs will reduce EV take-up at a crucial time.
“Decoupling the wholesale price of gas from electricity from cheaper renewable sources would help everyone by lowering electricity prices. Those lower energy costs will also impact inflation and interest rates.
