This ruling, which recognized that HMRC has been overcharging for years, would have provided substantial relief to the 40% of UK drivers who do not have access to private driveways and rely on public charging points. The case was brought forward by Charge My Street, which successfully argued the lower VAT rate should apply, reflecting electricity as an essential service.
