The Department for Transport (DfT) announced on Monday 15 July that it wants to see all newly installed rapid and higher powered chargepoints provide debit or credit card payment by spring 2020. Future of Mobility Minister Michael Ellis said: “It is crucial there are easy payment methods available to improve electric vehicle drivers’ experiences and give drivers choice. This will help even more people enjoy the benefits electric vehicles bring and speed up our journey to a zero-emission future.
