Petition Make all Electric Vehicle Charging Points accept contactless payment.

In order to increase the wide adoption of fully Electric Vehicles, make all charging points accept contactless payments and ban mandatory sign up requirements for their use.

More details

One of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle(EV) adoption is the need to sign-up to several pre-payment apps in order to use the charging networks.

While the private sector is an important part of the EV networks future, their excessive range of RFID cards, apps and websites make their use frustrating.

I am asking that all public charging points are made to accept contactless/Card payments and that mandatory sign-up is banned.

What are Westminster Hall debates?

Westminster Hall is the second Chamber of the House of Commons.

Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to raise local or national issues and receive a response from a government minister. Any MP can take part in a Westminster Hall debate.

Debates in Westminster Hall take place on ‘general debate' motions expressed in neutral terms. These motions are worded ‘That this House has considered [a specific matter]'.
