Read the original article on express.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Daily Express reports a warning from the electric-vehicle newsletter The Fast Charge and the charging operator Zest that rising network fees could push some public rapid charger prices above £1 per kWh in 2027, and it gives Ofgem's reply. The headline turns that forecast into a "new £1 rule" starting next year, which the body never describes.

“issued new £1 rule warning – from next year”
How we know
“a report by the electric-vehicle newsletter The Fast Charge and the charging operator Zest has warned”
The article names who makes the price forecast and says what kind of organisation each one is, so the reader knows the warning comes from an industry newsletter and a charging operator.
“The issue dates back to changes introduced by energy regulator Ofgem in 2022, which altered how businesses pay certain charges for using the electricity network.”
The article explains the actual mechanism behind the higher prices, fixed network fees, rather than blaming electric cars or climate policy in general.
“We are considering the findings of the independent review carefully, including whether any changes may be needed.”
The article gives the regulator's full reply in its own words alongside the critics and the independent Government review.
