Govt schemes are nudging families towards gas - not cleaner, electric options.
💥 The ‘spark gap’ - difference between electricity & gas prices - is the highest in 2 years
⚡ Electricity is 4.19x more expensive than gas
We’re penalising people for going green.

🌍 The road ahead:
We must:
🔋 Electrify vans & HGVs faster
💡 Expand smart charging
📉 Help households cut charging costs
The momentum is real - let’s keep driving it forward.
For people. For the economy. For the planet.

⚠️ What’s holding us back?
⚠️ Just 1% of HGVs are electric
⚠️ Vans are also lagging
⚠️ Only 49% of home chargers use smart tariffs
⚠️ Smart levy reform could save EV households £64/year

What’s holding heat pumps back?
1️⃣ Gov’t schemes like ECO still fund 2x more gas boilers than clean heat
2️⃣ Electricity costs ~4x more than gas
The result? Clean heat looks expensive - because it is. Policy isn’t matching uptake goals.
