The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) responded to OZEV's consultation on the Rapid Charging Fund, emphasizing the lack of competition in en-route charging, especially along motorways. The CMA recommended attaching conditions to the funding to promote competition at motorway services. This response aims to support OZEV in implementing the CMA's suggestions. The key legal issues at stake involve competition law and regulatory compliance, with a focus on promoting market competition in the electric vehicle charging sector. The directly affected businesses include electric vehicle charging operators and motorway service providers. Other companies in the electric vehicle industry may also be impacted by increased competition requirements.
