> Residents will need to pay an application fee of £108 and if their application is successful, they will pay a further £1,251 for construction costs and a licence for the first year. That works out significantly cheaper for the average electric car user compared to the cost of using 3rd-party chargers.

License for the first year, which means license for the future. An awesome money grab by local governments.

Nice, I'm always a fan of a well planned grift.
