Smart Green Shipping’s CEO, Diane Gilpin, says, “Without making real tangible changes at the Spring Budget, I worry that the government will miss out on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transition to a clean, green, cheaper economy – which will be to the detriment of everyone. So far there has been speculation about the Chancellor announcing VAT relief on EV charging. This would be a small win, but it feels more like box-ticking than anything that’s going to have a huge impact on the climate crisis we’re facing today.”
