A poll of more than 8,200 drivers has found widespread support for green signs pointing to public EV charging locations and pricing displays similar to fuel stations.

I'm in agreement with this, it would massively help show the differences between charging prices at locations close together.

For example, near to where I live is a Waitrose supermarket with Shell chargers, they're priced at 90p per kWh, 100 metres up the road is a Tesla supercharger that's priced at 46p per kWh at peak times. I often wonder why people are using the Shell chargers instead of the Tesla chargers!! (I am aware that not all EVs can use a Tesla supercharger, but if they're charging up at a Shell rapid charger, i.e. using CCS2, then they can use a Tesla supercharger!)
