As a person living on the second floor of a block of flats what are my options for charging point installation if I wanted an EV?

I think their hands are tied somewhat - they can't influence the wholesale price of gas. The price cap DID protect consumers at the expense of a bunch of energy resellers that went bust because they had to sell their energy for considerably less than they had to pay for it.Ofgem are a joke, their entire purpose is to regulate the market to protect consumers, yet all they have been doing is regulate the market in the interest of protecting those energy suppliers and not caring about the consumer at all.
Who on earth is going to be able to afford these insane price hikes, are we going to end up in a situation where a large portion of the country are in energy debt, with CCJs flying around left and right as these companies desperately try to get their money back.
If something doesn't happen soon, this is going to have a profound impact on the economy, even worse than the whole covid thing.

This current state of affairs isn't what the cap was designed for. It was put there to prevent firms from overcharging people who never switch and therefore sit on a supplier's variable tariff. People who switched regularly were always on better deals. It's not designed for the mess we're in now really.understand that the cap is in place so that energy prices do not sky rocket beyond the means of many people
I'm just glad we are out of the EU at this point. If we were in there would be plenty of morons blaming the EU right now when Farage and DM headlines say its Frances fault for the nukes being offline or some such rubbish
Another useless rant. When the UK is currently pulling the EU's chestnuts out of the fire to the tune of 75 million cubic metres of gas per day exported to Belgium and Holland, it is the useless British Government doing it.
The useless British government doing more than Labour said it would do for the worst off in our society and will do so again.
It is a global issue of supply and demand. The EU is as powerless as every other nation in the world and it shows. Where is the powerhouse negotiation on energy prices? Where the solidarity amongst nation states? Why is Germany opening coal mines again and Poland never closed?
The only mistake the EU made as a whole was relying on cheap Russian gas, they were warned about it many times over multiple years but they chose to ignore the advice given (mainly because of who gave it).
Exports are from the National Grid but never mind. Government permission was sought and given. I do not know how it works monetarily though. It may not be if winter gets tough.Lol honestly
The UK government are exporting gas, damn i thought it was the energy companies
Whats it got to do with Labour?
Sounds like another triggered Brexiter.
Just one question if I may. Could you give a brief summary of the Brexit benefits so far? Something tangible would be nice and not something that may come in the far flung future.Exports are from the National Grid but never mind. Government permission was sought and given. I do not know how it works monetarily though. It may not be if winter gets tough.
Labour was mentioned as a comparison with how much the government are helping households in need. There is always more to do however. Perhaps if we had not sacked Boris...
Triggered I am not, glad to have left, I am.
