A few reasons that might change soon:

1. Higher rate of VAT on fast chargers than at home charging

2. (Not) Allowing fast chargers to qualify for money ringfenced to encourage biofuels

3. Taxes intended to clean up energy that made sense when coal was used to generate most electricity which should now be rebalanced onto gas/petrol.

Also bear in mind that Russian warmongering escalated the gas price which increased the electricity price and only homes got the price cap protection.
