No standing charges would be a massive subsidy to the rich who own multiple ones. That’s why such tariffs were, with some exceptions, abolished a few years ago.

Keep it simple by charging a flat rate for usage like petrol. If the poorest need subsidies, target them directly.

Instead your solution is to *checks notes* subsidise the rich! *facepalm*
