UK House Builders Don't Like 'Greens'

It's unsurprising that the British housing stock is so poorly insulated. UK house builders have routinuely resisted attempts to improve the standards of new-build houses. These same companies (many of whom have also made major financial contributions to the current ruling party), have vigorously lobbied against a government plan to install electric car chargers in each new-build (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/12/housebuilders-lobbied-against-plan-for-electric-car-chargers-in-new-homes-in-england). Installing a charger in each new-build home, was thought essential to encourage the uptake of electric cars. This was seen as fundamental in drives to a) reduce UK 'greenhouse gas' emissions and b) improve city air quality. The house builders raised a whole plethora of objections. Technology might change. The sockets might not fit all models of cars. People might electrocute themselves (ignoring the fact, that they could already do this in other parts of the house). Some weirdly suggested that house owners might not use their chargers. The could prefer to a) search for a vacant charging point and b) recharge more expensively (electricity costs less and night), whilst visiting their gym. Surely, the real reason for their resistance is that most UK house builders don't want mandated energy-efficient changes in their products. They are only concerned to maximise their substantial profits. Builders are unconcerned by the fact that retro-fitting energy efficiency is much more expensive.
