Abstract
We introduce additional Higgs fields with charged vacuum expectation values to break
the conservation of electric charge. However the phenomenology of such models is
very strongly constrained and limits such theories to regions of the parameter space
that are already well explored. The main obstacle turns out to be the emergence of a
photon rest mass, further studies would need to find a way of dealing this with this to
have a reasonable prospect of success.
