Abstract
A spontaneous charge-symmetry-breaking model is proposed in the framework of theory with two doublet and one singlet Higgs bosons. In this model, the electron neutrino has a minicharge which is essentially different from the neutron charge. The model contains a mechanism to keep the photon mass very small. The present experimental bounds on these charges are also discussed.
