A new firm in EV infrastructure charging, Source, has partnered with platform Octopus Electroverse to ease access to its rapidly growing network of ultra-rapid charging hubs.
Users of Octopus Electroverse will now be able to locate Source’s UK-wide hubs on the Electroverse charging map. Source plans to deliver 300 new ultra-rapid hubs across the UK and Ireland by 2030, it said.
Source is partnering with roaming providers to allow customers to choose how to start a charge, and access a range of options that suits their needs.
Drivers can also use a Source hub by downloading the new SourceConnect app which allows users to locate available charge points in real time, start a Pay as You Go charge by scanning the QR code at the charger and track their charging session live within the app. New features under development include enhanced tools for fleet operators, and bay booking options.
Source hubs are powered by renewable energy with technology from TotalEnergies and the latest infrastructure from SSE.
Alice Aprile-Smith, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Source, said:
“This partnership is one of many we are working on signing to make it easy for drivers, fleet operators and taxis to use our superb charging hubs. We know that customers want a stress-free and simple charging experience and partnering with roaming providers such as Octopus Electroverse ensures customers have choice about how to charge.”
Matt Davies, Director at Octopus Electroverse, said:
“With every new charge point we add, we’re making sure the ever-growing number of EV drivers on UK roads always have a charger close by.
“At Electroverse, we’re proud to be building Europe’s largest consumer EV charging platform and to partner with charge point operators like Source, who share our passion for making charging simple and effortless for everyone.”
