Source London passes one million hours of EV charging

Electric vehicle chargepoint provider Source London said its network has now delivered over one million hours of charging to customers. 

Operated by the Bolloré Group since September 2014, Source London has 11,000 active subscribers and 1,200 charging points across 23 boroughs (two-thirds of London). 

Source London said its client base encompasses both private customers and professionals such as taxi and minicab operators.

The network has formed collaborations with the London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC), the leading electric taxi manufacturer and the Licensed Private Hire Car Association (LPHCA), the trade association representing Licensed Private Hire Operators throughout UK. 

In September, Source London partnered with Allstar Business Solutions, a fuel management company, to enable customers of Allstar’s new electric vehicle (EV) charging payment solution, the Allstar One Electric card, to charge on Source London’s network. 

Source London is working with SSE Enterprise, which sponsors the chargepoint installations. Through its partnership with SSE Business Energy, the Source London network is powered by 100% clean and renewable energy sourced exclusively from either wind or hydro. 

Christophe Arnaud, Source London managing director, said: “A million hours of charging is a considerable milestone and really emphasises just how far Source London has come. Nevertheless, there is still some way to go and Londoners’ thirst for EV infrastructure is only growing. Source London is working tirelessly to further the roll out of our network across the capital as without the infrastructure to support them, EVs simply cannot flourish.”
