- Recently-launched UK and Ireland CPO Source has expanded its potential customer base further, joining the Octopus Electroverse roaming service.
- Source’s public charging points will join the one million-plus chargers already available through Octopus Electroverse, which already includes other CPOs such as IONITY, Fastned, and Mer.
- As Source continues to expand its public EV charging footprint, the Octopus Electroverse partnership will allow for easy user access to its growing network.
Source joins the Octopus Electroverse network
Under the new agreement, Octopus Electroverse users will be able to locate Source’s numerous ultra-rapid EV charging hubs directly through the Electroverse app, and also start and pay for charging sessions directly through the app.
Despite only launching its first charging hub earlier this year, in Edinburgh, Source has strong expansion plans. By 2030, it’s looking to deliver 300 new ultra-rapid charging hubs across both the UK and Ireland.
It’s not the first roaming partner that Source has teamed up with. Earlier this summer, it also partnered with business EV charge card firm Paua, allowing fleet drivers to pay for Source charging sessions directly through their Paua card.
Alice Aprile-Smith, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Source, commented:
“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, added:
“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.”
