A new partnership between charging company Source and an energy supplier promises to expand access to ultra-rapid charging hubs for electric fleet operators.

Source said its collaboration with OVO addressed “key pain points” that focused on reliable charging infrastructure and simplified billing.

Its roaming partnership enables OVO customers using the OVO Charge app to charge at Source’s ultra-rapid hubs using their existing app or card, with no additional setup required.

It enables fleet managers and drivers to access Source’s premium charging infrastructure through OVO’s platform, which already provides access to over 50,000 charging points across the UK.

Source added that it planned to open 300 ultra-rapid charging hubs across the UK and Ireland over the next five years.

Alice Aprile-Smith, Source head of partnerships and business development, said: “This partnership with OVO demonstrates our commitment to making ultra-rapid charging accessible to all drivers.

“By integrating with OVO’s established platform, we’re removing barriers and ensuring more drivers can experience Source’s stress-free charging.

“Whether it’s a fleet manager tracking costs through one monthly invoice or a taxi driver needing reliable rapid charging, this partnership delivers the accessibility and convenience that drives EV adoption.”
