Source partners with Last Mile Solutions

Source partners with Last Mile Solutions to simplify EV charging for European visitors.

Innovative new charging company Source has announced a partnership with Last Mile Solutions, Europe's leading EV charging and energy transaction management platform provider, to make EV charging significantly easier for European visitors to the UK. 

The partnership enables European EV drivers to use their existing charge cards at Source's ultra-rapid charging hubs without needing to set up new accounts or payment methods. This eliminates common charging frustrations including app downloads, account setup, and unfamiliar payment processes, with Source's contactless payment systems and real-time availability updates ensuring a consistent experience regardless of the driver's home country. 

With millions of European visitors to the UK annually - including 3.2 million from France and 3 million from Germany in 2023 - and growing numbers choosing electric vehicles for travel, the collaboration addresses a key barrier to cross-border electric travel. Last Mile Solutions offers Europe’s widest charging network with over 1.1 million stations connected to their platform.

Alice Aprile-Smith, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Source, said: “Source is committed to building the UK and Ireland's most reliable charging network, and that means serving all drivers who need us - whether they're UK fleet operators or European visitors. This partnership demonstrates our data-driven approach to site selection and customer needs. We're not just building charge points, we're building confidence. A driver from Amsterdam can now charge at our Pompey Centre hub in Portsmouth using exactly the same card they use at home.”

The partnership also delivers significant operational benefits for UK fleet managers. Companies with vehicles travelling to Europe can now access charging networks across 22 countries through a single relationship with Source, while domestic operations benefit from simplified billing and automated home charging reimbursements. 

Alice Aprile-Smith added: “Fleet operators tell us they want operational simplicity without compromising on reliability. This partnership delivers exactly that - one relationship, one bill, but with access to our comprehensive monitoring and the peace of mind that comes from our enhanced service level agreements. We're extending our stress-free charging experience across borders while maintaining the safety and accessibility standards that recently earned us a 4.32 ChargeSafe rating at our Ocean Terminal site in Edinburgh.” 

Last Mile Solutions offers Europe's leading platform for EV charging transaction management, processing over 3.5 million charging sessions monthly across Europe and managing 1.3 million active charge cards. The partnership allows Source to tap into Last Mile Solutions’ established network while maintaining its premium standards, including 99%+ uptime targets and comprehensive site monitoring. 

Martina Raschi, Last Mile Solutions’ Head of Roaming and Partnerships added: “The UK is a key market for Last Mile Solutions, and that’s why partnering with Source is such an exciting step for us. We expanded our operations to the UK last autumn, and we’re excited to expand our presence there more. With access to over 1.1 million charge points across Europe through our platform, we make sure that EV charging becomes more accessible to all drivers and that our Partners have a network to grow their business.” 

The collaboration supports Source's expansion plans toward 300 charging hubs by 2030, targeting 20% market share in the ultra-rapid charging sector. Source's ultra-rapid 160kW chargers are designed to accommodate both domestic and international drivers.
