Source partners with OVO to expand ultra-rapid charging access for UK drivers

Innovative new charging company Source has announced a partnership with OVO, expanding access to Source's ultra-rapid charging hubs for thousands of EV drivers and fleet operators across the UK.   

The roaming partnership enables OVO’s 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. Fleet managers and drivers can now access Source's premium charging infrastructure through OVO's established platform, which already provides access to over 50,000 charging points across the UK.   

Source plans to open 300 ultra-rapid charging hubs across the UK and Ireland over the next five years, promising to make them smarter, faster, and truly customer centric. Most Source hubs feature 150kW chargers, allowing drivers to add approximately 100 miles of range in around 15 minutes for most vehicles. The partnership ensures OVO’s customer base can access Source's premium charging experience.   

The collaboration addresses key pain points for drivers who need reliable charging infrastructure with simplified billing. OVO customers benefit from Source's commitment to 99%+ uptime targets, comprehensive AI-powered monitoring, and enhanced service level agreements that deliver faster resolution times than most competitors.   

Alice Aprile-Smith, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Source 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.”   

Alex Thwaites, Director of Electric Vehicles, OVO said:  

“Partnering with Source means our customers can enjoy faster charging without changing their charging habits. By adding Source’s premium ultra-rapid hubs to the OVO Charge network, we’re giving drivers even greater access to reliable, high-speed charge points across the UK.”   

The partnership supports Source's expansion plans toward capturing 20% of the UK and Ireland's ultra-rapid charging market. Source's strategically located hubs are designed with customer satisfaction in mind, featuring easy-to-use interfaces, real-time availability updates, and comprehensive security monitoring.
