The largest city-wide electric point recharging network, comprising 150 new charge points operating under a single scheme - Source London - has been launched by the Mayor, Boris Johnson.
The network has significantly boosted existing numbers of charge points operated by a range of different localised schemes. By 2013, Source London says it will total at least 1,300 charge points, more than the number of petrol stations currently in London.
Annual membership of Source London is £100, enabling card holders to charge up at any of the network of charging points as many times as required. Charge points are located on streets and in car parks and are consistently branded. Users simply touch their membership card to the reader on the charge point and then plug in their vehicle to charge.
Source London is also working with other regions to help drive the creation of a UK-wide charge point network. Plans to enable members to use both Source London and the soon to be launched East of England charge point network are currently underway.
Registration for Source London is now open via the associated link. Anyone who owns an electric vehicle is eligible to register. Siemens is also providing a contact centre that will support Source London’s electric vehicle drivers.
