source london

Occasionally I use Source London charge points, which, as many of you will know, are unusual as they bill by the minute rather than amount of electricity consumed. It so happens that totally coincidentally, my last two charges on their 22kW charge points were both exactly 45 minutes. Allowing...

When Bolloré started installing new charge points on their Source London network, they only ever installed IER units, which were all single vehicle serving, Type 1 (J1172) cable, or Type 2 socket. The Type 1 plug was limited to 16A, and only really put in because that was to make life easier for...

Hi, First post so apologies if it's a dumb question. I've searched the forums and read a lot of relevant posts but can't seem to find a definitive up to date answer to this. I'm getting my first PHEV next week. One of my regular journeys (once or twice a week) is to drive to Blackhorse Road...

Both Source London and Chargemaster have upped their tariffs for Central London on-street charging locations. Source London is now up to 12.9p/minute (if the charge point is capable of 22kW) in Camden,Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea. Polar Network has added electricity charges (the usual...

I’m one week into EV ownership and so far Source has been a source of disappointment for me. Charging costs are higher than local parking and you are charged even if you reach 100% capacity and aren’t drawing their juice. Maybe I shouldn’t complain about their pricing - it’s my choice to use...

Can anybody help? My PHEV charging cable is trapped in a Source London charging post that no longer belongs to Source London. So, they won't send an engineer to free it. Does anybody still have a Source London Charging Card I could loan to release my valuable charging cable? If you're in South...

New to EV And I've done a daft thing. I plugged my PHEV charging cable into the Source London charging point in the Sainsbury's car park in Dog Kennel Hill and it's locked in their because I don't have the membership card to unlock the cable. If anybody has a card and is going shopping tonight...

Spotted today: a Bolloré 'bluecity' rental car with a parking penalty ticket on a Source London Charge Point. This was in London Borough of Barnet, at a charge point where Barnet Council have a maximum stay restriction of 4 hours clearly signed at the charging bays. Of course, a car sharing...

First off this is possibly a London area specific issue so i'll apologise in advance. We took delivery of a Soul EV recently and everything has been fine, except for public charging. Specifically the issue of "legacy" chargers operated by Source London, how has this situation been allowed to...

So after less than a year to be exact 4 months into my £5 yearly subscription I get a email saying that it's due to expire December 31st 2016. And now expect to pay £4 per month and wait for it a further 3.6p per minute so on a 3kw you going to pay almost double based over 100mile more than...

I read this in the latest consultation document from DOT about ULEV support proposals. "Since 2013, OLEVfunded public chargepoints have been required to provide “pay as you go” functionality enabling ad hoc access by drivers who are not members of a network. This gives consumers confidence that...

Has anybody worked out what happens to the Source East posts following the new charges at Source London. I currently use my SL card in Watford to occasionally charge at a SE post. Do not do this often enough to pay £48 p.a. to SL tho. Has anybody any info on Source East or if a currently...

It seems that Hackney council have noticed that there's going to be demand for public EV charging, and they've deemed that no house in the borough should be more than 500 metres walk from a public charging point. That means there will almost be as many charging bays as bus stops. They'll...

and it's not cheap. summary: Monthly subscription fee: £4 plus pay-as-you-go 3.6p per minute = £0.32/kWh if you have a 6.6kW charger, or £0.64/kWh if you have a 3.3kW charger. not clear if 'pay as you go' means for non-members, or whether scheme members still have to pay for the per-minute...

It seems that Kensington and Chelsea have earmarked a load of new charging locations for Source London, which are now showing as 'Coming soon' on the Source London map. These aren't the sort of swap-out-working-posts-for-different-model upgrades that takes months to put live. Kensington and...

I was just wondering if Drive Now have reserved park and charge at public Source London charge points, A Drive Now BMW i3 has been sitting on charge for over 2 days hogging a charge point, when I check there app it says the i3 is at 97% and let's me reserve it? But I have not been able to use...

I've just received an invite to a Chargemaster 'Go London' hosted event at the Lanchester Hotel, on 21 Jan 16! The agenda looks interesting: Display of 8 electric cars from BMW, Tesla, Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi and VW What type of charging does my organisation need-...

Got an e-mail through today which also said: I think the 95% is based on the earlier quote:

First of all, it tells you off for plugging in ready, before you authenticate .. Then it tells you off for unplugging the car end first. .. and then it locks up, unable to be used by anyone else until the original user reconnects their cable, and taps their card again to end the session.

It looks like the first on-street charge points in the London Borough of Barnet have been installed. All the other charge points in the borough are on private property (supermarket / shopping centre / tube station car parks). These ones are two IER Source London charge points (type2 socket /...
