Source partners with Radius to expand EV charging access for UK fleet drivers
EV charging provider Source has partnered with business mobility provider Radius to give Radius cardholders access to Source's DC fast charging hubs across the UK and Ireland. Radius customers, with 500,000 cards in circulation, can now charge at Source hubs using existing RFID cards, with costs consolidated through Radius's Velocity management platform. Source plans to open 300 fast EV charging hubs across the UK and Ireland by 2030, with all chargers delivering at least 150 kW of power and powered by renewable energy using technology from TotalEnergies and infrastructure from SSE.
Why it matters
The partnership expands fleet access to high power charging infrastructure without requiring new accounts or apps, addressing a key barrier to commercial EV adoption. Source's 300 hub rollout target by 2030 represents significant procurement opportunity for charge point operators and fleet managers seeking consolidated billing solutions.
UK EV charging sector valued at £385 billion as infrastructure shifts from rollout to critical status
EVBoosters reports that the UK electric vehicle charging market now represents a £385 billion opportunity, marking a transition from initial deployment to recognition as critical national infrastructure. The valuation reflects the sector's maturation as charging networks move beyond early rollout phases. The report positions the UK market as entering a new phase where charging infrastructure is treated with the same strategic importance as other essential utilities.
Why it matters
The £385 billion valuation signals increased institutional investment and procurement activity as charging infrastructure gains critical infrastructure status, likely triggering new funding mechanisms and regulatory frameworks. For charge point operators and contractors, this reclassification may open access to infrastructure grade financing and long term public sector contracts previously reserved for utilities.
