TotalEnergies and SSE got together to create brand-new player in EV charging systems. The company, named Source, will be active in UK and Ireland. The joint venture has the target to deploy in both countries up to 3000 high power (of 150 kW and more) charge points, meeting demand from EV and fleet owners to provide fast and reliable charging.
