In July 2024, SSE and TotalEnergies announced the creation of Source, a major new player in EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. With the joint ventures’ first branded ultra-rapid hub due to open in just a few weeks, the company tells us what we can expect from the new business.
L-Charge aims to accelerate the transition to an electric vehicle future through the deployment of their ultra-fast off-grid EV charging solutions, which use clean fuels such as LNG, Bio-LNG and green hydrogen for onboard power generation.

Kevin Welstead, Electric Vehicle Sector Director at SSE Energy Solutions, explains why action from local councils is essential to shift vehicles from petrol and diesel to electricity.
Dr Vincent Thornley, Managing Director of Fundamentals Ltd., explores who should pay to power electric vehicles as the market continues to evolve under the EV infrastructure strategy.
