Source launches rewards scheme, giving PHV drivers points on every charge

EV charging network Source has launched a rewards scheme that will give private hire drivers points every time they charge. The Source Rewards programme uses a loyalty programme called PowerGoodies, which lets drivers turn charging into vouchers for Tesco, Costa, Asda, Sainsbury’s and other retailers.

Under the scheme, every kWh charged at a Source hub earns two points, worth roughly a £5 voucher for every 15 charging sessions. For high-mileage fleet and private hire drivers, that could be a significant saving over 12 months.

Fleets can link their existing charging card, a SourceConnect RFID card, a fleet card or a roaming partner card, into the free PowerGoodies app, with no change to how drivers charge. Points build automatically and can be redeemed for vouchers.

The launch marks PowerGoodies’ first partnership in the UK, following existing rewards schemes with EV charging networks in Europe. “Drivers in the Netherlands and Belgium have shown us that a public charge feels different when it gives something back,” said Jan van Ottele, CEO of PowerGoodies. “Source is building a fast, reliable network designed around the driver, and it’s the right partner to bring PowerGoodies to British roads.”

Source is backed by SSE and TotalEnergies, and operates ultra-rapid hubs across the UK and Ireland, with a target of 300 ultra-rapid hubs by 2030. The network uses 150kW chargers as standard. The network is powered by renewable energy, backed by a 99%+ uptime target and continuous monitoring, as Source works towards 

Source Rewards is live at every Source hub in the UK from launch, with new hubs joining the programme automatically as they open.
