Anyone got much experience with Source London as a charging network? A lot of the chat online seems to be from a few years ago.
I don't have off street parking so my charging strategy is going to be a mix of Superchargers when travelling out of London (to my in-laws every week or two) and local network chargers. The networks around me are predominantly Source and Ubitricity.
I know Source has a reputation for being expensive, but the 4 hour night-time caps seems to make it into a more compelling proposition and I wanted to check my understanding was correct.
Rates
An 11 hour overnight charge from 8pm-7am is capped at four hours' fees. Which at 3.6p per minute makes £8.64. £8.64 for 11 hours at 7.4kwh is 10.6p/kwh - which is pretty competitive for a public charge point no?
I do need to do some investigating as to how often my local Source charger is occupied at night with people with the same idea.
Obviously there is the £4 monthly membership fee, but it pays for itself in one overnight charge as against the pay-as-you-go and flexi rates. Source appears to also have the benefit of good London-wide coverage and free parking at prime locations, so perhaps it's not such a bad deal afterall?
Any thoughts/experiences with Source very much appreciated.
