Source London is a network of electric vehicle charging points in London. It is owned by IER. Charging points are located in residential streets, public car parks, at supermarkets, shopping centres and similar places. Use of a Source London branded charging point requires registration with the network's website and the payment of an annual fee of £10 per vehicle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=9 April 2013 )〕 Registered members are issued with a card that is swiped on the charging point's card reader to permit charging an unlimited number of times.〔 ==Backing and funding== First announced in November 2010 and launched on 27 May 2011 by London Mayor Boris Johnson, it is the first city-wide network in London〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mayor switches on new electric vehicle scheme - Source London )〕 and initially provides 150 charging points across the capital with plans to expand coverage to 1,300 charging points by 2013. Source London was originally a Transport for London-led consortium of public and private sector organizations. The IT infrastructure was developed by Siemens and the network is partly funded by Scottish and Southern Energy and National Car Parks. Other organisations involved include Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, Asda, Capital Shopping Centres, Sainsbury's, IKEA, Whittington Hospital, Enterprise Rent-a-Car and London Underground.〔 The Department for Transport provided £9.3 million 50% match funding for the development of the network's infrastructure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greater London Authority Group )〕 IER have taken over the management of the Source London charging network from Transport for London, since 1 September 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Source London website )〕 Most of the actual charge points are still owned by the boroughs, and it is still their responsibility to fix faults.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Twitter status update after IER takeover )〕 The expansion of the network will be achieved, in part, by integrating existing charging points previously operated independently by London Borough councils. At launch, 11 boroughs had installed or were planning to install Source London charging points, or were intending to upgrade their own charging points for integration into the network. Ten other boroughs had committed to the network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=London Local Authorities )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The charge point network for London )〕 Source London is working with the Department for Transport's Office for Low Emission Vehicles and cities in the UK with the aim of developing a national charging point network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A plan for London )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Source London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
