Revive is a regional public EV charging network, replacing Source West. With a large number of charge points due to be rolled-out in the next few years, funding from these comes from an OLEV grant, applied for by the Go Ultra Low West bid from local authorities in the region.
The network is built on GeniePoint’s back-office, meaning the same costs and access requirements apply. Customers use Revive on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no membership costs, and access is via web app or RFID card.

How to use the Revive network
Access to Revive units is made via either RFID card or the web app. All units can be accessed via the web app, which is free and accessible from a standard web browser, with a one-off cost for the RFID card.
Revive allows any RFID card to be registered to access the network’s points, including TfL’s Oyster card and those from other networks.
Finding Revive on Zapmap
All Revive charge points can be found on Zapmap by using the network filter. This can be used on the desktop and mobile apps, and displays only those points available to use by Revive customers.
Charging types and speeds can be filtered too, showing only those points that are compatible with users’ cars.
