Revive is a regional public EV charging network, which replaced Source West. Charge points have been rolled out with support from OZEV, including as part of the Go Ultra Low Cities funding. A large number of charge points are due to be rolled-out in the next few years, by local authorities in the West of England.
The network operates using GeniePoint’s back-office, meaning the same 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.
