About Believ
Believ presents itself as a provider of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging networks throughout the UK. The website says the company "believe[s] in cleaner air for all" and describes its charging as high-quality, reliable, easy to use, supplied with 100% renewable energy, and not expensive. The text does not give a founding date or a list of leadership names.
Services Offered
The site groups its offer by audience:
- Drivers: a locator for an EV charge point, with the network described as expanding rapidly.
- Local Authorities: a bespoke, privately funded charging network delivered for councils.
- Businesses: installation of EV charging on commercial premises at zero cost and zero risk.
- Landowners: acquisition of freehold and leasehold sites to develop charging hubs.
Key Findings
The company reports that it spoke with 101 local authorities about the challenges they face in deploying EV charging infrastructure. According to the text, there has been a remarkable increase in EV adoption, but barriers remain. The findings are set out in a latest report, which the text does not summarise further.
Context Figures
The site cites several statistics: the UK government's ambition for chargers required by 2030, a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the UK, households without off-street charging access (shown as 0m), and households more than five minutes' walk from a public charging point (shown as 0%). The figures on the page are placeholders and no sourced values are given.
Why It Matters for UK Drivers and Councils
The website states its purpose as making charging possible for drivers and guiding them to where they want to go, while offering councils, businesses and landowners a way to expand charging infrastructure.
