After a year that has seen Electric Vehicle (EV) Charge point operator (CPO) Believ double its cumulative socket numbers and employee head count, the firm has triumphed in the prestigious Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards (EVIEs) winning ‘EV Scale Up of the Year’.  

The award recognises both the rapid growth of its ‘all-speeds’ charge point network, and how technical innovation and a commitment to sustainability and social value are driving the best charging experience and helping deliver ‘cleaner air for all’.    

The judges were especially impressed by Believ’s ‘very strong consumer feedback’, with drivers rating them 4.6 out of 5 for safety and charging experience, supported by uptime statistics of 99.8% and 98.0% on rapid and fast charge point availability respectively.  

The award win was also influenced by Believ’s recent Carbon Neutral Britain and ISO environmental management, health and safety, information security and quality accreditations. A notable technical innovation put forward in Believ’s award submission was ‘Digital Electricity’, a new way to roll out charge point infrastructure quickly and cost effectively. It capitalises on Believ’s close relationship with delivery partner Virgin Media O2 to utilise existing telecom ducts to significantly reduce the need for disruptive installation works, thus making previously commercially unviable sites deliverable.   

Guy Bartlett, Believ CEO, says the award is the result of highly experienced and dedicated teams, of which he is extremely proud:  

“I am thrilled we have won this award. It is testament to the expertise and unrivalled experience of our teams, as well as a total dedication to deliver on our mission to make sustainable transport available to everyone and deliver cleaner air for all,” he says.  

“Our rapid growth and ability to recruit the very best people to drive our mission is thanks to our industry-leading backing from Liberty Global and Zouk Capital. My thanks to all stakeholders for helping us to achieve this important recognition.”
