How to charge
My vehicle won’t start charging. What should I do?
If you can’t get the charger to work, please check the settings on your car to ensure no charge timers are active. Next, make sure that you are plugged in to a charger with the same Charge Point ID as the one you are trying to access on the app or website.
If you are still unable to charge, our friendly customer support team are available 24/7 to help you out. You can give them a call on 0800 051 5335.
Do I have to pay for parking at a charging station?
The rules governing parking bays depend on where they are located. You should always check the local signage to determine what regulations apply in order to avoid any penalties.
Please note we have a day-time overstay fee (a. k. a. idel fee) of 8p/minute, which applies after 4 hours of plugged-in time, if your vehicle is no longer charging.
The idle fee is only applicable in daytime hours (9:30am – 6:30pm Monday to Sunday), so charging overnight will not be subject to overstay fees until 9:30am the next morning. The fee is applicable to both members and PAYG users.
The fee is there to ensure the chargers are vacated when charging is finished, so that other users get a chance to fill up.
What should I do if I find a non-electric vehicle is occupying a Believ bay?
Whilst we will do everything we can to keep the charging bays exclusive to electric vehicles, it is the responsibility of the boroughs to enforce the parking regulations. Please report any vehicles illegally occupying a bay to the relevant local council directly as they will have the authority to have vehicles ticketed and/or removed.
Is my EV compatible with the Believ charging points?
All Electric Vehicles are compatible with our charge points.
All of our charge points will have a Type 2 socket, for you to plug in your own charging cable.
Please ensure you are using the correct Type 2 charging cable to charge your vehicle. Using cables that are not EV Type 2 charging cables may lead to the cable becoming stuck in the charge point.
How fast will my car charge?
Our AC Fast charging points are rated 7-22kW, however most cars available today will charge at between 7-11kW. That’s fast enough for a full battery in 4-6 hours for a typical EV. All our AC Fast charge points have dual sockets, allowing them to charge two cars simultaneously. Adding a second car to the charge point will not disturb or affect the first charging session.
All EVs are different, and charging times will vary depending on your vehicle and your battery’s state of charge. Please check your vehicles maximum charge rate to determine the maximum speed available to you. For example, if your vehicle has a maximum charge rate of 7kW, then even if you plug into our 22kW charger it will only charge at 7kW.
