Electric Vehicle (EV) charge point operator (CPO), Believ, and Wallbox, a global leader in electric vehicle charging and energy management solutions, are forming a strategic partnership to rollout Wallbox’s rapid and ultra-rapid charge point solutions across the UK.
With the new partnership, Believ expands its offering to include Wallbox’s 60kW, 120kW, 150kW and 220kW Supernova models – seeking to address the growing demand for en-route and destination charging where dwell times are generally shorter than on-street, residential locations. A wide-ranging portfolio of reliable, future-proofed hardware demonstrates Believ’s commitment to deliver the right charger in the right location, ensuring a convenient and strategic mix of charging options to suit all drivers’ needs. Wallbox’s hardware technology is also scalable, a key aspect that enables CPOs to meet current demand whilst preparing for future growth.
Guy Bartlett, Believ CEO, says the relationship is part of an ongoing strategy to work with proven, forward-thinking suppliers across all speeds of charge point:
“Our goal is to deliver the robust infrastructure that not only serves existing EV drivers but also encourages more to make the transition away from petrol and diesel vehicles,” he says.
“Drivers need to see charging technology working well at convenient locations that serve regular journeys, as well as their favourite restaurants, coffee shops and supermarket destinations. Crucial to this is that CPOs deliver the full range of charging speeds depending on site needs and driver dwell times.”
Douglas Alfaro, Chief Fast Charging Officer at Wallbox, says: “Partnering with Believ allows us to bring our high-performance charging technology to more drivers across the UK, ensuring they have access to fast, reliable charging where they need it most. With our scalable solutions, we’re not only addressing today’s charging needs but also supporting the UK’s transition to an electrified future.”
Believ is backed by Liberty Global and Zouk Capital, the manager of the HM Treasury-backed Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF). The first installation under this partnership has already been deployed in Scotland, setting the stage for further nationwide installations.
