About Be.EV
We are a public electric vehicle (EV) charging provider, with a vision to create a fair, futureproof infrastructure legacy that will sustainably accelerate the UK’s EV revolution across the country.
We operate a national network of close to 300 live chargers with an additional 1,000+ in the current pipeline. We are backed by £110million from Octopus Energy Generation, one of Europe’s largest renewable energy investors, and are powered by 100% deep green energy.
We have a uniquely community-led and customer-first approach to creating and managing high-usage, design-led and fully funded-EV charging solutions that add value to your organisation or site. Extra revenue, additional footfall, and competitor differentiation to name but a few! Not only do we design, fund, build and operate our site partners' charging solutions, but we provide ongoing maintenance and support to evolve and futureproof the solution over time.
We pride ourselves on putting the right chargers in the right places (leveraging state-of-the-art tech to assist with site selection), and in the success of our modular Charging Hub and Charging Green offerings. But most importantly we make sure the chargers work - our network currently has a 99.6% uptime/ availability record.
Our employee owned business is built on commitment, trust and brilliant customer service. We love working with local people and are passionate about making a positive contribution to the communities we serve.

About This Sector
There an increasingly urgent global and UK focus on the climate emergency, electrification and green energy solutions, with interrelated issues coming to the fore such as decarbonisation, green infrastructure provision and clean air. The ban on new petrol/diesel car sales comes in from 2030 and despite growing consumer interest levels (over 900,000 electric / hybrid vehicles are already on the road) the public charging infrastructure remains inadequate.
Approximately 300,000 chargers will be needed by 2030; today there are just 37,000. The good news is that this represents a 30% year on year increase, though this lags somewhat behind the 38% annual growth in sales of battery electric cars during the year to November (Source: Zap Map).
Be.EV is passionate about rising up to this challenge, and to democratising access across every region and community. Currently the Midlands, the North and North East lag some way behind the South East.
The next 5 to 10 years will be game-changing, and now is the perfect time to join the EV revolution.
