Believ and Wallbox to introduce 220kW public EV charging points across UK

EV charging point operator Believ, and Wallbox, specialists in EV charging and energy management solutions have formed a strategic partnership to rollout Wallbox’s rapid and ultra-rapid charge point solutions across the UK.

The new partnership sees Believ expand its EV charge point offerings to include Wallbox’s 60kW, 120kW, 150kW and 220kW Supernova units as way of addressing the growing demand for en-route and destination EV charging. Wallbox’s EV charging technology is scalable, thus enabling charge point operators to meet current demand whilst preparing for future growth.

“Our goal is to deliver the infrastructure that not only serves existing EV drivers, but also encourages more to make the transition away from petrol and diesel vehicles,” said Believ CEO, Guy Bartlett.

“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 charge point operators deliver the full range of charging speeds depending on site needs and driver dwell times.”

Douglas Alfaro, chief fast charging officer at Wallbox, added: “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, and is set to be rolled out further across the UK in due course.

The Wallbox tie-up is part of a busy start to 2025 for Believ. In January, it opened an office in Edinburgh and cut EV charging rates in the London boroughs of Wandsworth and Waltham forest, where it saved drivers up to 5p per-mile with a newly-introduced 48p/kWh rate.
