Concerns that are shared however, include whether a charge point is futureproofed to adapt to rapidly advancing technological developments, its reliability and its usage. The role of a modern CPO in this light is to ensure that charge points are technologically viable and ready for not only this generation of EVs, but also the next generation. Believ, for instance, operates a process of annual servicing and a 24-hour emergency response team, coupled with reactive and pro-active maintenance teams to ensure optimum uptime, and enhanced by remote diagnostics, taking responsibility for any installed network so that facilities managers and business owners are left to do what they do best, without worrying about the availability and performance of their charging network.
What’s next? The EV environment is developing rapidly. Facilities managers and business owners are having to consider in more detail their future charging requirements as needs

evolve, with EV owners transitioning away from range anxiety and to charge point anxiety. Is the right type of charge point in the right destination, and does it fulfil location demand?
With trends emerging including land acquisition and development, led by CPOs, businesses and councils for the purpose of creating dedicated EV charging hubs, we will continue to see hardware being the focal point of reliable, effective EV infrastructure. This land, often under-utilised, is redeveloped to provide EV charging facilities for local communities, retail parks and local businesses among others, transforming vacant sites into new revenue opportunities. But the bottom line remains the same: CPOs must make life easier for business owners and facilities managers and deliver a reliable, cost-effective and accessible charging network that facilitates sustainable transport, and work in partnership with CPOs like Believ to deliver ‘cleaner air for all’.
