Event details
In this webinar, we bring together our team at Believ alongside local authority partners and industry experts to explore how public EV charging can be planned, delivered and operated effectively. We’ll share practical insights from projects across the UK, focusing on what works on the ground and how charge point operators and councils can collaborate to deliver reliable, future‑ready charging infrastructure.
Drawing on real‑world experience, the panel will discuss maintenance models, uptime commitments, cybersecurity, payment accessibility, and how to future‑proof infrastructure to meet growing demand. From tackling vandalism and physical damage to planning for power capacity and scalable hardware, this session will provide practical insights into keeping public charging networks working for communities over the long term.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn from peers and experts about ensuring EV charge points continue to deliver high standards of reliability, availability, and value for local authorities and residents alike.
