Believ has taken over the operation of more than 110 public EV chargers across over 30 locations in Brighton and Hove, replacing Blink Charging on the network.
The sites include Standard, Standard Plus and Rapid chargers, supporting both long-stay parking and faster top-up charging for residents, visitors and businesses.
The company is also working with Brighton and Hove to add 210 more Rapid and Ultra-rapid chargers, with rollout already underway and expected to finish by the end of 2028. In the current network, Believ is retaining Standard and Standard Plus equipment where possible, while upgrading Rapid locations to improve reliability and meet public charging regulations.
Brighton and Hove has limited off-street parking, with 54 per cent of residents lacking private charging access, making public charging especially important. Key locations such as Elm Grove, London Road Car Park and King Alfred Car Park are intended to make charging more convenient and accessible.
Believ says the project is designed to improve use of public space while maintaining existing infrastructure and enhancing service quality. The new Rapid chargers are expected to offer more charging points with less infrastructure, and that work is due to be completed by the end of November 2026.
All Believ chargers are available in the Zapmap app, which provides live availability and status updates 24/7. Drivers can start and pay for sessions in the app or use the Zapmap charging card.
Believ CEO Guy Bartlett said the region is a priority for public charging because many households lack off-street parking and described the approach as practical and focused on delivering a reliable network.
