Believ has won a place on a framework agreement with the Church of England (CoE) and Church in Wales (CiW) to provide its electric vehicle (EV) network to the religious organisations.
The charging point operator’s EV network will be available to the 18,000 properties under the Parish Buying Service’s jurisdiction.
All churches, schools and village halls with car parks on land owned by the CoE and CiW are able to request EV charging infrastructure support through this tender.

The charge point operator’s framework is designed to support the CoE and CiW in achieving net zero by 2030, and to help communities to provide publicly accessible EV charge points for their residents and visitors.
Senior business partnerships manager at Believ Kevin Ledger said: “These organisations are some of the largest landowners in the UK, and so this framework agreement has the potential to accelerate the rollout of much needed publicly accessible charging infrastructure.
“By installing EV charge points, churchgoers and local residents without off-street parking spaces will now benefit from the possibilities that sustainable motoring can bring them and help us connect rural communities to the EV charging infrastructure.”
Achievements and innovations in EV charging infrastructure will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
