Landis+Gyr and Believ partner to improve accessible EV charging in the UK

Landis+Gyr and Believ have joined forces to make electric vehicle (EV) charging more accessible in the UK. Together, they will address the needs of nearly 4 million Blue Badge holders, many of whom face challenges using standard EV chargers.

Guy Bartlett, Believ CEO, explained the importance of the collaboration: 

“By working with the most forward-thinking manufacturers we can ensure our product catalogue meets the highest possible standards, and that we continuously work towards more accessible solutions. It is also how we deliver bespoke end-to-end solutions, dependent on site needs.”

A key focus of the partnership is the updated INCH Duo AC charger. This charger meets the UK’s PAS 1899 accessibility standard. It includes features like repositioned sockets to meet height guidelines and contactless payment options. 

Mark Coley, Head of Market Development at Landis+Gyr, commented: 

“Our collaboration with Believ underscores our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and supporting the UK’s transition to electric mobility. By integrating our advanced INCH Duo chargers into Believ’s commercial offering, we are making EV charging more accessible while expanding our footprint across the UK. Together, we are enabling a cleaner, greener, and more inclusive future.” 

This partnership will expand accessible EV charging across the UK. It builds on Landis+Gyr’s strengthening EV portfolio, having just penned a deal with We Power Your Car to provide charging to fleet operators. Now, their public charging interests are becoming more developed with a significant boost for those who need support the most.
