Torridge District Council awards Believ contract for up to 26 charge points across north-west Devon
Torridge District Council has selected Believ through competitive public procurement to install and operate up to 26 EV charging stations across council-owned car parks in the district, which serves more than 68,000 residents in north-west Devon. The network will include standard and rapid chargers at sites including Churchfield Car Park in Appledore, Riverbank Car Park in Bideford, and Manor Car Park in Holsworthy. Believ will fully fund and manage the network, with the first phase expected to go live later this year.
Why it matters
The contract demonstrates how smaller district councils are using fully funded CPO models to deploy charging infrastructure without capital outlay, with Believ securing a multi-site rollout through competitive tender. The phased deployment of up to 26 stations across rural north-west Devon highlights ongoing efforts to extend public charging access beyond urban centres.
