Charge point operator Believ has announced a new partnership to deliver EV charging infrastructure to pub and hotel operator Marston’s, with the first installations expected to go live in late 2026.
This includes Standard, Standard Plus and Ultra-Rapid chargers at new sites across the Marston’s estate, with a mix of charging speeds, tailored to different dwell times, that will enable drivers to charge while eating or staying overnight.
It will be fully funded by Believ, who will provide an end-to-end service covering site assessment, design, installation, operation and ongoing maintenance.
The approach removes upfront capital expenditure and operational complexity for Marston’s, while ensuring future-proofed charging infrastructure at scale.
Marston’s already has a charging network which includes 542 chargers across 195 sites.
Megan Goldstein, Head of Transaction Management at Believ said, “Marston’s pubs and hotels are a perfect match for EV charging, giving drivers the chance to top up while they’re already enjoying a meal or fully charge while staying overnight.
“By choosing Believ’s fully funded, end-to-end model, Marston’s can deliver scalable EV infrastructure across its estate without upfront cost, while supporting customer experience, sustainability ambitions and long-term value.”
Chris White, Energy Manager at Marston’s said, “Since 2018, we’ve built one of the largest rapid and ultra-fast EV charging network in UK hospitality, and we have no intention of slowing down.
“Bringing Believ on board as our second EV charging partner gives us the platform to extend that network to new sites across our estate, for the benefit of our guests and the communities we serve.”
