Believ has partnered with pub and restaurant chain Mitchells & Butlers to deliver fully-funded EV charging infrastructure across a number of its sites nationwide.
Charge points from Believ use 100% renewable electricity, which aims to supports Mitchells & Butlers’ sustainability strategy to achieve being net zero by 2040.
It will see Believ install EV chargers at up to 65 sites, providing an end-to-end service from site selection and installation through to operation and maintenance.
The contract includes electricity supply, maintenance and repairs, software and platform management, and customer support. In addition, the CPO will also fully fund all the EV charge point installation costs, including construction, hardware, and electrical work.
Mitchells & Butlers portfolio includes Miller & Carter, Ember Inns, All Bar One, Toby Carvery and Harvester. With installation starting in mid-2026, the project will see a mix of charge point types rolled out to serve different use cases.
Sites with hotels will feature standard plus (22 kW) chargers designed for overnight or extended stays. For shorter visits typical at restaurants and pubs, Believ is installing rapid and ultra-rapid chargers delivering speeds of up to 250 kW, providing drivers with quick and convenient top-ups.
Accessibility is also being factored in, with every site including one or more fully accessible bays.
Sarah Leggett, Estate Project Manager at Mitchells & Butlers, said:
“We are pleased to be working with Believ to deliver electric vehicle charge points across a number of our sites.
“This partnership will support our guests and businesses by providing convenient, reliable charging while enhancing the long‑term sustainability of our estate.”
Craig Butler, Property Director at Believ, said:
“As EV adoption continues to grow, businesses like Mitchells & Butlers are recognising the importance of offering on-site charging to support customer demand and stay ahead of the curve.
“The variety of locations across their portfolio, from city centre pubs to countryside restaurants, means we can deploy a tailored mix of charge point speeds, providing value and convenience to a wide range of EV drivers.
“By taking advantage of Believ’s fully funded model, they can deliver a scalable, future-proofed charging network that supports both sustainability goals and long-term customer loyalty.”
