Electric vehicle charging across the UK takes centre stage for this latest episode of IJGlobal’s podcast service – Infra Dig.
IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville sits down for a chat with Asif Ghafoor – founder and chief executive of Be.EV, the nationwide rapid and ultra-rapid charging network group.
Be.EV launched in 2019 and is majority owned by Octopus Energy Generation, with the wider Octopus Energy group powering its network with wind and solar energy.
Conversation flows freely with Asif talking about Be.EV’s recent acquisition of MER (which boosted its network by 1,600 charging points), and his anticipation that the UK EV charging sector will consolidate from roughly 1,500 players now to just 6.
Tune in for an inciteful view of a burgeoning sector that needs to grow significantly to meet future demand.
