Overview

Westminster City Council has awarded concession contracts for the installation, operation, and management of 30 new DC rapid electric vehicle charge points on the public highway, with sites split between two winners: Believ Limited and TotalEnergies Charging Solutions UK Limited, announced on 9 February 2026. The scope includes installation of 5 higher-powered 100kW units and 25 units rated at 50kW, plus ongoing electricity supply, maintenance, customer payment interfaces including a mobile app, and round-the-clock customer support to effectively double the council's rapid charger portfolio from 32 to 62 units. This procurement supports Westminster's and London's net zero carbon and clean air objectives by addressing the shortfall of rapid EV chargers across the borough.
