BeWorks Validates Accessibility Features in Fulham EV Hub During Proof-of-Value (PoV) Project

London, UK, 13.10.2023 — Despite London's typical gloomy weather, BeWorks Automation embarked on an insightful visit to the innovative Shell EV hub in Fulham. This visit marked a pivotal phase in BeWorks' Proof-of-Value (PoV) project, dedicated to validating key aspects for the development of an advanced technical accessible EV chargepoint prototype.

The primary goal of the visit was to gain critical insights into the existing EV charging infrastructure. To achieve this, the BeWorks team engaged in insightful discussions with both EV drivers and the dedicated EV champions at the Fulham hub. These champions play an essential role in shaping the prototyping efforts of BeWorks.


The BeWorks team came well-prepared, armed with a customised survey aimed at uncovering the real-world challenges faced by individuals with diverse accessibility needs. Their mission was to understand the unique realities that shape interactions with EV charging infrastructure, with a specific focus on physical EV chargepoints.


The feedback received from returning EV drivers about the current EV chargepoints at the Fulham hub was exceptionally positive. These discussions delved into the current challenges faced by public EV charging stations in the UK. Key areas of concern include user experience, pricing, parking environments, and EV chargepoint hardware.


One of the highlights of the visit was a conversation with Clyde, the Fulham #EVchampion. In his role as chargepoint manager, Clyde's friendly and helpful nature, as well as his willingness to assist, has made him a favourite among EV drivers. Some drivers even mentioned that his approachability and positive energy were the primary reasons they continued to choose the Fulham hub. This underlines the importance of excellent customer service in the EV charging landscape.


In summary, the Fulham hub visit is part of BeWorks' extensive stakeholder engagement process. It involves in-person user interviews, marking the second phase of the initiative. BeWorks is excited about visiting more charging locations across the UK to gather insights from an even broader spectrum of users. These insights are invaluable in further shaping stakeholder requirements and enhancing the development of accessible EV charging solutions.
