About Asif Ghafoor:\\xa0
After 25 years working in UK infrastructure investment, Asif co-founded Be.EV to change the way public EV charging infrastructure is delivered: faster, fairer, rooted in local communities and nice to look at. Today, Be.EV is the fastest-growing public EV charging network in the North. It has just won the backing of Octopus Energy Generation, who are investing up to \\xa3110m to dramatically scale the network and take it national. It\\u2019s Octopus\\u2019 first investment in EV charging - and comes with a target of delivering 1,000 new charge points by 2024.

About Be.EV.:
Be.EV is the largest EV charging network across Greater Manchester, and is expanding at a rapid pace across the north of England in order to make charging simple, reliable, and effortless. They work closely with the communities in which they operate and were appointed by TfGM in 2019 to grow and maintain the city-region\\u2019s publicly owned EV charging network. This included a major upgrade of the existing network as well as the delivery of additional public and private funded chargers. Their mission is to give all drivers what they want: more chargers, in more places that they can access more easily and more cost-effectively.
