Just perfect! If only all purchases went this smoothly. I had my charging point installed in August via the Carrefour/BEEV partnership (€100 gift card + charging cable). If you can, ask for Ulysse DESTOM, he's super responsive, very friendly and manages to meet your needs. Quote validated on a Friday, bollard received on Wednesday and installed 7 days later. Nothing to say about the installer, he configured the bollard, tested it and it's been working perfectly for 4 months. The app is very useful for monitoring consumption. I recommend BEEV without reservation and I recommend Ulysse for its support. Frédéric

Bollard installer, very serious, there was a small problem with the choice of bollard, they managed everything from start to finish, they came back to install a new bollard and followed us through to the end.

It was a great experience. The bollard complied with the estimate, was efficient and easy to use. The installation went perfectly with a very competent and professional electrician. The customer experience from the moment we signed the quote right through to installation was perfect.

After 3 weeks of use, I'm completely satisfied with this bollard. It's very discreet and can be controlled remotely using an intuitive application.
