Reviews
Ordering and receiving the terminal was very quick, and the advisor (Alaé Mahmoudi) was very helpful. As for the installation, Salim and his colleague were very efficient, patient and conscientious. Our thanks to them!
High-quality charging point and expert installation (well done to Salim) in less than 2 hours.
Good work by the sub-contractor from Rouen to install our Ohme terminal in the Le Havre region. A trench not initially planned was even dug to finish the job properly. The installer finished late, and we'd like to thank him for his professionalism. As for Beev, Ulysse Destom was able to meet our expectations and the deadline was respected. Well done! Thank you for everything 🙂
I highly recommend BEEV and its customer advisor EMMANUEL DAVID VENZE. He listened to my needs and constraints and was able to advise me on the choice of bollard. Very quick quote, good follow-up and listened to my requests to finalise the quote. The IRVE-certified installer then got in touch with me very quickly; the installation was carried out and met my expectations in less than a week after signing the quote. All in all, I would recommend BEEV without hesitation for a quality service.
Very good operation. Installation of a charging point. Very satisfied with the result.
The quote was given very quickly and so was the installation! For the Carrefour gift card, I had to contact them again because I hadn't received anything, but in one morning and in less than two emails, with a very responsive after-sales service, everything was sorted! So you could say that everything went almost perfectly from start to finish. As for the terminal, it's very powerful, intuitive and optimised. The application is very practical and ergonomic. I highly recommend it!
