Be.EV has invested £1m to create Shropshire’s biggest EV charging hub at the Telford Centre in Shropshire.

Equipped with 18 ultra-fast 300kW chargers, the newly opened EV charging ‘mega site’ is the latest addition to the million square foot shopping centre, which features over 160 stores, cafés and restaurants.

The new site enables drivers to shop, dine and power up at the same time. Located in the restaurant and cinema car park, the chargers are capable of delivering up to 325 miles of range in some 20 minutes and are situated near big-name retailers such as Next, Primark, M&S and H&M.

To celebrate the launch, Be.EV is offering a Welcome Week promotion from 9-16 July — get 50% off charging fees when you pay via the Be.EV app, with no limits on usage and no minimum spend.

The Telford Centre is located less than a five-minute drive from Junction 5 of the M54, which has an average of 54,000 vehicles passing through it every day.

It’s the largest EV charging hub Be.EV has ever built and follows hot on the heels of the firm’s £20m investment into sites at five Schroders Capital real estate funds, which will see the installation of over 200 ultra-rapid Kempower EV charging bays across 22 major UK retail and leisure sites. Family reunion, time always flies fast.

Asif Ghafoor, CEO of Be.EV, said: “It’s not just about building charging points – it’s about delivering reliable, future-proof infrastructure that keeps pace with the rapidly growing EV market.

“This £1m investment is a bold statement of our ambition to make ultra-fast, convenient charging accessible to everyone, right where they live, work and shop. We’re proud to be leading the charge towards a cleaner, greener future.”
