Be.EV Invests £1million to Create Shropshire’s Biggest EV Charging Hub at the Telford Centre
18-bay Mega Site Will Mean EV Drivers Can Shop, Dine and Power Up in Just 20 Minutes!
9th July 2025, Telford: Calling all electric car drivers — the biggest EV charging hub in Shropshire has landed at Telford Centre, making it easier than ever to charge electric cars while visitors shop, dine, or enjoy some entertainment.
Shoppers at the million square foot Telford Centre, which boasts over 160 stores, cafés, and restaurants, will have 18 ultra-fast 300kW chargers at their fingertips, thanks to a new partnership with Be.EV, one of the UK’s fastest-growing EV charging networks.
These chargers are capable of delivering up to 325 miles of range in just 20 minutes—enough time to grab a coffee or browse favourite stores, all while drivers’ EVs power up quickly and hassle-free.

Located in the restaurant and cinema car park, the new charging hub is conveniently situated alongside big-name retailers like Next, Primark, M&S, and H&M, so visitors can shop and charge in one easy stop.
Telford currently has one of the lowest levels of EV adoption in the country, but the introduction of these new chargers will make it easier for shoppers across Shropshire to switch to EVs. Retailers at Telford Centre are set to benefit significantly, with studies showing consumer spending increases from £36 to £80 per visit after EV chargers are installed.
The Telford Centre is less than a five-minute drive from Junction 5 of the M54, which sees an average of 54,000 vehicles daily. It’s the largest undercover shopping mall in the area, located just 35 minutes from Birmingham and 25 minutes from Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton.
Welcome Week Promotion
To celebrate the launch, Be.EV is offering a Welcome Week promotion from 9th to 16th July—enjoy 50% off charging fees when paying via the Be.EV app, with no limits on usage and no minimum spend.
This £1,064,000 investment is the largest EV charging hub Be.EV has ever built—a real game changer for Telford Centre and shoppers across Shropshire, helping make the switch to electric easier than ever.
