EV Chargers in Shropshire — Why It Works
Shropshire receives approximately 1,400 hours of sunshine per year. The county's extensive agricultural land makes it ideal for commercial ground-mount solar arrays, while market towns and villages benefit from rooftop residential installations. Our farm solar division has delivered projects across the county.
Planning & Installation Notes
Shropshire Council supports renewable energy development. Agricultural buildings often benefit from permitted development rights for solar. Larger ground-mount arrays may require planning permission; our team manages the entire application process including environmental impact assessments.
Shropshire has a population of ~323,000 across approximately ~140,000 households, making it one of the larger urban areas in Shropshire & Borders. With average property values at £280,000 and a council net-zero target of 2030, the economics and policy environment both point strongly toward renewable energy adoption.
Electric vehicle uptake is accelerating across Shropshire & Borders. Shropshire's growing public charging network is a positive sign, but public chargers cost 55–80p/kWh compared to 7–10p/kWh on an overnight home tariff — and virtually £0/kWh when charged from your own solar panels. The financial case for a home EV charger in Shropshire is overwhelming for any driver covering more than 5,000 miles per year.
The OZEV grant (up to £350) covers a substantial portion of installation cost for most Shropshire properties. Eligibility requirements are simple: dedicated off-street parking and an existing or on-order electric vehicle. Our OZEV-approved installers handle the application on your behalf — you don't need to contact OZEV directly.
Specialist agricultural solar division. A property in Shropshire with solar panels, a battery, and a smart EV charger achieves a genuine home energy trifecta: generating, storing, and consuming all three at close to zero marginal cost. Solar charges the battery during the day; the battery charges the car in the evening; the car drives the next day on yesterday's sunshine.
Installation time for a home EV charger in Shropshire is typically just 2–4 hours for a standard garage wall or driveway post installation. All our chargers include 3G/WiFi connectivity, smart scheduling, and app control as standard. For Zappi owners, the MyEnergi app shows live solar divert status — you can see exactly how many pence per hour you're saving by charging from the roof rather than the grid.

How EV Chargers Works in Shropshire
Free Home Assessment
We check your existing consumer unit capacity, earthing, and cable routes. If you're claiming the OZEV grant (up to £350), we confirm eligibility and handle the paperwork — you don't need to do anything.
Charger Selection
We recommend the best charger for your car and setup: Zappi for solar owners, Ohme for smart tariff scheduling, Hypervolt or Wallbox for general use. All options include 3G/WiFi connectivity and smart scheduling.
Installation Day
A single engineer typically completes EV charger installation in 2–4 hours, running cable from the consumer unit to your chosen location (garage wall, driveway post, or car port). The unit is commissioned and tested before we leave.
Smart Setup
We configure the charger's app, set up any solar divert settings (Zappi only), and show you how to schedule charging for cheapest overnight rates. OZEV grant is deducted from your invoice.
