Furrows Kia Shrewsbury has received its Electric Vehicle Approved (EVA) accreditation.
The Electric Vehicle Approved (EVA) scheme has been developed by the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) to recognise retailers’ excellence in the electric vehicle sector. EVA is endorsed by the Government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and Energy Saving Trust.
The scheme encourages dealerships to further develop their ability in selling and servicing electric vehicles. It recognises dealers’ expertise in the electric vehicle sector and promotes industry standards for the benefit of the consumer.
Following two extremely successful years, which saw over two-hundred dealers obtain accredited status, the Government has renewed its co-sponsorship of the scheme.
Energy Saving Trust independently audits individual dealerships to verify that they meet a set of standards covering EV sales and aftersales. These include the customer qualification process, staff knowledge and training, EV demonstration and handover processes as well as availability of EV service bays and charge points on site.
Antony Frost, Dealer Principal at Furrows of Shrewsbury, said “We are delighted to receive our EVA accreditation for the Kia franchise here at Shrewsbury. The team put in a lot of time and effort throughout the audit process and it's great to see that the hard work has paid off. Customers can be reassured that at Furrows Kia Shrewsbury they will receive the best advice and support when buying an electric vehicle. Well done team Shrewsbury!”
Like the team at Furrows Ford Telford, to gain the accreditation, Furrows of Shrewsbury staff have undertaken intensive training and all colleagues must show a sold understanding of all electric and hybrid model variants. Well done to all staff at Furrows Kia Shrewsbury!

Furrows Limited are a credit broker and not a lender. We are Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. FRN 688547. We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which include manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act as an Agent for the Lenders and we would introduce you firstly to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise who are usually able to offer the best available package to suit your needs. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to the next best offer of finance from another lender on our panel. Our aim is to secure the best deal for you with your eligibility. Lenders typically pay a fixed commission to us for the introduction, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow but this does not affect the interest charged on the finance agreement, which is set by the lender. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status.
