We came to software from the switchgear, not the other way round.

Shockflo started in EV charging hardware and OEM development. We designed products, worked with factories, certified them, and shipped them. That work taught us something the software-first companies keep learning the expensive way: the gap between a device that appears in a portal and a device that can be dispatched reliably is where most energy projects quietly fail.

The more charging we installed, the more obvious it became that the charger was rarely the problem. The problem was the supply it sat behind, the solar exporting at a fraction of its value on the same roof, and the fact that nothing on site was talking to anything else. That's the business we're in now.

You may find an older Shockflo. The name started life on a consumer EV charging product. That business taught us the hardware, the certification and the installed reality of charging equipment — and it is also where we learned that the charger is rarely the constraint. Shockflo UK Limited was incorporated in April 2026 to build the energy management business described on this site. Same name, same hardware grounding, a different company and a different market. If you come across the earlier product pages, that is what they are.

Before founding Shockflo, our founder delivered EV charging infrastructure across UK commercial estates — including national hotel groups, global logistics operators and international property management firms. Named references available on request.
