Public Network Charging - Shell Recharge

The first EV charging network to be launched by an established oil company, Shell’s Recharge network comprises rapid and ultra-rapid chargers installed across the UK.

Operated on a pay-as-you-go basis, users access the charge points via the Shell Recharge app, RFID card, or contactless bank card.

Many of Shell Recharge’s units are rapid chargers, reflecting the requirements of drivers visiting a petrol station; a quick stop-off required rather than destination charging. Charge points offer three different connectors; CCS and CHAdeMO for 50kW DC charging, and Type 2 43kW AC.

The international oil company Royal Dutch Shell has made the decision to install EV charge points at a number of its forecourts, both in the UK and abroad. Operated by Allego on behalf of Shell, the Shell Recharge network is currently small in number, but has the advantage of both significant backing and a large number of locations available for expansion.
