CONVERTING GAS STATIONS INTO EV CHARGING HUBS

Shell provides access to nearly 300,000 charging points for electric cars in 35 countries.

The company directly oversees nearly 85,000 of these and the rest are offered through collaborations and partnerships.

Shell acquired NewMotion in 2017 and Greenlots in early 2019. Together, the two companies sell and install charging points for homes, workplaces, destinations, and depots, operating nearly 80,000 charge points.

Shell signed an agreement with highpowered charging network operator IONITY in 2017 to offer charge points across ten European countries starting with 80 of its biggest highway stations, allowing drivers to travel long distances with confidence for the first time.

Shell acquired 100% of Ubitricity, the

UK’s largest public electric vehicle charging network, in 2021. Ubitricity, founded in Germany, is a leading provider of on-street charging for electric vehicles. It holds 13.1% of the UK’s car charging points market.

In Turkey, charging stations are being piloted at approximately 10 stations. The company aims to exceed 45 stations with EV charging units by the end of this year.
