Electric Mobility
Powering more of the cars we drive with clean energy is essential to addressing both growing CO2 emissions and air pollution across the UK. That’s why Shell is investing in EV infrastructure to meet the electric mobility charging needs of electric vehicle drivers – at home, at work or on the go.

Unlike traditional vehicles, which usually only refuel at petrol stations, electric cars have the potential to be recharged at home, at work or on the go, including in shared locations such as forecourts, car parks or supermarkets.
The number of pure-electric vehicles on UK roads is steadily increasing. But for electric vehicle use to grow more rapidly, drivers need to feel confident that there are convenient and reliable means of recharging their vehicles.
At Shell we support this ambition, and, in the UK, this includes providing electric mobility charging options for homes and businesses, as well as the provision of faster, high-powered charging options on forecourts.
Shell also supports the UK Government's ambition to increase the uptake of electric cars and believes the phase out date for sales of new internal combustion engine vehicles could be brought forward to 2030, to make sure the UK meets the 2050 net zero target. However, this could only be delivered through a robust government plan to make the transition fair and deliverable.

Shell Recharge
Launched in 2017, Shell Recharge is an on-forecourt electric car charging service, providing EV drivers charging with 100% certified renewable electricity.
Over the past three years this service has expanded rapidly and there are now over 80 Shell Recharge EV charge posts available at Shell forecourts across the UK. These include both rapid 50kW chargers and high-powered 150kW chargers.
Shell aims to increase the number of Shell Recharge posts on forecourts to 200 by the end of 2021.

NewMotion
Shell also owns NewMotion, one of Europe’s largest providers of EV charging posts, providing customers with access to a network of over 150,000 public charge points across 35 countries. In the UK, NewMotion provides drivers of electric mobility clean energy vehicles access to a public charging network of over 2,600 EV charge points.
While Shell Recharge gives customers access to charging points on Shell forecourts, NewMotion provides customers with access to a public network of charging points in a variety of locations from supermarket car parks to offices and homes. NewMotion recently partnered with Aldi UK to provide EV charge points for customers to use while they do their shopping.
Shell Recharge charging posts are supplied by electricity from 100% certified renewable clean energy sources.

Cleaner Energy
Clean energy is a crucial part of the e-mobility ecosystem: unless they are powered using clean electricity, electric mobility vehicles do not contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and air pollution across the UK.
Shell wants to be a leading player in the transport system of tomorrow . That’s why as the number of electric vehicles on the road grows, Shell is also working to provide more electricity from sources such as wind and solar power that will allow electric vehicles to run on low-carbon power sources. Furthermore, all Shell Recharge charging posts are supplied by electricity from 100% certified renewable sources.
Additionally, NewMotion recently joined forces with energy supply company Shell Energy Retail to offer customers a home charging point for a discounted price, with every charge powered by 100% certified renewable electricity. Shell Energy also offers a specific EV tariff that provides customers with discounts on home charging.
