Other charging network providers via the Shell App

For contactless credit and debit card or app transactions at Shell Recharge, a pre-authorisation amount of £55 will be charged by your bank to ensure it’s available for you to pay with. For Shell Recharge on-street customers paying via QR code, a pre-authorisation amount of £40 will be charged. If you have mobile banking, you may see this amount pop up. When you finish charging, we tell your bank the real amount you spent, they deduct it, and arrange to unreserve the pre-authorised amount. This process can take a few minutes to a few days depending on who you bank with.

** To access the roaming network, a £0.35 transaction fee, with a maximum of £7.00 per month, is charged for all successful charging sessions.

*** At TotalEnergies network destinations, Shell charges a blocking fee after 4 hours of charging and the costs are £0.05 per minute. Blocking rates have been introduced by the charging point providers and are there to improve the availability of charging stations.
