How do I pay for charging my EV on the public network?

The Shell Recharge public network operates on a pay-for-what-you-use basis, with no subscriptions. You have two options, either pay with an activated Shell Recharge charge card


or with a contactless payment method. Choose whichever options works best for you.​

The easiest way to charge and pay is with the Shell Recharge app or charge card. The app and card allow for subscription-free, monthly payments. An active app and charge card has payment details (bank account, etc) attached to it. This means, no matter which charge point you use or how many times you charge in the same country, you will only receive one consolidated monthly invoice. If you do charge in a different country, you may receive separate bills. At selected charge points, you can also pay-as-you-go with a contactless card, this is easy too. However, you won’t be able to see live updates on your charging status or receive a payment receipt.

*T&Cs apply, visit www.shell.co.uk/shellgoplustc. Participating Shell service stations and Shell Recharge branded forecourts and destination partners: Waitrose, Aldi, Roadchef. Shell Recharge On Street is excluded. New members will receive £2.50 worth of points when joining and opting into marketing communications.

** 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.
