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.

Does Shell Recharge charge blocking or transaction fees?

Blocking and transaction fees are not charged on Shell Recharge branded charge points. However, some locations may enforce a maximum stay limit (e.g. one hour), and exceeding this may result in a parking fine.

However blocking fees may apply when using selected charge points operated by Shell Recharge’s third-party roaming partners, such as Source London. These fees are intended to encourage fair use and ensure availability for all EV drivers. You can check specific fee details in the Shell App. In addition, a flat 35p transaction fee applies to charging sessions on third-party public charging networks.
