Shell PLC bets on faster highway charging across its Recharge network

By Eve

Shell PLC is investing in faster highway charging as part of its Shell Recharge EV charging network strategy. The report, surfaced via Ad-hoc-news.de, indicates the energy major is prioritising speed upgrades at motorway locations to improve the driver experience.

Why it matters: Shell's focus on higher power highway chargers signals growing competition for en route charging contracts and raises the bar for CPOs bidding on motorway service area concessions.
