Shell Recharge: First Charging Stations Online at KFC

The petroleum company aims to become a net-zero emissions business by 2050. One building block for this is the establishment of a wide range of charging options for electric vehicles. In 2019, they began installing Shell Recharge fast-charging stations at Shell gas stations. In 2021, they acquired the Berlin startup ubitricity, which enables charging at streetlights. Recently, SBRS GmbH, a leading provider of charging infrastructure solutions for commercial electric vehicles, joined them. In 2022, the company commissioned the first fast-charging stations in parking lots of REWE and PENNY markets. Additionally, there is a cooperation agreement with IONITY, a joint venture of Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, Hyundai, Porsche, and Volkswagen, to install fast-charging stations along highways in European countries. By 2025, the company aims to operate more than 70,000 public charging points worldwide and over 200,000 by 2030.
