Shell Recharge Roaming Partners? by Kyle Davey, EV Specialist at Fleetmaxx Solutions in Ipswich
The UK’s EV charging landscape is evolving at lightning speed ⚡ and for businesses running electric or hybrid vehicles, convenience matters more than ever. Drivers do not want five different apps, a wallet full of RFID cards, or uncertainty over where they can charge next.
That is exactly why the Shell Recharge network has become such a powerful solution for modern fleets.
Through the Shell Recharge network, drivers can now access more than 60,000 public charge points across the UK using a single platform, thanks to an extensive collection of roaming partners and Shell branded charging locations.
For our customers using the Shell Hybrid Fuel Card, Shell CRT EV Card, and Shell Recharge charging solutions through Fleetmaxx Solutions, that means easier charging, less downtime, streamlined invoicing and far fewer headaches for drivers on the road.

Shell Recharge roaming partners and on-street charging?
These on-street chargers are helping transform urban EV charging for drivers without home driveways.
Ubitricity now operates more than 14,000 public on-street charging points in the UK, many integrated directly into lamp posts and roadside infrastructure.
For company car drivers, hybrid users and urban fleets, this provides practical overnight and residential charging access without needing dedicated off-street parking.
