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.
*With Shell Card, drivers can access more than 72,000 public charge points across the UK, including Shell Recharge locations and charge points available through Shell’s roaming partners.
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.
What is Shell Recharge?
- Shell branded rapid and ultra-rapid charging locations
- Destination charging
- On-street charging
- Roaming partner networks
- Fleet charging solutions
- App and RFID card access
- Shell GO+ Rewards integration
Drivers can locate, activate and pay for charging sessions through the Shell App or Shell Recharge card while earning Shell GO+ Rewards points at participating locations.
