Find the Shell Recharge Station nearest to you 

The Shell Recharge Network lets you plan recharging to make your trip simple and eco-sustainable, helping you to find the recharging station closest to you.

The network includes over 500,000 recharging stations across Europe. For each recharging station the map shows you availability, prices, cable types and recharging speed* in real time.

*7kW or 22kW chargers take around 3-4 hours to fully recharge and are usually available in car parks, supermarkets and recreational centres. 50kW DC chargers typically recharge from 0 to 80% in approximately 30 minutes, while 150kW ultra-fast chargers deliver power 3 times faster. The time depend on your car model.

How you recharge at zero-emission electric charging stations depends on the charging method of your car.

In how many different ways can you recharge your electric car?

1. Slow recharging - on a home electrical socket
2. Medium recharging - through a wall box
3. Fast recharging - at public or private recharging stations
4. Ultra-fast charging - only at public charging stations

What does the recharging time depend on?

• Battery capacity
• Maximum recharging power of the column
• Grid power available at the time of charging
• The number of vehicles connected to the recharging column
• Maximum AC charging power accepted by the internal recharger
• The cable
• Maximum direct current charging power accepted by the vehicle
• Energy dispersion

How to recharge an electric car

• Locate the recharging column
• Park the vehicle next to the recharging station
• Connect the cable of electrical column to your car connector. The most commonly used cable for direct current recharging is the standard CCS Combo 2, which is also compatible with alternating current recharging (the upper section of the CCS combo 2 connector is equipped with a Type 2 connector). In the case of direct current recharging, you will not need your own recharging cable, since the column will be equipped with a recharging cable
• Once you reach the required charge, disconnect the cable and you are ready to go
