Shell Recharge customers will also only pay for the power they use, as there are no subscription or connection fees.

Jane Lindsay-Green, Shell UK Retail Future Fuels manager said: “We are delighted to launch Shell Recharge to our customers in Scotland. The service provides Electric Vehicle drivers with a convenient way to charge their cars on-the-go; and they can also pick up a snack and use the free Wi-Fi while they wait.”

As part of its commitment to making journeys better, Shell launched Shell Recharge in October 2017 and has started a second wave of the roll out this autumn, bringing the service to a further 30 sites over the coming months.
