New chargers coming!

Shell plans to install 50,000 electric vehicle charging points across UK

One can only hope there will be no need for apps, using a website or other stuff that petrol pumps never have been contaminated with.

One also hopes the chargers will be reliable, properly supported and that any repairs required will be effected in a timely manner.

hhmmm these will apparently (if they ever come to exist) be low power 7kw? AC on street charge posts. Ok for residential areas with no off road parking which I think is the basic idea.

Shell like all other oil companies is bricking it over the coming drop in oil revenue and desperate to grab as much of the ev charging market as they can early on.

Shell are spouting they are carbon neutral, how can they be with all the oil they pump out the ground?

They split off the company and named it shell energy, so technically aren't an oil producing company but use shell in the name as people are familiar with it.

Seems like the charge points will be in street furniture, rated between 3 and 5 kW and accessed wither via a website/app for PAYG or s subscription and "smart lead" for regulars.

Think lamppost charging for flat owners etc.
