Electric Chargers at Shell Stations

Shell appears with two new products in the Central and Eastern European market for electric chargers: the company is launching its first fast charging station in Hungary in cooperation with IONITY, a charging network operator, and, at the same time, introducing the Shell Recharge charging station, its own global brand. This allows drivers at Shell filling stations to recharge their electric cars at both charging units, a press statement by the company says.

“We are delighted that we are entering a new chapter in the life of Shell's retail business in Central and Eastern Europe. With the introduction of Shell V-Power premium fuels, we have stimulated innovation in traditional fuels in the region, but now we are opening a new era,” István Kapitány, Vice President, Global Retail at Shell said.

The first joint quick recharging station with IONITY is located along the M7 motorway near Lake Balaton, thus, electric cars will be able to take longer and longer journeys from the capital. All four charging points offer up to 350 kW of charging power. Fast chargers can charge a new generation of electric vehicles in 10 to 15 minutes, three times faster than those currently available to motorists.
