Shell installs 500th fast charger in the Netherlands
Milestone supports continued expansion of nationwide EV charging network.
Shell has reached a new milestone in its e-mobility strategy by installing its 500th fast charger in the Netherlands.
The move underscores the company’s ongoing investment in building a nationwide fast-charging network for electric vehicles (EV), aiming to make the transition to electric driving easier and more accessible. Fast chargers are now available at 90 of the brand’s more than 550 service stations across the country, as well as at selected locations near DIY retailers such as Gamma and Karwei.
Most of these chargers offer a capacity of 175 kilowatts, allowing EVs to gain approximately 350 kilometers of range in just 20 minutes, depending on the vehicle type and battery condition.
In addition to fast chargers, Shell is also expanding its network of standard public chargers in residential areas, partly through its subsidiary ubitricity. This effort aims to bring EV charging even closer to people’s homes and daily routines.
The energy giant’s commitment to electrification also includes innovative station formats. Since December 2022, the company has operated a fully electric Shell station in Rotterdam that no longer offers traditional fuels, marking a first for the Dutch market.
