Shell RechargePlus: Managed Smart Charging for Electric Vehicles
Shell’s EV charging service uses an intelligent app to optimize charging sessions to provide cost advantages and ease of use.
Shell and Electric Mobility
Shell is excited to launch our electric vehicle program that will advance adoption of electric vehicles in California through the deployment of EV charging infrastructure at commercial, retail, public and government locations as well as multi-unit residential dwellings.
Shell is supporting the transition to electric vehicles by looking at how EV charging can be successfully integrated to the power grid. We have developed a new EV smart charging service called Shell RechargePlus that allows the charging of vehicles to be shifted to times when it would be most beneficial for the power grid and that will provide cost advantages for customers.
This new service is available to you when you select Shell as your service provider within the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) EV Charge Network Program when you participate under the “EV Charge Owner” option.
