Shell Recharge app
Manage all your charging needs with one app. One card. One account.
EV charging app for all your charging needs
Our user-friendly mobile app and charge card provide a smooth, integrated experience. Drivers can locate chargers, enjoy easy payment, check charging status, and get notifications.
We usually suggest you plan any trip around charge point availability, charging speeds, and the amenities at the location. It’s always a bonus if you can grab a coffee or a snack whilst you wait to charge. The app will provide you with real-time information, so check availability as you get nearer to the charge point. If a green checkmark icon is shown, this means the charge point is available. Never check whilst driving, make sure to pull over if you don’t have a passenger at hand to check. When you get to the charge point, you can swipe your card or phone to begin the charge. But when you open the app, the instructions will guide you through. Please note that some charge points only work with the QR code.
