Where can I see what the estimated charging costs are?
To avoid surprises, here’s what we suggest you do before plugging in:
- Choose a public charge point in the Shell Recharge app or find a location page .
- Look up the current tariffs of a public charge point.
- Check the estimated session costs based on the charge point tariffs, your car and your charging needs at that moment (e.g. current battery level).
- Compare tariffs of available charge points nearby.
This allows you to make an informed decision on where you’d like to charge your car and for how much, with no hidden surprises.
