EV Charging Solutions for Utilities
We work with utilities to deploy EV charging solutions to serve drivers in your area while managing current and future EV loads without straining the grid.
Deploying EV charging stations at utilities
The dramatic growth anticipated in the EV sector – with half of new car sales predicted to be electric by 2040 – will create an equally dramatic demand for electricity; securing a stable grid tomorrow depends on innovative charging technology today. At Shell Recharge Solutions, we provide utilities with innovative, open, and data-driven solutions to help you serve this new EV customer load while maintaining the reliability and stability of the electrical grid.
