Charging infrastructure has been a major challenge for EV adoption and for a long time stakeholders have been pushing for setting up of charging stations at filling stations. Well! European oil companies are getting into this business. Shell has transformed its traditional petrol filling station in London into a new “EV hub” and it looks impressive. The oil major, which currently operates a network of around 8,000 EV charging points, has installed an electric vehicle charging hub containing ten 175 kW DC fast-charging stations manufactured by Australian manufacturer Tritium.
The hub provides a comfortable seating area for waiting EV drivers, along with a Costa Coffee Store.
The new hub also provides a comfortable seating area for waiting EV drivers, along with a Costa Coffee Store and Little Waitrose & Partners shop. It’s also equipped with rooftop solar panels, and Shell says the chargers will be powered by 100 percent certified renewable electricity. Some urban residents in the UK who wish to own an EV do not have the option of setting up a charging station at home, as they have no designated parking space, and are dependent on on-street parking. It’s a tough problem, and the company will be looking to see if charging hubs are a viable solution.
Shell launched a similar EV hub in Paris last year and the company is also looking at other ways to provide charging for driveless people. It is aiming to install 50,000 ubitricity on-street charging posts across the UK by 2025, and is collaborating with grocery chain Waitrose in the UK to install 800 charging points at stores by 2025.
