Shell Recharge Charging Stations

Published on
April 18, 2023

Shell Recharge is a public charging network which provides fast, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers for EV owners in the UK, and their charging speeds range between 7 kW to 175 kW. They serve pay-as-you-go customers at between 55p - 85p per kWh. 

They’re a fast-growing network which hopes to have 5000 charging points in the UK by 2025. Shell Recharge is the first EV network launched by a major oil company; they have charging points in 33 countries across Europe. 

Bonnet supports Allego-operated Shell stations. You can find their charging stations in the same forecourts as their refuelling stations. They are currently a relatively small network but are looking to expand.

Where Does Shell Recharge Cover?

Shell Recharge have charging stations all over the United Kingdom. You can find their charging stations at Shell refuelling stations. Most of their network comprises a mix of fast, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers. Most charging locations have a range of speeds available. 

To see if there is a nearby Shell Recharge station to where you live, you should check out their website or download their app and view their charging map. 

Chargings Speeds At Shell Recharge Charging Points

Shell Recharge provides fast, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers at their locations. They use the Type 2 connector for AC charging and the CCS and the CHAdeMO connectors for DC charging. Not all charging stations in the UK provide chargers for the CHAdeMO connector as it is not the European standard DC connector.

Their chargers go from speeds between 7 - 175 kW. Not all stations provide all their charging speeds, so if you’re interested in knowing which speeds are at your nearest Shell Recharge point, you should check out their app or website. 

To help you understand how long it would take to charge to charge your EV using Shell Recharge’s charging speeds, we’ve calculated how long it would take to charge three of the UK’s most popular EVs from 10 - 80% using their chargers. 

We’re calculating 10 - 80% because you can damage your battery if you let it drain to 0% or fill up to 100%. Also, most EVs slow down their charge as they approach 100% power, so it is hard to give a definitive time for a 0 - 100% charge.

The three EVs we’re using to calculate Shell Recharge’s charging time are the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and the Jaguar I-Pace.

Type of ChargerConnector TypeTime To Charge Tesla Model 3 Long Range to 80%

22 kW ChargersType 2 Connector4 Hours, 46 Minutes
50 kW ChargersCCS & CHAdeMO Connectors1 Hour, 3 Minutes
70 kW ChargersCCS & CHAdeMO Connectors45 Minutes
150 kW ChargerCCS Connector21 Minutes
175 kW ChargerCCS Connector18 Minutes

7 kW charger

Shell Recharge’s 7 kW charger uses the Type 2 connector for AC charging. The 7 kW Charger is best used for topping up your EV as it takes a long time to charge it substantially.

It will take the following times if you charge the three EVs from 10 - 80% using a 7 kW charger. It would take the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf 4 hours and 15 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 7 hours and 30 minutes, and the Jaguar I-Pace 9 hours. 

22 kW Charger

The 22 kW charger uses the Type 2 connector for AC charging. 22 kW is more than most EVs can charge using their AC connector, so this charger will instead probably charge at your EV’s max AC charging speed.

The 22 kW charger would take 4 hours and 15 minutes to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80%, it would take the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 4 hours and 46 minutes, and it would take the Jaguar I-Pace 5 hours and 42 minutes.

50 kW Charger

Shell Recharge’s 50 kW charger uses the CCS or the CHAdeMO connector for DC charging. 50 kW is the most common DC charging speed in the UK.

Using this charger to charge from 10 - 80% would take the following times. It would take the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf 36 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 1 hour and 3 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 1 hour and 15 minutes.

70 kW Charger

A 70 kW charger uses the CCS and CHAdeMO connectors for DC charging. 70 kW is a rapid charging speed.

It would take the 40 kWh Nissan leaf 36 minutes to charge from 10 - 80% using a 70 kW charger. It would take the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 45 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 54 minutes.

150 kW Charger

Shell Recharge’s 150 kW charger uses the CCS and CHAdeMO connector for DC charging. A 150 kW charger is ultra-rapid and much faster than most charging points in the UK. 

Using a 150 kW charger to charge the three EVs from 10 - 80% would take the following times. It would take the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf 36 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 21 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 37 minutes.

175 kW Charger

The 175 kW charger uses the CCS or the CHAdeMO connector for DC charging. This ultra-rapid charger charges faster than most EVs DC connectors’ max speed. The only one of the three EVs we’re using that can charge above 175 kW is the Tesla Model 3 Long Range; the other two charge at their max speed when using this charger.

Shell Recharge’s 175 kW charger would take 36 minutes to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80%, it would take 18 minutes to charge the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, and it would take 37 minutes to charge the Jaguar I-Pace.

How Much Does It Cost To Charge At Shell Recharge Charging Stations?

Shell Recharge charge different prices depending on which charger speed you use. They don’t have any membership option; you must download their app to use their chargers. 

Shell Recharge charges 55p per kWh for their fast chargers, 79p per kWh for their rapid chargers and 85p for their ultra-rapid chargers.

Shell Recharger ChargersPrice per kWh
Fast Chargers (7 - 22kW)£0.55
Rapid Chargers (50 - 100 kW)£0.79
Ultra-Rapid Chargers (100+ kW)£0.85
