Shell announced today (March 7) that Osprey Charging will be its preferred partner for putting electric vehicle (EV) charging points on UK franchised forecourts.

The first charger has already been installed at Hovefield Service Station in Essex.

The announcement reflects the sharp increase in EV registrations in the UK, with Shell planning to double its 100 charge points on UK forecourts from 100 to 200 by the end of 2021. It aims to increase this to 5000 by 2025.

Bernie Williamson, Shell UK general manager, said: “For electric vehicle use to grow more rapidly, drivers need to feel confident that there are convenient and reliable means of recharging their vehicles when they are travelling.”
