How much does it cost to charge?
Charging at a Shell Recharge charge points costs £0.41/kWh in the UK. You can pay using contactless or use the Shell recharge app and card which allow you to keep track of all your charges at Shell and other major providers on the network.
The Shell Recharge card and app also allow you to charge at over 250 other charge point providers across Europe without the need to register for each individually. The costs of public charging vary. We collaborate with many different charge point operators to grow and maintain our charging network. To be able to offer you a seamless charging experience throughout the entire network, we provide roaming services for which we charge a transaction fee of £0,35 with a maximum of £7 / 20 transactions per month. The actual charging costs may differ from local tariffs and tariffs can vary between charge points. To know exactly what your charging session will cost, you can easily check the actual tariff of the specific charge point in our Shell Recharge app.
More information on charging costs in the UK can be found here. *Tariff holds for both national and international charging, incl VAT. You’ll only be charged for the electricity you use. As soon as you start charging, your bank pre-authorises (reserves) £20 to ensure it’s available for you to pay with. If you have mobile banking, you may see this amount pop up. When you finish charging, we tell your bank the real amount you spent, they deduct it, and arrange to unreserve the pre-authorised amount. This process can take a few minutes to a few days depending on who you bank with. But if you pay with the Shell Recharge app, there is no pre-authorisation, instead you will receive a monthly invoice to pay with the debit/credit card you have registered your Shell Recharge account against.
