Shell, along with NewMotion (a member of the Shell Group), offer fleet’s the opportunity to charge on-the-go, at home and at the office. The new Shell Card allows your fleet to refuel with traditional fuels and recharge electric vehicles (EVs) across a nationwide network, whilst on the road. With NewMotion’s smart-charging technology, fleets can turn office locations, and their employees driveways, into charging locations.

No. New cards are needed as they contain RFID technology that enables EV charging (on top of existing services).

Fleets can now charge using almost 8,000 charge points. This includes the Shell Recharge network and the ever-developing third-party network that includes NewMotion, Ubitricity, Chargepoint Inc., Engenie and Ionity and many more. Read our charging on-the-go page for more information.

The Shell Recharge app allows users to find public charge points all over the UK that are within the Shell Recharge and NewMotion networks. The app provides tariffs, availability and charging speed. Users can also flag and receive updates on the status of charge points e.g. when your favourite charge point is available again. You can also start, stop and pay for charge sessions directly with the app on a large number of charge points*.

Together with NewMotion, we can transform offices or homes into a smart-charging location. Our home and office charging offer comes with complete installation of up to 22kW posts suitable for all types of electric cars and 24/7 support for fleets. Fleet Managers also get access to ‘myNewMotion’, an online charge point management platform. It provides visibility of charging data and gives the ability to set charge points fees, reimburse employees for home charging costs and more. Charges on home and office charge points also appear in your usual Shell Card invoices, along with all other Shell Card transactions. Additionally, at business locations, fleets can make use of Dynamic Power Management that enables power from the grid to be dynamically distributed across business activities and EV charging infrastructure.

In the UK, business can apply for 2 OZEV grants that helps to reduce the costs of installing EV infrastructure; the home charge point grant (EVHS) and the workplace charge point grant (WCS).

The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) contributes 75% of the cost of home charge point installation, capped at £350 (incl. VAT)1,2.

The Workplace Charging Scheme, reduces purchase and installation cost related to workplace charging. For up to 40 charge points, businesses can receive £350 per socket, offering a potential cost saving of up to £14,0003.

In Scotland, these grants are covered by the Energy Savings Trust through their home and business charging points support.

Luckily, we can help with both applications with a little bit of support from employees and the business.

With smart-charging software**, employees can be automatically reimbursed for their home charging costs. A few simple steps in the charge point management system (myNewMotion) by both business and employees, the software takes care of the energy costs tracking, invoicing and reimbursement, so that you don’t have to.

With clever management software, you can set the charging tariff and user accessibility. You can define who can use your charge points, whether that’s just your employees, or it’s open to other users and even wider, the general public4.

And if you want certain users to charge at no cost, you can set-up a reimbursement process, enabling them to recharge for free5.
