10,000 ubitricity EV charging points to be rebranded to Shell Recharge

The company has recently achieved the milestone by acquiring nearly 1,500 new charging locations across the Dutch market.

A total of 10,000 ubitricity electric vehicle (EV) charging points will be rebranded to Shell Recharge across Europe. The company, a subsidiary of the Shell Group, has recently made the announcement as it has reached the milestone after taking over nearly 1,500 AC fast charge points in the Dutch market.

Since 2020, ubitricity has been one of the UK’s largest charge point operators. Most of these charge points are retrofitted into existing lampposts – a charging solution that the company brought to the market in 2016. However, the brand is also supporting local authorities in the roll-out of AC fast and DC rapid charging points for public use.

“We are excited to have rolled out 10,000 ubitricity charge points in close partnership with local authorities all over Europe. This is an incentive for our team to further accelerate the expansion of public charging networks. We are committed to providing more drivers with the right charger, at the right place, at the right time,” said Daniel Kunkel, CEO of ubitricity.

The takeover of the Dutch charge points adds to ubitricity’s growing Continental European network across Germany, France and the Netherlands. To simplify the use of its charge points, all locations will be rebranded physically and digitally to Shell Recharge. This integration will make it easier for EV drivers to find and access EV charging.

Within the Shell Group, the company is the full-service specialist for the expansion of public on-street charging solutions. The team is working closely with Shell to achieve its goal of establishing a global network of over 40,000 public EV charge points.
