ChargeUp Europe, the voice of the EV charging infrastructure industry in Europe, is extremely happy to announce its latest member, Shell, who’s membership reflects the company’s strong commitment to electro-mobility, and its support for the foundational values and objectives of ChargeUp Europe.

Since its launch last year, ChargeUp Europe has now grown to 19 full industry members, two knowledge partners, and three ecosystem partners, all working together to accelerate the rollout of EV charging infrastructure and enable seamless charging for drivers across the EU.

Shell has announced it aims to grow its global network of operated electric vehicle charging points from around 80,000 points today to 500,000 in 2025, as part of the company’s strategy to become a net zero emissions energy company by 2050, in step with society.
