End-to-End Depot Charging Solutions
As businesses face growing pressure to decarbonise, fleets need reliable and cost-effective electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions to power their operations. Depot charging from Shell transforms how fleets charge their EVs with the seamless integration of private, public and semi-public charging solutions, whether drivers are on-the-go or back at the depot.
Depot charging is the process of charging battery electric vehicle (BEV) or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) fleets at the operator鈥檚 depot location. These locations are known as eDepots and can be used privately by operators and their subcontractors 鈥 or opened to the public.What is depot charging?
