Shell’s first two Electric Vehicle Charging stations are now live!
Branded as ‘Shell Recharge’, this will contribute to the Federal Government’s commitment for a more sustainable energy future. These sites will also offer a suite of value-added services aimed at enhancing the Shell customers experience.
Early in 2021, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Shell Pakistan Limited and K-Electric, pursuant to which, Shell will establish Electric-Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations at strategic locations in Karachi, and KE, in its capacity as Karachi’s sole power supplier, will ensure enhanced power supply to the agreed locations.
Over the next 3 to 5 years, SPL and KE will explore the opportunity of additional sites to strategically expand the EV charging network.
Here is a recap of the MOU signing ceremony
