Hubject has announced the expansion of its intercharge roaming platform to include Shell Recharge, significantly widening access to public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Europe. This integration allows mobility service providers and EV drivers to utilize Shell’s extensive network through a unified interface, eliminating the need for multiple subscriptions or applications while traveling across borders.
Highlights
- Network Expansion: Shell Recharge joins Hubject’s intercharge platform, connecting thousands of new charging points.
- Seamless Access: Drivers can initiate sessions via RFID, key fob, or mobile app without separate accounts.
- Cross-Border Mobility: The partnership simplifies international travel for EV users across Europe.
- Unified Ecosystem: Reduces fragmentation by consolidating payment and access protocols.
Enhancing European EV Roaming
The integration of Shell Recharge into the intercharge platform addresses a critical challenge in the eMobility sector: infrastructure fragmentation. By connecting Shell’s public charging stations to Hubject’s roaming network, the partnership ensures that technical and commercial barriers between different service providers are removed.
Streamlined User Experience
For electric vehicle drivers, this development offers a tangible improvement in convenience. Users can now locate, authenticate, and pay for charging sessions at Shell Recharge stations using their existing preferred methods.
- Universal Compatibility: Works with existing RFID cards, key fobs, and mobility apps.
- Simplified Payments: Removes the requirement for direct contracts with multiple charge point operators (CPOs).
- Borderless Functionality: Facilitates uninterrupted travel across European countries.
Strategic Industry Impact
Hubject continues to solidify its position as a central enabler of the global eMobility ecosystem. The intercharge platform currently connects thousands of charging points, serving as a digital backbone for seamless connectivity between Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Service Providers (EMPs).
Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration:
“We are excited to deepen our collaboration with Shell Recharge and provide drivers with an even more seamless charging experience. This integration supports our commitment to making EV charging as accessible and frictionless as possible for drivers and OEM partners across Europe.”
