The global oil and gas giant Shell has announced a stunning strategic shift – plans to shut down up to 1,000 retail gas stations in the coming years and pivot towards the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This bold decision marks Shell’s resolute step towards energy transition and profound insight into the future of transportation.

In its latest Energy Transition Strategy report, the UK-based Shell made it clear that it aims to close 500 retail sites per year in 2024 and 2025. This is not a simple retreat but a recognition of the immense potential of the EV market and a precise grasp of future trends.
As the global climate crisis worsens, traditional fuel-powered cars are no longer a sustainable option. EVs, with their zero emissions, low noise, and high efficiency, are gradually becoming the mainstream choice for future travel. Shell’s strategic adjustment aligns with this trend, demonstrating its foresight as an energy leader.
While shutting down gas stations, Shell will focus on expanding its public EV charging network. Currently, Shell has around 54,000 charging points, and by 2030, the company plans to bring the total up to 200,000. This ambitious goal reflects Shell’s deep strength and long-term planning in the EV charging sector.

Notably, Shell will prioritize the development of public charging stations rather than home charging, based on its competitive advantages in the sector and in-depth analysis of future charging needs. By deploying public charging networks, Shell aims to provide more convenient and efficient charging services for EV owners, further driving the popularization of electric vehicles.
As a leading provider of EV charging solutions, SuperX highly applauds Shell’s strategic transformation. We will continue to collaborate closely with Shell to jointly promote the construction and improvement of EV charging networks. We firmly believe that with our joint efforts, EV charging will become more convenient and efficient, contributing to green travel.
Let’s join forces and create a green future together! SuperX looks forward to collaborating with more like-minded partners to write a new chapter of excellence in the EV charging sector!
