Shell Recharge/Ubitricity

This Shell Recharge/Ubitricity station in London provides 5 kW peak AC charging. It uses Type 2 sockets, meaning drivers need to bring their own cable. The operator is Shell Recharge Solutions. This setup is best suited for EV drivers who need a slower AC charge for local trips or an overnight top-up rather than a rapid fill-up. EV charging in London can be a mix of speeds, and this station falls on the slower side. A 5 kW charging speed typically adds about 15 to 20 miles of range per hour of charging. For context, a full charge at this speed could take many hours, depending on your vehicle's battery size. It’s more practical for topping up while you are parked for an extended period, like at home or work, or during a longer stop in the city. Consider this a local solution, not a quick stop on a long journey.
