Shell has launched three new 180kW ultra-fast EV charging stations in Singapore, located at their Lakeview, Tampines and Pasir Ris service stations

SINGAPORE

Shell has announced the introduction of three new ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Singapore, and the new 180kW chargers are now the fastest public EV chargers available here, being three times faster than the existing 50kW DC chargers that are commonly available around the island. Depending on the model of the car, Shell claims that a 30kWh charging session can be completed in less than 15 minutes.

The three 180kW chargers are located at Shell service stations located at Lakeview, Tampines and Pasir Ris, and Shell adds that these chargers are powered through 100 percent certifiable renewable energy sources. The chargers draw energy from solar panels installed on the rooftops of the service stations, and are integrated with an on-site battery energy storage system (BESS), and Shell’s energy management system helps to control and monitor the consumption of energy for the chargers.

The pilot programme was developed by Shell in collaboration with renewable energy solutions company Eigen Energy, via an innovation grant awarded by the Singapore Energy Market Authority (EMA). Mr Doong Shiwen, General Manager of Mobility Singapore at Shell, said, “These three sustainable fast-charging EV charging stations embody our vision of the future of mobility and push us forward in our goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. We can learn from this pilot to deploy Shell Recharge at locations facing grid constraints to effectively grow Singapore’s EV-charging infrastructure island-wide.”
