As a response to the growing demand for EVs, Pilipinas Shell has opened its first-ever charging station in the country. The Shell Recharge site is located at Shell Mamplasan on the northbound side of the South Luzon Expressway.
The Shell Recharge station is equipped with two 180kWh DC fast chargers, both with CCS2 connectors. According to Shell, an average EV vehicle can fully recharge in about 30 minutes. Charging costs P65 per minute.
Shell also announced that it’s offering the Nature-based Carbon Offset Service to its customers.
For an additional service fee of P2.50 per liter, customers can opt to compensate the equivalent carbon emissions from their fuel purchase and help Shell in conserving the environment. The total number of liters purchased with carbon offsets by customers are then assigned the equivalent carbon credits from Shell’s independently verified global portfolio of Shell NBS afforestation, reforestation, and conservation projects. These carbon credits are then retired by Shell on behalf of the customer.
Pilipinas Shell plans to open eight more Shell Recharge stations this year.
