Shell Fleet Solutions has added Source’s UK ultra-rapid charging hubs to the Shell Card roaming network.

The new partnership means Shell Card holders can now charge at Source’s UK ultra-rapid hubs using their existing card.

Shell Card already gives fleet customers access to more than 72,000 public EV charge points across the UK and the new deal gives drivers another way to charge.

Source plans to open 300 ultra-rapid charging hubs across the UK and Ireland by 2030. All hubs feature at least 150kW chargers, allowing drivers to add substantial range in around 15 minutes for most vehicles.

Every Source hub is built around a 99%+ uptime target, backed by smart monitoring and real-time availability updates so drivers can check a charger’s status before arriving. Sites are powered by renewable energy and support contactless payment as standard.

Alice Aprile-Smith, head of partnerships and business development at Source, said: “Since opening our first hub a little over a year ago, we’ve added more than half a dozen roaming partners, including Shell Fleet Solutions, to give drivers and fleets more choice in how they charge. Every partnership we add makes reliable charging more accessible for the thousands of EV and fleet drivers who depend on us every day.”

The partnership adds to the growing number of ways Source is making public EV charging easier for drivers, from its network of roaming partners to the SourceConnect app, which lets users locate available hubs in real time, start a charge by scanning a QR code, and track their session live.
