- A rapid charger in a Shell forecourt, in the middle of London. I never thought I'd see that. Well, it's happened, you can use it today.
Will electric car drivers use them?
Will Shell install loads of them?
We certainly hope so.

PSA: Not all Brits have to wear hi-vis at gas stations, Robert is special like that.
David Lulham No open flames on the forecourt, it’s political correctness gone mad!
PPE bro.
nomoreheroes93 I like to. Makes me feel like a real man 🙂
Yeh and not all Brits live in London...
So they're adding 10 charge points this year. They are "learning" how this works. In 2017.
Folks, stop trying to fool us. Here in Austria, the local oil company "OMV" bought a huge stake in the most prevalent EV charge network "Smatrics". You guessed it, pricing is now at a level where you'd actually spend less money by driving a gasoline car.
I don't believe for a second that Shell or any other oil company is embracing EV chargers to enhance electric mobility. They embrace to extinguish.
Toumal Rakesh if you're conservative about your driving.. You'll never need one of these stations except on long trips.
Yes, and no. The Writing is on the wall for fossil fuels. OMV, are doing it; because, they have sweet FA competition. Once people cotton on like you, quit posting comments on UA-cam, and post a video taking the piss out of OMV, I am sure you will see them about face. If Shell, get in this to wreck it they'll only make themselves vulnerable to innovations by those who aren't in it to screw it.
Here’s an idea to keep paying simple.
1. Plug in car and leave to charge.
2. Go into the kiosk and pay for how much electricity it used.
After all that seems to work really well for petrol and diesel right?
Yes, and it gets footfall into the retail shop whereby you might purchase some other stuff?? Win win for all parties
@@MsDmcclymont one of my prime reasons to get the Leaf for wifey was she was spending at least 100 a month in them shops , now all I pay is £225 on pcp a month and £40 on electricity
Absolutely. Of all people gas stations should get that.
@@Joiedevivredesilives Well you fail... and rightfully so... you didn't state the price of the Leaf to her, that way you'd get lots of "favors" as well....
They will go into the shop anyway, because the 50kw is going to take about 30 mins+ for a 100 mile charge.
49p what the! It's like Shell don't want people to own Electric Vehicles - oh - hold on of course they don't!
Peter Brazier they assume if you can afford an electric vehicle, that you can afford a power bill of some sort.
They shouldnt own elec vehicles drax pumps out 60% more co2 burning wood chips from america in place of coal and call it carbon neutral because it grows ! Haha awesome were doomed proof the green idea is a brown one
@@joekelly9369 can you translate that into English please?
2:30 We try to keep really simple. 2:45. You need an app! I want to scream
Mark Atkin : yip, that was mental .. why not just have a credit card machine?
So they can understand how many people wants this. And you can see the nearest charger station
Update: I have seen other videos where they have a contactless machine
For Shell, this is what being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century looks like!
You just wait, the capitalist market will solve that for you, just like bitcoin and everything els new will be dragged down in the old economic models
Why have an app???? Just swipe your card like a regular gas pump.
I think it's because you can't know the price until after it's charged. And they are never gonna let you charge before paying.
ReedError It's the same for fuel. The pump requests an authorization on your card (about 120 € around here) and you are charged the exact amount, not the maximum.
I think you get charge status from the app as well, and alerts
So they can understand how many people wants this. And you can see the nearest charger station
@@pbs36 shell are working on that now debit card payment system, i hate it when they MAKE you subscribe its why i resent ecotricity and polar, whereas instavolt had the right idea from the very start shell were late comers
Supermarkets and shopping centres should also being doing far more. Charging while doing your weekly food shop is far more convenient in my eyes than hanging about a Shell petrol station
In my local area, Aberdeen Scotland, Lidl and Aldi have rapid chargers. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, M&S and Morrison’s have not one..HUGE car parks that would be ideal for charging. Disappointing that these companies aren’t investing and helping climate change
I think they will soon a lot of supermarkets sell fuel now so charging stations would be the next step
And wait for the prices of food and services to rise to pay for it..
Stopped off there a week ago for a splash and dash on the way to MK . Charge cost £2.57 , which would have been £5 on EH . I had no problems whatsoever with the app or connection .
I love the smell of the new electrics in the morning
It smells like.... the future!
I love the smell of rapid electrons in the morning
I liked the humility of Jane. We haven't done this before and intend to learn from the customer. That's a great start.
Particularly liked the way the taxi has parked at 90 degrees to the forecourt markings.
Why is it so hard to just have a contactless card or even just a standard 'pay at pump'? Surely the process of metering the power and forwarding the cost is as old as industry itself?
"This is the first one, in the WORLD." -- RL of Fully Charged
// Well done.
Robert was clear that was the first _Shell_ installation.
first installation in a *gas station*
Still not a world first. Hundreds of fast chargers in affiliation with gas stations in Norway already.
Still not the first! Total got it early.
I think he has to say this. 🙄🤝☠️
Great to see Shell is at the forefront of this new initiative
Me and my son met Robert at a Comic Con in 2012 at Wrexham, what a lovely bloke, top man. My lad greeted him with "smeeeg heeead", I'm sure he's never heard that before lol!!!!!
Hi Robert, Thank You for asking those awkward questions. Very informative!
Why cant you just pay with your creditcard at the charger?
niklas981000 So that the money lands off shore without leaving any real transaction history and they dont have to pay taxes.
This is the problem. In Ny or say London. If I need to pick something up downtown. Pull up start charging go do what I have to do and come back in 30 or so minutes. Way cheaper than paying for parking.
Great to see the electric car movement taking off more and more everyday. Good for Shell.
Its only been suppressed for 120 years.
anyone actually watching the video, she told him that the price will be set,
from client feedback, and how the market is in 2018.
The green'er energy we get the lower the market price will be, so keep up the good work.
Every time she says we need to learn it warms my heart idk why but it does.
It's half price now until june, after that we can't say what the price will be.
It's just half of what we don't know. Half price people, HALF PRIIIIICE. Sighh.....
half of half is 6 or 25 or 1. All I know is they will receive exactly zero of my money.
Great channel. I am a big fan of yours. Love Scrapheap challenge. Keep up with the great work. I do have a request though.....PLEASE bring back Junkyard wars/Scrapheap challenge. It was one of the best shows ever!!!!
Your show was spot on .
We're hoping we can screw a few more quid out of customers by selling them overpriced food and drink while they wait. Precisely nothing to do with the environment.
The American way lol and yes I know they are not in America but this is so American
Happy to see portuguese tecnology from Efacec in England. We already have that kind of chargers in Portugal, nationalwide. I have a Tesla S and I'm enjoying it a lot. Nice videos!
Nice umbrella, great interview!!
This show is unique and awesome!
Good start! A momentus day. Love the vids!
This is great progress!!!👍
Credit where it's due Robert Shell have gone into renewable big time. They packed up and left the oil sands in two years and to utterly remodel the business plan internationally is monumental thanks for being open and receptive true professional integrity thanks mate!
Yes, yes, yes and yes, this is awesome! One small step for Shell, one giant leap for ICE reduction. I liked how humble the lady was about it all, "we're learning". Got to start somewhere.
Considering the size of their car parks, I’m surprised Tesco, Asda, Morrison’s and other major supermarket chains haven’t jumped on this idea. Charge whilst you shop. They could easily install a bay of 8-10 chargers with solar and a canopy whilst you shop!
Kudos to Shell for "blazing the trail"......THIS is the way it should be done!!
Nice! I understand if you didn't want to discourage this type of move by a petrol company but I'd have loved to see her reaction/response to the question, "How much has this decision been motivated by the requirement to do so by the government in a few years time?" Hate to be cynical but I think if there hadn't been emphasis placed by the government, I seriously doubt they would have done so any time soon!
That is cool. A very good sign of things to come.
Good job Shell! Keep it up!
Top notch reporting, Robert, as always. We're so behind in the US with charging stations. Not sure I'd be too enticed to use this one at that price but at least it's a step in the right direction.
I'm dying every time you say "In the world"
Excellent - SHELL!
Please, please, please install one of these in your Lewisham High Street station near the general hospital.
I hope that in 2018 they start installing these things in every shell station. America is really hurting for rapid chargers in some cities.
I love the way she said they will be relying on ICE owners not to park there. If the parking spaces are all full then it will get used by someone regardless of what type of car they own.
Never mind the public, they'll have to tell their own staff not to park there. I've tried charging at a garage in London before, its a nightmare.
Robert, I agree, if the petrol pumps have a canopy, the electric charger should have one.
I like the LEAF at 4:00 driving by! :)
Build it and they will come 😊
Did I see a red and white chain barrier in the background? Sorry, we're closed for filming
Fantastic! Won't be long until the pumps under the canopy are all rapid chargers!
For a video sponsored by Shell, you did well to be quite impartial. Thanks. NB: 10 charge stations really is quite small - hopefully this lady gets far more budget to develop her department...
Love this episode, keep up the good work.
Will shell charge extra for super electricity charge ?
Lol
I mean will they charge more for fast charge than slow charge .
I have located what I presume to be the recharging socket, but for some strange reason it doesn't appear to have the standard three-pin adaption. Now, do I have to use some kind of special adaptor? Because no matter what I do, the lead just keeps falling out.
Looking at this from outside the UK, Wow, congratulations Shell (and maybe BP). Althought 25p /kwh appears expensive for electricity, the convenience and no other cost has to make that very attractive. Eventually the price / kwh will be set by competition (or a lack thereof). Great move Shell. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.
So you have been bought by shell. Nice.
Its a brilliant way to get customers so spent time and money at any retail business.
Hi Rob. Brilliant video, as usual. You end the video by saying "the first station in the world doing that" ... Well, admitedly, it's not a rapid charger, but Z (the new zealand brand for shell) has had a charger in their petrol station, Wellington, New Zealand, for a few years now. Yes, it's not more than a wall socket around which a a charging station has been built, but it's free, and it gets the message out :)
Shell has retreated from the NZ market - they sold to Z. Portent of things to come in many markets. No way to make money from very expensive real estate selling chips and pop with no parts or repair services like traditional gas stations, and most people charging cheaply at home or work.
I'm so exited about this
If Shell roll this out, they’ll be one of the largest EV charging companies, surely? If BP are jumping aboard too... Wow!
Not at 50p a KWh they won't
Robert goes from petrol head to electric guru. Great content as always. UA-cam is the future of entertainment /infotainment.
What a great channel fully charged is. #letshavecarolbackon.
Had a horrible experience at Shell station, Chertsey Road, Addlestone on 30 Nov 17 when I tried to use one of their new rapid chargers. First of all, a Merc SUV had iced the only charging bay.
After waiting for some time my wife, Christine went on the hunt. A guy eventually saunters back to his SUV and sits in it while the Shell Manager loaded goods into the back of the SUV while Christine and I waited in the freezing cold.
I asked the manager why he was acquiescing in the icing of the charging bay. His indignant retort was, "What am I supposed to do, he's a customer?!"
When I said that I would report the matter to Shell he was unfazed. He said, "Go ahead; I don't care!" It then dawned on me that the SUV driver was almost certainly his boss. I guess that means the owner of the franchised station. I may be wrong about that but Christine observed him coming from behind the counter with the manager.
After all that, we couldn't get the charger to work. Called the support line. After 20 mins on the phone (mainly on hold) I was told that the Smoov app wasn't working. We spent the best part of an hour to get zero charge from Shell!
If anyone here could connect me with the appropriate person at Shell Recharge, somebody who cares about this sort of customer experience, I'd be very grateful. End of rant. Thanks for listening!
One slot. ONE PARKING SLOT. Space and time is the HUGE issue. I see this as a marketing move by Shell.
Well done Shell!
Never very often you say this:
Well done Shell
I don't think shell can stop themselves from going extinct
Very interesting hope they install a lot more!!!
2021, my local Royal Farm (Gas station) has Charge points at a few stations already. Nice to see it.
That great, Petro Canada has done the same along the trans Canada highway from cost to cost in the last few years.They have install 350kw charger. I use them a few times last summer.
LOVE IT !
Stunning news!
Great that shell see what the future is at last.
Great decision!
Actually in Bulgaria there are already 2 Shell petrol stations which instaled DC rapid chargers and planning to expand to 16 charging locations till March 2018. They are doing this in partnership agreement with company El Drive which is into partnership with Finland's Fortum Charge & Drive
Marian Atanasov sounds good! Are they shell branded pumps like this one as well?
+Tom Mowlam No, their branded with El Drive
I feel like we (EV owners) are hiking.... and.... we can finally see the summit. Thanks for covering this tidbit of the future.
If they really are listening to customers, I think they will want to reduce that price somewhat. When you compare it with charging at home, it is silly money.
It's still promising though.
Fantastic, petrol stations are always in a good and handy location, would need to be cheaper, but it’s a start, a good start
thx for this very nice information from london. Thats the right step to the future :-) Hopefully comes more allover the world. But, i will have more informations about this "black cap" plz. Maby you can make a extra video over this? Best regards from germany Tino
Go Efacec!! Thank you for your great channel and to show some good products, in this case an Efacec Quick Charger from the company I work in :p
I'm sure BP will love you for pointing out that they're "miffed that Shell beat them to it" ;)
Do the brit's measure electric in buckets/ pints or barrels?
Kjetil Bråte No, we only measure cum in those small quantities
I’ll have a pint of electricity.
You could be onto something here.
furlongs & nibblets for high voltage DC
+Kjetil Brate The britt's use Watts to measure electrical power, after all Mr Watt was a brit (Scottish actually).
Whiskey in My Scotland.
love your channel. Personally I'm very skeptical of Shell's motives... and who wants to spend time in a smelly gas station? There are many nicer places to charge.
Randy Mackay Ive been thinking that libraries and grocery stores are the best places for fast chargers.
Not really in central London. I think this is Shell getting ready for the non-petrol future.
Most ‘gas’ stations being built or refurbished here tend to have either a small supermarket or some sort of food outlet in them now.
In Romania most of the chargings are being done in the malls, although in the center of London I guess there is not enough space for this.
Only chargers I have seen in Bangkok are also in the malls.
Nice to see a all electric black cab.
Well done Robert there finally listening
Can multiple cars charge here at the same time? I.E. if they have different charger connections can they plug in together @fullychargedshow?
This is such a major "battle" won! I mean I would never give any of my money to Shell, but still, if they're jumping on this train, that's huge!
Amazing!
This is really exciting stuff im so happy to see coming in fruition. I think even in the next 5 years we will see a huge shift towards electric. It is definitely going to replace the combusty! Then in tandem all of the renewable energy sources will become available which is also great. I think with what im seeing here we will need to have 1 standard nozzle and instead of using paypass i see no reason why the car wouldnt have an id chip linked to your rego so it knows who owns the car and just bills them that way. Also need to figure out charging arrangements for those of us with no garage but hey it's early days. Love it!!!
Lessons: 1) under a canopy to protect from the weather, 2) solar pv panels across the main canopy & shop building, 3) battery storage, 4) dedicated charging (parking) bay, 6) be cheap or it wont be used
nice video Robert
Whenever I hear someone in a conversation going out of their way to call the other person by name every second or third sentence ("Well as you know, [insert name], our company has always held the public health to be of the utmost importance." and "That's an excellent question, [insert name again], and I think we'll meet that challenge in the next year or two.") it sounds so incredibly artificial.
It's so obvious that they've attended a corporate management class that's held that up as "A way to maximize engagement opportunities with the public, improving synergies and laying positive groundwork for the highest possible blahblahblah!".
I've run into people in real life who do that, and it always made me want to just shake them, and tell them that real people don't talk that way.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
What do you do while its charging? It still takes very long to charge and getting a coffee only takes 10 minutes
The thing I find most interesting is that around 40 seconds in you see Robert walking through the forecourt where if you look carefully there are notices saying no phones. Does any one see the issue here? Yep you can only pay and connect to charge the phone using an app on a smartphone in an area that phones are not allowed. I assume I missed something and there's a Faraday cage around the car charge area or something magical like that.
Wow Robert, this happened weeks ago, i didn't know editing took that long!
Finally! - this is what anyone without a driveway/car parking spot needs to seriously consider an electric vehicle, Let's hope they roll these out across lots of locations quickly and rapid charging becomes the norm alongside as i can see space/car parking whilst charging being an issue if not considered carefully
Shell, Time for America to get Electric Recharge stations at our USA Shell Gas Stations!!!
What about a few videos on the manufacturers of charging points, I am sure they would like to showcase their ideas. thanks for the great videos.
Thank you again Robert; Well that was an eye-opener (for me anyway), some Hackney Cabs are electric now?!!
Something I would like to see is shopping markets and malls have more charging stations. If I go to either one I usually spend more than 40 mins and depending on the speed of the charging that could mean a full battery. Plus it means more time spent at either one which means potentially more business for them.
So when they add solar and wind power (BP) to the forecourt and their power is free will they still charge 50p per kWh?
fantastic news!
I don't know how long it takes for charge, but is there someone to move the vehicles around if there's more than one car that needs to be charged? Obviously you don't want someone sitting there all day if they are already charged up, but what if they cannot come back to move it immediately?
A step in the right direction for sHELL but a long way to go.
Something I've not seen mentioned in other comments is that EV's take a while to charge so even a top-up is going to take 15 mins or so compared to the 5 mins for filling with petrol. This is a massive advantage to the filling station as their shop income from coffee, food etc will jump massively if in the future there are several fast chargers and several thirsty, hungry, bored car owners hanging about. This is a very good move by Shell & BP as they know it will increase their profits long-term (and is good green PR for them)
Hi Robert. Love your channel, have been a viewer for a long time. I just need to correct one of the thing you mention tonight. In that here in Ireland we have many 50 kW
Chargers in petrol stations/garage forecourts. If you require any photographic evidence please let me know. Regards Séamus
Petrol stations know they make most of their money in the shop now as the margins are much higher. This is great to keep customers in the service station shops longer (just as Supermarkets are)...
More options is always a good thing
