Shell plans to install 50,000 electric vehicle charging points across UK
Wednesday 1 September 2021 08:01, UK
The energy giant is offering to help local authorities pay for the installation of the chargers as part of a push to build new infrastructure ahead of the planned phase-out of petrol and diesel vehicles.
It is part of a push to make more charging points available to drivers without private parking as the government targets a reduction in carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.
The UK plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 – and the switch to electric will mean new infrastructure is needed to power the electric cars that replace them.
