Shell wins tender to provide electric vehicle charging at 415 HDB carparks

Doong Shiwen, General Manager, Shell Mobility Singapore said, “We can now bring Shell Recharge even closer to many of our customers, contributing to the country’s most significant step towards its EV charging infrastructure target. With nearly 80 per cent of Singaporeans living in HDB estates, having convenient and reliable EV charging where they live enables EV adoption at scale. As we expand our charging network, we will also continue exploring other innovative solutions, such as fast-charging hubs and lamp post charging.”

Shell will also deploy its proprietary smart charging solutions as part of the tender. Some HDB carparks only have sufficient power capacity to support existing infrastructure such as lights and lifts. However, these infrastructure do not always require electricity throughout the day. The smart charging system can monitor the amount of power that is available and safely distribute optimal power to the EV chargers. For example, when lifts and lights are not in use, the smart charging system can allocate more power to the EV chargers. Hence, smart charging will help avoid or delay costly and time-consuming grid upgrades and speed up the deployment of charging infrastructure at HDB carparks.

Beyond smart charging, Shell has other proven EV charging innovations in its global portfolio that may be relevant to the Singapore market. Examples of such innovations that Shell will continue to explore include:

• Ubitricity, a member of the Shell Group, works with local authorities in United Kingdom (UK), Germany and France to turn lamp posts into EV charging posts, allowing for rapid expansion of charging infrastructure without grid upgrade. This technology could be applicable to HDB open-air carparks where there is overnight season parking; and
• In Fulham, UK, Shell converted a fuel station into an all-EV charging hub. This hub features nine 150kW charging points, solar panels, a comfortable seating area, barista-made coffee and a more extensive shopping selection. 

Besides the ongoing pilot to integrate solar power with energy storage, smart charging and up to 180kW EV charging at three Shell stations in Singapore, Shell is also exploring a utility-scale solar farm at the Semakau landfill, and separately, the import of renewable electricity. Shell’s active participation across multiple energy transition initiatives demonstrates its resolve to support the government in meeting Singapore’s long-term climate commitments.

By the end of the year, Shell Recharge will be available at half of Shell’s service stations islandwide and at malls and offices. Customers in Singapore can expect to access more than 150 charging points in the Shell Recharge app. Shell is a pioneer in Singapore’s EV charging sector that introduced the country’s first EV charger in a service station in 2019.

Shell’s net carbon footprint

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Footprint” or “Net Carbon Intensity”, which include Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Footprint” or “Net Carbon Intensity” are for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Footprint (NCF) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCF target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. 

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
