A charging station with a dozen or more stalls is still a rare sight in the US, found mostly along busy interstate routes in the west at the moment—exactly where you’d expect to see such a station. But how about a charging station with 258 fast-charging stalls?
That’s exactly what Shell has opened last month near the airport in Shenzhen, China, in one of the country’s largest cities. The station has already served over 3300 EVs every 24-hour cycle during its trial period prior to its full-scale launch in September, making it Shell’s largest charging station in the country.
The station is more than just a row of charging points. Shell’s Recharge Shenzhen Airport EV Station offers a driver’s lounge, vending machines, a Shell Cafe, and a convenience store.
