Account-based charging via RFID or Mobility App


Use your RFID card / tag or your Mobility App as usual. The prerequisite is that your E-Mobility Service Provider (EMSP) supports our Shell Recharge points. The tariffs of your EMSP apply.

 

  • To start the charging process, use your RFID card, your RFID tag or the Mobility App of your E-Mobility Service Provider (EMSP) as usual.
  • Billing is also done as usual via your account with the EMSP.

Step 1 – (START)

Ad-hoc Charging


 

  • If you do not have an account with an E-Mobility Service Provider (EMSP), simply use the QR code / NFC tag above one of the two charge points to authorise the charging process.
  • To do so, follow the instructions on the mobile website after scanning the QR code / NFC tag.
  • The rates per kWh are displayed online before payment (Apple Pay / Google Pay / credit card). Payment is made after the charging process.
