Shell N.V.’s Belgian business has formed a partnership with Redevco, one of Europe’s largest privately-owned real estate managers with a focus on dynamic urban locations and more than 20 years of experience, to install 330 twin charging stations for electric vehicles. The alliance between the two companies comes in response to the fast-growing demand for EV charging stations. Together the partners plan to place the Shell Recharge points at 58 of Redevco’s retail parks across Belgium by the end of 2024, providing a convenient service for customers to recharge their vehicles while shopping. Following this expansion, Shell will offer a total of 435 EV charging stations across the country as part of its goal to have 500,000 public EV charge station in operation worldwide by 2025.
The new Shell Recharge stations will create a total of 660 EV charge points at Redevco’s retail parks which include hyper- and supermarkets, DIY and electrical appliance stores, car centres, restaurants, and various service providers. The first of the 58 locations include Auderghem, Borsbeek, Drogenbos, Herstal, Korbeek-Lo and Waterloo.
This type of partnership is hugely important for both Shell and Redevco as part of their efforts to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources and lead the development of the EV charging infrastructure throughout Belgium. Redevco focuses on creating sustainable and liveable urban environments and its partnership with Shell will help play a key role in greening its retail parks across the country.
