Idle Fees by Country and Region
Shell Recharge keeps things simple for charging your electric vehicle in the UK. You typically just pay the per-kWh rate for the electricity you use. There are no transaction fees if you use the Shell Recharge app at their stations (including forecourts, Waitrose, and some Aldi locations) or pay directly with contactless payment. However, if you use the roaming network (stations operated by other companies), a small £0.35 transaction fee applies to each charging session, capped at a maximum of £7.00 per month. It's always a good idea to double-check the specific rates on the Shell Recharge app or website before plugging in, especially when using the roaming network.
