Energy giant Shell has promised to install 50,000 electric vehicle charge points across the United Kingdom by 2030
David Bunch, Shell UK country chair, said 75% of its investment in UK energy infrastructure over the next decade would be in low and zero carbon projects.Shell's record operating profits of $9.1bn for the start of its financial year, amid the war in Ukraine and spiralling gas prices, has fuelled calls for a windfall tax. This government rejected those calls.
The CCC says 23 million vehicles should be electric by 2032, and all vehicles must by fossil fuel free by 2050, in order for the country to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Shell hopes 11,000 will be rapid chargers, bringing 90% of all UK drivers within a 10-minute drive of one of the units.
