4 Wheelar EV Charging System

Powering more of the cars we drive with electricity will be essential to address growing CO2 emissions and air pollution in cities. As more electric car models become available, they will also become a more affordable choice for people and businesses.

How will we charge the cars of the future?

EV Charging System

Electric vehicles are cars and other forms of mobility that use an electric motor as their main source of propulsion, rather than a conventional engine. They also have their energy stored in batteries. There are three main types of electric vehicles: battery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and plug in hybrid electric vehicles.

Battery electric vehicles are all-electric cars that rely on their batteries as the only source of energy. Hybrid electric vehicles and plug in hybrid electric vehicles combine an electric drive with a conventional fuel engine. Unlike traditional cars, which usually only refuel at petrol stations, electric cars have the potential to be recharged at home, at work or on the go. They can also be charged in shared locations such as forecourts, car parks or supermarkets.




Speed, availability and reliability of charging infrastructure are currently the biggest potential deterrents to buying an electric car.

Shell believes this could change with better access to a choice of recharging options that are suited to the needs of customers and their lifestyles. This could include smart regular chargers, ideal for those charging overnight at their homes or during working hours. It could also include high-powered faster chargers, designed for when drivers are between destinations and in need of a quick top up

Better and more efficient recharging

Power

Low-carbon energy sources such as wind farms and photovoltaic (PV) systems turn energy from wind or light into the electricity needed to meet the needs of commercial, industrial and residential customers.
As one of the world’s largest energy suppliers, Shell is exploring how to serve the world’s increasing number of electric car drivers, both on our forecourts and beyond.
These initiatives are part of Shell’s wider drive to provide more and cleaner energy solutions around the world.




Charging for fleet companies


Modern fleet companies are changing. Some are gradually moving towards electric or hybrid vehicles, while others have made the switch entirely and they need reliable chargers at their base or employee homes as well as easy access to a wide range of charging options while on the go.

Shell helps fleet companies to transition to electric vehicles simply and cost effectively, to manage costs and to reduce emissions in the process.

With the Shell Card, fleet customers have an integrated solution, with the ability to pay for charging, fuel and other mobility expenses – all with one card, one supplier and on one invoice.

Developing smarter charging technologies

As electric charging networks grow to provide electric vehicle drivers access to a wide and reliable infrastructure, electricity systems will need to be prepared to supply the additional power required.

Intelligent charging technologies can help to ensure the smooth integration of electric vehicles into the electricity system by, for example, adjusting charging times and speed of charge. This can be especially useful for managing variations in wind and solar power.

Innovative vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging systems allow electric vehicles to supply electricity to the local power network when supplies are tight.

NewMotion is working on the development of an innovative V2G charging system to enable electric vehicles to supply electricity to the local power network when supplies are tight. V2G power control effectively turns an electric vehicle into a back-up battery that can help grid operators balance electricity demand and supply.
