Shell Macau Petroleum Company said in a statement yesterday that it has officially launched its first electronic vehicle (EV) charging station in Macau, marking a key step in expanding sustainable mobility solutions in the city.
The new Shell Recharge station, located in the basement carpark of StarWorld Hotel in Nape, is equipped with two fast-charging points and six medium-charging points, according to Shell. Supporting both Guobiao (GB) and the Combined Charging System (CCS) standards, the station is compatible with a wide range of EV models, the statement added.
GB is the official, national standard charging plug for electric vehicles in the Chinese mainland, whereas CCS is the most common international standard charging plug, combining AC and DC charging into a single inlet, used in North America and Europe.
The facility is powered by Shell Recharge’s management system, which allows drivers to manage and pay for charging sessions through the Shell Recharge website or mobile app, the statement said.
According to Shell, the launch demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing convenient charging solutions for local EV users. Berry Wong, general manager of mobility Hong Kong and Macau at Shell Hong Kong Limited, said that the company is actively exploring new locations for expansion. “We plan to introduce charging facilities at existing traditional fuel stations, empowering electric vehicle drivers with greater convenience on their journeys,” she said.
Shell noted in the statement that mobility solutions should enhance accessibility while supporting sustainability. By the end of 2024, the company operated about 73,000 public charging points worldwide, spanning service stations, transport hubs, roadside locations, and supermarkets, the statement said, adding that the new facility aims to reinforce Shell’s global commitment to building infrastructure for the growing EV market.
