The German mobility and energy sector is undergoing significant infrastructure developments involving Shell and other major providers.

Initially, DKV Mobility and Shell expanded their strategic partnership to provide full network coverage across Germany, integrating approximately 440 additional Shell stations into the DKV Mobility network. This collaboration also focused on technological advancements, including enhanced chip card technology and digital in-vehicle app integration for refueling.

Following this, Shell shifted focus toward modernizing its ‘Shell Recharge’ electric vehicle network by upgrading 150 fast-charging points across more than 40 German locations to improve technical stability. Concurrently, the Austrian utility EVN entered the German market by acquiring 100 percent of BayWa Mobility Charging, a move that includes 30 locations and 170 fast-charging points, with plans to expand to 306 charging points by 2027.
