Learn why Shell Recharge partnered with Eseye to power Europe’s largest charging network.
The Shell Recharge network is a rapidly growing worldwide network of public fast chargers, enabling drivers to seamlessly recharge their vehicles at convenient places while on the road. Shell Recharge offers fast and ultra-fast charging at Shell stations and access to over 250,000 public charge points in 35 countries.
Shell Recharge planned to open EV charge stations in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, the UK, and Norway. However, their multi-regional deployment needed some thought. Certain regions faced roaming restrictions which can affect connectivity levels. Shell Recharge sought reliable, high connectivity providers who would make their vision into a reality and become partners for the long road ahead.
Every year, Shell Recharge IoT-enabled EV charging solutions are helping to save the planet over 2,000 tonnes of carbon yearly, contributing to a clean generation for the future.
Shell Recharge is Europe’s largest charging partner providing access to 300,000 charge points in over 35 countries, supported by Eseye’s truly global cellular connectivity.
Thanks to reliable widespread connectivity, Shell Recharge successfully supplies clean electricity smart solutions for its loyal customer’s businesses, homes, and charging on the go needs.

Read case studyDeploying hundreds or thousands of charge points across a country on a single mobile network will mean 15–25% without a reliable connection. Given that charge points aspire to be in action for a decade or more with minimum human intervention, it’s important that they reliably perform. And they can only perform at their best if they have excellent connectivity. Connectivity, in fact, is a critical foundation to the EV charge point operation including payment processing, software updates, scheduling, promotions, and user analytics.
Shell Recharge sought an intelligent connectivity solution that would enable them to monitor and remotely manage every one of their charge points across Europe with ease and efficiency. In addition, the connectivity solution needed to port the customer charging data back to the server and provide it to the customer through a user-friendly App and online charge portal.
Eseye was chosen because we can deliver global connectivity in even the most remote and challenging locations.
Instead of installing different SIM cards at each location; rather, Shell Recharge uses Eseye’s single AnyNet+ SIM across its entire estate and accesses near 100% connectivity.
A single AnyNet+ SIM card comes pre-loaded with up to ten IMSI profiles – allowing access to ten different networks – so the EV charge points always have multiple communication options.
Our single IoT eSIM gives Shell Recharge access to local data rates on 700+ mobile networks across 190+ countries. When it comes to billing, it couldn’t be easier with a single invoice for all global connectivity – simple.
Eseye’s global support team provides highly responsive technical support to ensure continued network uptime and service reliability.
