Shell to vastly expand EV charging network in Britain

The expansion is part of a government-backed push to rapidly grow Britain's electric vehicle fleet in line with a target to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.

Royal Dutch Shell on Wednesday announced plans to vastly expand its network of electric vehicle charging points in Britain, aiming to install 50,000 on-street posts by 2025.
