Shell to install 100K charge points in the UK by 2030

Makes sense. They've a tonne of real estate in terms of petrol stations. Repurposing it with fast charging + maybe a coffee shop seems like a relatively easy way to utilise that space.

They only have a few thousand petrol stations. It looks like all or the vast majority of the charging stations will be the roadside/lamppost variety (incredibly cheap and quick to install as there’s already power next to the road)

Do they actually own the stations in the UK? I’m pretty sure most if not all Shells in the US are franchises.

I wasn’t sure myself so checked before commentating and read that it’s a mix of franchise/owned by the petrol company. That could easily be wrong though.
