This will be the first high-performance charging (HPC) infrastructure EV network in Southeast Asia and Shell’s first cross-country EV infrastructure in the region. This infrastructure will help all EV customers to reduce charging time, book, and pay via an integrated platform.

Shell and Porsche Asia Pacific today announced the start of operations of a HPC station in Tangkak, Johor, Malaysia. Through this partnership, six Shell stations in Malaysia will be outfitted with 180 kilowatt (kW) direct-current (DC) chargers, offering the fastest charging capacity across Malaysia and later right, up to Bangkok, Thailand.  Shell’s partnership with Porsche in meeting the needs of EV customers today is an important initiative under Shell’s Powering Progress strategy to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.

Shell’s new 180kW high-performance chargers are capable of charging EVs at super-fast speeds, which in turn translates to shorter waiting times in between charges. For example, the Porsche Taycan can be charged from zero to 80% battery capacity in around 30 minutes, providing up to 390km (WLTP1) of extra travel distance.

To increase cross-border connectivity, the HPC network will be soon expanded to the next destination: Thailand. Soon, there will be greater access to EV charging points around Bangkok and in tourist cities.

Innovative mobility solutions for a better tomorrow

“At Shell, we strive to powering the progress in making our customers’ lives journey better. We aspire to be the number 1 private e-mobility player in the region and Thailand. It is our great pride for Shell as a leading global energy company to partner with Porsche whose innovation is well pronounced in the automotive industry globally to bring a cutting-edge technology of EV to the region including Thailand. Our partnership is not only to highlight the joint partnership of two leading quality players of both Mobility industries in making customers’ lives journey the best, but also to drive net-zero emission ambitions. We are delighted to continue the extension strategy to introduce more EV chargers in strategic locations across Thailand under Shell Recharge” said Mr. Ruengsak Srithanawiboonchai, Executive Director of Mobility, The Shell Company of Thailand Limited.

“At Porsche, we are committed to driving the future of mobility in Thailand, as we pursue a carbon neutral balance sheet across our entire value chain by the year 2030. Our partnership with Shell is a result of well-aligned sustainability objectives and will further supplement our range of charging solutions for electric vehicle owners, with specific benefits accorded to Porsche owners. With this new high-performance charging network, we are making what was once a vision – long-distance, cross-border emissions-free travel – now a reality,” said Mr. Peter Rohwer, Managing Director, Porsche Thailand – AAS Auto Import Co., Ltd.

Cautionary note

The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this announcement “Shell”, “Shell Group” and “Group” are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words “we”, “us” and “our” are also used to refer to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities. “Subsidiaries”, “Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell companies” as used in this announcement refer to entities over which Royal Dutch Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control. Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as “joint ventures” and “joint operations”, respectively. Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control is referred to as “associates”. The term “Shell interest” is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all third-party interest.

This announcement contains the following forward-looking Non-GAAP measure: Adjusted Earnings. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile the above Non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is dependent on future events some which are outside the control of the company, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Royal Dutch Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
