To support green transport in the region, Shell Hong Kong Limited has announced a strategic partnership with Hyundai Hong Kong Co. Limited to lead the industry towards supporting the HKSAR government’s plans for enhanced electric vehicle (EV) adoption and drive towards a net zero emission future.

In line with Shell’s roadmap to collaborate with more car factories and stakeholders in providing more than 300 Shell Recharge charging points across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories in the near term, Hyundai will become the first car brand partner for Shell Recharge to expand and promote Shell Recharge network, offer priority use of dedicated charging points as well as charging promotions for Hyundai owners, enhancing their charging experiences.

Emily Leung, General Manager of Mobility at Shell Hong Kong Limited, said: “Shell is committed to improving the experience of drivers. In recent years, we have expanded the EV charging network in a proactive manner to help Hong Kong achieve the goal of low-carbon transportation. We are thrilled to become a strategic partner with Hyundai. Looking ahead, we will leverage the advantages of both parties to encourage wider adoption of EVs and create a seamless charging experience for EV drivers.”

Kevin Lau, Managing Director at Hyundai Hong Kong Co. Limited added: “The Group has always been active in the development of environmentally friendly vehicle technology. We are honoured to cooperate with Shell, allowing the group to utilise Shell’s comprehensive EV charging network to speed up the transition to EVs among Hong Kong people for green transportation.”

The built-in 800V battery system of Hyundai’s flagship EV brand, IONIQ 5, perfectly matches with 300kW Shell Recharge fast-charging station, Hong Kong’s first and fastest charging facility* that was landed in China Hong Kong City (CHKC) in mid-May. The new model can be charged from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes and takes as little as 5 minutes to increase the battery life of up to 100 kilometres. Mid chargers are also setup in Shell Recharge CHKC station and prioritised for use by Hyundai drivers. Shell is dedicated to ensuring Hyundai owners enjoy their driving journey with more similar facilities in near future.

Shell and Hyundai work together to bring along exclusive discounts to EV owners#. Customers who have purchased the original Hyundai electric car maintenance service package will be rewarded with Shell Recharge charging credit to enrich their EV adventures. Hyundai owners can redeem the charging credits with ease via registration at the Shell Recharge website (https://go.shell.com/ShellRecharge) or via the app (https://go.shell.com/iOS or onhttps://go.shell.com/GooglePlay).
