\u201cEV drivers are looking for a charging experience that is faster and more convenient, and for ways to reduce emissions from their driving,\u201d said Amr Adel, Senior Vice President for Shell Mobility Asia.<\/strong> \u201cWith the world\u2019s borders opening further, drivers are also looking more reliable charging points, especially for long distances across countries. As the first HPC infrastructure EV network in Southeast Asia and Shell\u2019s first cross-country EV infrastructure in the region, that is precisely what our Shell Recharge EV network offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today\u2019s launch reinforces our successful partnership with Porsche and extends our growing HPC network through Singapore, Malaysia to Thailand, to increasingly help EV drivers to charge wherever they need to. Shell is determined to play a vital role in the energy transition through decarbonising mobility, by collaborating with our partners and customers,\u201d Adel added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through this partnership, eleven Shell stations in Thailand will be outfitted with 180 kW and 360 kW DC chargers, offering the fastest charging capacity in the country and allowing for emission-free travel from the southern province of Songkhla, to the northern province of Chiang Mai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At 180 kW charging speeds, a Porsche Taycan can go from a 0% State of Charge (SoC) to 80% in around 30 minutes, providing up to 390 km (WLTP) of driving range. At 270 kW, the maximum rate at which the Taycan can be charged, this figure is reduced to just over 22 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to making emission-free travel possible along a 2,200-kilometre corridor across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, this partnership also accords special benefits to new Porsche Taycan owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Taycan owners in Thailand receive complimentary Platinum membership for three years; during this time, they enjoy a host of benefits, including 50% off the Pay-Per-Use (PPU) rate, complimentary pre-reservation up to one hour before arriving at any Shell HPC site, and 10,000 Shell GO+ points for redeeming discounts on Shell products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Thailand and Malaysia, users of the Sharge and ParkEasy apps will enjoy an even more seamless experience, as both apps will be integrated to allow access to the entire network of Shell HPC and Porsche Destination Charging sites in both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All electric vehicle owners in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand will also be able to use the Shell HPC Network via a PPU rate, or subscribe to a membership plan according preferential rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Porsche Asia Pacific and Shell announce today the launch of the first Shell High Performance Charging (HPC) site in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":77348,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13941,117,3540],"tags":[14846,14847,10128],"class_list":["post-77347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marketing","category-business-en","category-sustainability-en","tag-porsche","tag-high-performance-charging-site","tag-shell-2"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shell-High-Performance-Charging2.jpg\")
