Biggest Concerns For German Consumers Regarding All-Battery Powered Vehicles

European oil majors have dismissed electric vehicles and charging in the past, but have now come to embrace the new reality. TotalEnergies, BP, and Shell have been acquiring EV charging startups to meet the needs of the growing number of EVs.

Shell plans to become a net-zero-emissions company by 2050 and one of its tools to reach that is Ubitricity, which it acquired in 2021.

Ubitricity stands for Ubiquitous Electricity, and it plans to do just that: make EV charging accessible and available everywhere.

It was established in 2008 and is based in Berlin’s European Energy Forum campus.

Because 60% of residents in Berlin do not have a private parking space, Ubitricity chargers use existing infrastructure in streetlamps supplied with electricity by Shell Energy Retail GmbH’s renewable energies.
