According to a report, Shell, a major US company, is closing 500 locations by 2025 to focus on expanding its electric vehicle (EV) charging network, including in California.

Shell’s 2024 Energy Transition Strategy details this move, emphasizing a shift from traditional fuel stations to meet evolving consumer demands for sustainable energy solutions.

Shell stated in the Strategy, "We are looking to strengthen our global retail and lubricants marketing businesses as the energy transition evolves." This highlights Shell's commitment to adapting to customer needs.

Although the specific locations affected remain undisclosed, this strategic pivot signifies a modest reduction in Shell's global footprint, aiming to bolster its EV charging capabilities in key markets such as the US, China, and Europe.
