BYD and Shell have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to improve charging avalability for battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) owners.
The collaboration starts in China and Europe and will extend to other regions.
For private and commercial customers, BYD and Shell will form a pan-European Mobility Service Provider (MSP) offering membership access to 275,000 charging points through the Shell network. Both companies will also jointly develop fleet products and depot charging services in Europe.
Both companies will provide integrated home energy products such as dynamic tariff scheduling, solar integration, home batteries and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charging.
Both will consider building EV hubs in European countries offering charging and digital services developed jointly.
Customers will be offered participation in the Accelerate to Zero (A2Z) decarbonisation programme, which enables corporate fleets to reduce emissions to zero and net-zero across Europe.
