I honestly forgot how I first learned about Shell Recharge stations but I was able to finally give it a try the other day!
There are two charging stations here at the Stop & Shop parking lot in Hyde Park & currently they offer free charge with a time limit of 1 hr!
So, it's perfect for EV car users if you want to do some grocery shopping or run into the Walgreens next door to grab a few things.
Setting up for charging was pretty easy. Just download the Shell Recharge app, create an account, set up payment (though this one doesn't charge $ currently) & plug in.
For my car, I was able to get ~10% charge (10-11 kW/hr) in 1 hr, so similar to at home charger & used the J1772 adapter.
Free chargers are super hard to come by nowadays, so I'll take it! read more
