Not adapted for trucks. Engineered for them.

At the heart of PowerPack 500 is the PowerHub 500. Liquid-cooled, advanced power module charging technology designed in Germany for the demands of professional heavy-duty fleet operation. Unlike conventional air-cooled designs, PowerHub 500 is built to charge heavy-duty trucks back-to-back at full power across a wide ambient temperature range delivering reliable, predictable performance across every duty cycle, day and night.

Introducing PowerPack 500

See how PowerPack 500 makes it easier to start and scale depot charging.

Electrification that makes financial sense.

PowerHub 500

Built to reduce costs from day one, liquid-cooled advanced power module technology delivers efficient charging (with target efficiency of up to 97%), lowering energy consumption while reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time. Designed for more than 10 years of heavy-duty use, with no planned power module replacements.

Shell PowerPack 500

Add PowerOS, PowerCare and Shell Card and the financial case strengthens further. Intelligent CPMS scheduling optimises energy use across every charge point. Phased rollout spreads CAPEX as your fleet grows. One contract covering everything means less admin, fewer suppliers and no hidden costs.

Shell's integrated charging network for heavy-duty fleets

Connect to Shell’s integrated European heavy-duty charging network and unlock the full commercial potential of your infrastructure.

Up to 10% lower TCO versus diesel²

Enabled through Shell’s integrated charging network, shared infrastructure model and revenue generation via Shell Card.

Start small. Scale your fleet.

PowerPack 500 is built around a modular architecture that grows with your operation. Start with two DC outputs and scale up to six from a single power unit. No depot redesign. No infrastructure replacement.


For larger deployments, multiple PowerHub 500 units can be installed side by side. PowerOS manages scheduling and dynamic power sharing across all charge points automatically keeping every vehicle ready for its next duty cycle.

² Potential TCO outcomes are based on Shell’s model for a heavy-duty truck operating 116,000 km/year over 5 years, assuming a semi-public, energy-optimised eDepot with 75% private and 25% on-the-go charging. Estimated savings come from third-party eDepot use, Smart Charging energy cost reductions, and preferential network pricing, based on market references (excluding grid upgrades). Actual results will vary by market, vehicle type, and customer-specific factors such as energy prices, infrastructure costs, utilisation, and location.

PowerPack 500 FAQs

Questions about PowerPack 500? Start here.

Placeholder

This entry is only there so that the accordion can be completely closed.

What exactly is PowerPack 500 – is it hardware or a service?

PowerPack 500 is an integrated, all-in-one charging solution combining hardware, software, service and Shell Card into one bundled offer.

What is the difference between PowerHub 500 and PowerPack 500?
PowerHub 500 refers to the charging hardware. PowerPack 500 is the complete bundled solution, including hardware, software, services and Shell Card.
Why choose a bundled charging solution instead of separate hardware, software and service providers?
A bundled solution reduces complexity by providing one integrated system instead of multiple suppliers, contracts and interfaces.
For fleet operators, this means fewer coordination efforts, clearer operational responsibility and a charging setup designed to work as one connected solution.
How does PowerPack 500 reduce complexity compared with multiple suppliers?
PowerPack 500 brings all core elements into a single solution, reducing interfaces, contracts and operational complexity.
Instead of coordinating separate providers for hardware, software, service, payment and access, customers receive an integrated setup designed to support heavy-duty depot operations from the start.
How does PowerPack 500 help reduce total cost of ownership?

PowerPack 500 can help reduce total cost of ownership through several factors:

 

  • Low maintenance costs: liquid-cooled modules can help extend the charger’s lifetime and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.
  • Low OPEX: advanced power module technology allows for high efficiency and lower electricity losses, reducing energy consumption and energy costs.
  • Higher operational efficiency: reduced maintenance and replacement can support higher charger uptime, resulting in fewer operational delays and higher charger utilisation.
  • Shared core unit: one infrastructure supports up to six ports and multiple use cases for improved return on investment.
  • Phased investment approach: customers can invest in infrastructure as their needs grow, rather than ahead of time.
  • Revenue generation: PowerPack 500 is enabled with technology that allows customers to open their eDepot to third parties, increasing utilisation and potentially generating revenue.
  • Market EV credits: with the EV Credit as a service option in the Netherlands, Shell can support customers with claiming JaRI certificates, which can reduce eDepot charging costs by up to €0.15/kWh, subject to market value.
  • Bundled to save time and effort: with one trusted provider covering charging hardware, CPMS, servicing and maintenance, and Shell Card, fleets can deploy faster and operate more efficiently, for example with less driver coordination.

Indicative results based on model assumptions

This calculator provides indicative savings estimates for fleets investing in depot charging infrastructure. The model reflects the impact of depot optimisation, smart charging and energy management across Shell’s integrated network.

This scenario assumes a heavy-duty truck operating 116,000 km per year over 5 years, with 75% depot charging and 25% on-the-go charging supported by a semi-public, energy-optimised eDepot. Actual results will vary depending on market conditions and customer-specific factors.
