Configurations

Modular by design, begin with two DC charging points and expand to six as your demand grows. Configure for depot-only use or open selected dispensers to external fleets via Shell Card, unlocking additional revenue streams.

Start small

Charge a single heavy-duty vehicle using the full 500 kW output of one PowerHub 500 unit. A straight­forward entry point for depot electrification with room to scale.

Scale to two

Charge two heavy-duty vehicles using the PowerPack 500’s core infrastructure. Our durable, ultrafast charging hardware is designed to be easy to install, operate, and upgrade.

Scale when ready

Using a shared powerhouse enables multiple DC charge points to be supported from a single infrastructure investment. Choose air- or liquid-cooled dispensers based on your operational needs. Improving utilisation, reducing cost, and maximising return on investment.

Expand to six

Install multiple Shell PowerHub 500 chargers side by side as fleet demand increases. Our modular architecture enables heavy-duty fleets to future-proof infrastructure investments and reduce the need for costly replacements or retrofits.

Benefits

Built to support fleet electrification at scale.

Battery with plug icon

Built for heavy-duty fleets

Delivers reliable, predictable DC charging performance, combining long service life and durable, depot-grade infrastructure for high-usage fleet environments, while enabling faster, lower-disruption installation.

EV charger icon with plug

Cost-effective

Reduces upfront investment through phased rollouts and modular expansion – minimising lifetime operating costs through liquid-cooled modules that deliver efficient charging and reduced energy consumption.

Flexibility pin icon

Scalable

Start with essential infrastructure and scale capacity as operations expand, creating a cost-effective pathway to full depot electrification without redesigning sites or replacing core systems.

Lightning bolt icon

Connected to Shell’s network

Hardware that connects private depot charging to Shell’s integrated European network through Shell Card – helping fleets expand route flexibility, unlock additional revenue streams and reduce total cost of ownership by up to 10% versus diesel¹.

Shield icon

All-in-one solution

Shell PowerPack 500 offers a simple, all-in-one solution that combines charging hardware, software, Shell Card and service support to help fleets start and scale electrification – while also providing optional upgrades.

Battery with plug icon

Simple to operate

Co-ordinating multiple suppliers, contracts and systems adds complexity, cost and operational risk. Shell PowerPack 500 removes this barrier by providing a single, all-in-one solution that helps fleets save time and focus on their core business.

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.

To explore the broader framework behind these results, learn more about Shell’s Integrated Charging Network.

Investment you can plan around

Start with a lower upfront invest­ment and expand as operations grow. The PowerHub 500 is designed to enable up­front invest­ment (CAPEX) efficiency through phased rollouts and modular expansion – and help minimise lifetime operating costs (OPEX) through long service life infra­structure, efficient charging (with target efficiency up to 97%) and optimised energy use.

Economics beyond the charger

Shell ecosystem advantage

Shell’s integrated charging network is designed to support one of the strongest economic levers in fleet electrification: using shared infrastructure across private depot, semi-public and public charging. One network. One card. One invoice. It can help reduce fleet TCO by up to 10% compared to diesel, depending on the customer use case and local conditions.¹

¹ 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.
