Operational areas

Ideal for fleet depots and logistics hubs with limited space, with indoor and outdoor variants to match the site.

Configurations

Compact depot layouts in practice: three Q-Charger setups showing dispenser connections, routed endpoints and overhead gantry configurations.

Charging at the dispenser

As a DC charger, Q-Charger supplies a connected dispenser where the vehicle plugs in. The dispenser provides the outlet and passes through power from Q-Charger for flexible placement.

Mast, reel or cable endpoint

Q-Charger routes power to an endpoint at the charging position, such as a mast, cable reel, charge lift or cable-managed endpoint. A cabinet can sit in between for routing and layout flexibility.

Overhead gantry for multi-position layouts

An overhead gantry keeps outlets above the lane and cable handling organised across multiple charging positions. Q-Charger supplies the end­points, with cabinet routing where required by the layout.

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

Q-Charger supports cost-efficient depot expansion in space-limited sites. Multi-dispenser scalability and master–slave setups help reduce investment per charging point. Forced-air cooling and front access keep running costs manageable.

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.
