Shell plans to sell around 1,000 gas stations in the next two years.
To achieve this, the oil company wants to significantly expand its charging network for electric cars.
At least in Germany, e-mobility is currently in crisis: After the environmental bonus funding ended, car dealers' forecasts for incoming electric car orders in 2024 are bleak.
A big problem at the moment is the high loss in value of electric cars.
Large car rental companies such as Hertz and Sixt have also recently significantly reduced their electric car ambitions.
The oil giant Shell, on the other hand, is apparently hopeful about the future of electric cars: The company wants to significantly increase its charging options for electric vehicles - and at the same time get rid of hundreds of gas stations.

Shell wants to almost quadruple the number of charging points by 2030
Shell currently operates around 54,000 charging points for electric vehicles - this number is expected to grow to around 200,000 in 2030, according to a company strategy paper.
According to the document, the group sees a major “competitive advantage” over the competition due to its huge network of filling stations.
But it's not just the number of locations that is an advantage - the equipment is also an advantage: after all, customers can get coffee and snacks while in the store.
1,000 gas stations will be sold – other offerings will be expanded
Nevertheless, Shell wants to sell around 1,000 gas stations: 500 of the approximately 47,000 gas stations worldwide are to be sold in 2024 and 2025.
This also includes gas stations that are operated in joint ventures with other companies.
To this end, for example, the range of lubricants for offshore wind farms, but also coolants for electric car batteries, is to be expanded.
Shell recently announced the closure of its hydrogen filling stations for cars in California.
