Energy giant Shell has picked Aberdeen as the location for its first Scottish EV charging station.
Plans have been lodged to transform part of the site of Shell’s former headquarters at Tullos into a charging hub for electric vehicles.
This would be the firm’s first all-EV facility in Scotland, if the proposals are approved.
Following the demolition of its former headquarters, which closed when the firm invested millions to relocated staff into the heart of the city centre, Shell pledged to transform the land left behind into something that would make a “positive change” in the area.
If approved, it would feature 20 ultra-rapid charge points, with speeds of up to 300kW. There would also be a convenience store and a car wash.
Shell said the plans would cement its “visible presence” in Tullos and is the first phase of plans to put the 30-acre land to good use.
Shell’s senior vice president, Simon Roddy, said: “This is a key step in our vision to create a positive impact in the Tullos site.
“We are exploring options with potential partners, including the council and Energy Transition Zone Limited, on how the rest of the site could be used to benefit the city.”
