Penske Truck Leasing and Shell Recharge Solutions North America have announced a joint initiative for soft electric car charging at Penske sites.
The move follows Penske’s announced order for 750 all-electric Ford E-Transit app vans.
The assignment with Shell will first implement Level 2 electric truck charging stations with take-and-charge capabilities, in Penske’s developing fleet of battery electric trucks in California.

Additional sites will be deployed in 4 states in 2022 and more sites are expected to be added in 2023 and beyond. Of the 33 Penske Truck Leasing sites that will come with Shell Recharge Solutions, 23 will be built in California, 3 in Washington state, two in Colorado, Illinois and Oregon, and one station will be in Reading, Pennsylvania. This will see Penske Shell’s L2 Network reach a total of 79 chargers.
For Penske, Shell Recharge Solutions will supply the design, installation and charging network through its SKY software platform. —Transportation Topics
