Shell zieht sich vom Einzelhandel zurück und konzentriert sich auf das Laden von Elektrofahrzeugen – Verkauf von 1.000 Tankstellen

From the article: A recent article at [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/video/shell-focus-ev-charging-closing-165539545.html) explains that Shell is going to start backing away from retail fuel stations to better focus on EV charging. As part of this effort, 1,000 fuel retail locations will be sold while more EV charging stations will be installed at the remaining locations the company owns.

The plan will be to start by closing 500 Shell-owned stations during 2024, and then closing another 500 during 2025. This will free up money to open more Shell Recharge stations. The company didn’t specify how many of those stations would be opened, but it did tell media that the plan is to focus on stations in China and Europe, where demand is higher. The commentator suggests it will probably be about 200,000 chargers. This isn’t to say there will be no Shell Recharge stations in the United States, as there are already such stations here and there.

To put the announcement into perspective, 1,000 stations is only about 2% of current Shell locations, so this won’t have a big impact on that. It also doesn’t include Shell-branded stations run by other companies that only buy fuel from Shell. It’s also important to note that Shell sees opportunities beyond putting EV charging at gas stations. The plan is to put them anywhere that will work, including retail and other high-traffic places, because the company wants to profit from charging directly and not just from inside the stores.

If Shell succeeds in this radical decision. It will end up doing what Nokia, Blackberry and Kodak failed to do. SURVIVE.
