Shell unveils Triple 10 Challenge EV concept car with ultra-fast charging and 50% lower emissions

Shell has introduced the Triple 10 Challenge concept car, a compact electric vehicle designed to charge from 10% to 80% in under 10 minutes using standard 175kW chargers, nearly doubling the charging speed of typical EVs. The car achieves 10 km per kWh efficiency and aims for a lifecycle carbon footprint of about 10 tonnes CO2e, representing a 50% reduction compared to typical European EVs. This is enabled by Shell's innovative thermal management fluid that cools the battery and powertrain more efficiently, allowing a smaller, lighter battery and faster charging without compromising battery life. Shell plans to integrate this technology into its broader EV offerings under the Shell Recharge brand, pushing sustainable electric mobility forward.
