Tips for Charging with Shell Recharge in Portugal

• Shell Recharge accepts app, RFID, and contactless payment. Contactless is the easiest option for visitors.
• The Lisbon-to-Porto corridor along the A1 has the best charging coverage in Portugal. If heading to the Algarve, check station locations in advance.
• Portugal's Mobi.E platform connects most public chargers. A Mobi.E-linked app may give you the same access as Shell Recharge at a lower price.
• Portuguese motorway tolls can be confusing, with electronic-only sections. Sort out your toll payment method separately.

Common Issues

• Roaming prices through Shell Recharge are notably higher than direct Mobi.E rates in Portugal. Consider using a local provider if cost matters.
• Coverage outside the Lisbon-Porto corridor and the Algarve can be sparse.
• Summer tourism in the Algarve can make southern stations busy during peak season.
• Some Mobi.E stations may not appear in the Shell Recharge app even if they are operational.

Portugal's Mobi.E platform connects multiple local operators, so alternatives are available, often at lower prices than roaming.
