And, with favourable rates, you could save money while you charge. It's as easy as swipe, charge, and go.
Many charge point providers bundle multiple networks together so you can use the same EV charge card across various networks. The Shell Recharge is an example of this, we have Shell Recharge and 395 other roaming partners in our network. This means you get more thorough coverage but eliminates the need for multiple cards. Just use the one card at any of the 500,000 charge points you see in the Shell Recharge app.
With an activated card you can charge at any of the available charge points you see in the Shell Recharge app. Shell Recharge card holders can travel seamlessly through the UK and Europe, using one charge card for all their charging needs. In fact you just need one charge card, account, and payment method across the entire Shell Recharge network.
It is worth noting here that you can still charge without a charge card. However, this will reduce availability, as you are only able to use app-enabled charge points. You can filter for this in the app.
The Shell Recharge card is a convenient and secure way to start a charge session at home. Please note there are a few ways to start charging your EV at home but regardless of your settings, you must have an activated Shell Recharge RFID card to use your home charge point.

Prepaid phone cards can be purchased and used for a flat fee to make long distance telephone calls. Cards provide you a specified amount of call time to certain destinations. For example, advertisements for these cards may offer "$5 for 1000 Minutes to Guatemala."
After purchasing a card, you use it by calling an access number, which can be either a local telephone number or a toll-free number. You will then be prompted to provide your personal identification number, usually listed on the card you purchased, and the telephone number you wish to call. An automated voice may tell you how much time you have left on your card, as well as give you other information or options.
Ads from certain prepaid card providers claim that buyers can make hundreds or thousands of minutes of calls to certain advertised destinations for just a few dollars. In reality, a consumer using these particular cards could make calls for only a fraction of those minutes due to multiple hidden fees and surcharges. In 2015, the FCC fined six companies $30 million for deceptive marketing of calling cards.
If you are having a problem with the local retailer from which you purchased the card, try calling or writing your local Consumer Affairs or Better Business Bureau or state Attorney General. These phone numbers are often found in the blue pages or government section of your local telephone directory.
Prepaid phone cards are often marketed by companies other than the telephone company or service provider. If you have concerns about deceptive or false advertising or marketing practices, contact the Federal Trade Commission: www.consumer.ftc.gov.
This is because due to the nature of prepaid gift cards, they can become low in balance over time to cover the recurring amount. In order to protect our members from unintended service interruption, prepaid gift cards cannot be used for payments automatically pulled from PayPal accounts.
If you get a declined message during checkout even if the prepaid gift card has enough balance to cover the full amount, then you may have to register your billing address with the card issuer. Look for a contact website or phone number on the back of the prepaid gift card to complete the registration process. Once registered, please try again.
In rare occasions, you may have to register your billing address with the card issuer. Look for a contact website or phone number on the back of your prepaid gift card to complete this registration process.
Although several adverse health effects of heavy metals have been known for a long time, the exposure to these elements continues and is even increasing in the less developed countries where several people still remain ignorant of how to curb the menace of heavy metal exposure. One of the present day exposure routes to heavy metals is through the use of mobile phone recharge cards which are becoming increasingly popular among the young and the old [23]. Hence, the associated health risk of the heavy metal content of these recharged cards based on their species motivated the present study. To the best of our knowledge, the present speciation study represents the first of its kind with respect to recharge cards usage.
Chemical speciation of heavy metals describes their composition, forms of association, ionic types and concentration in a given matrix. The significance of chemical speciation for the environmental sciences lies in its usefulness as a tool for the interpretation of chemodynamics, properties and toxicity of chemical compounds. Chemical speciation depends, amongst other factors, on the composition of the system, pH, temperature, ionic strength and time. Many studies dealing with particulate metals in natural water systems (i.e. metal associated with suspended matter or bottom sediments) including roadside deposits are usually concerned with total metal concentration [26], [14], [16], [19], [13]. Relatively few attempts have been made to evaluate the speciation of particulate metals in sub-urban center particularly among the various forms in which they might exist even in other matrices including recharge cards silver coatings.
Since the advent of recharge cards in the world especially for commercial consumption by the regular cell phone users, little or very scarce reports on its heavy metals speciation have been reported. For example, Okunola et al. [23] reported the presence of total iron, nickel, chromium, manganese, copper, zinc, lead, and cadmium in commercially available recharge cards but not the species of the metals. Assessing the health risk associated with this metals is important since it is a common habit among people using recharged cards especially in Nigeria to use their finger nails to scratch the recharge card coating without proper washing of the nails thereby contributing a direct dermal contact with the heavy metal content of the coating films. Also in the course of removing the coating or scratching, the scratched particles are carelessly dispersed in the environment. Some of the particles contaminate the air around, while in most cases, larger percentage are returned into the ground where they are subjected to a number of processes that influences their mobility in the soil as well as their potential to contaminate ground water. Further transformations may lead to contamination of farm products and fresh water plants and animals, and finally get into the food chain. Thus, the human health implication of these heavy metals in the recharge card coatings, either in their total, free or bonded form cannot be over emphasized.
Chromium had the lowest concentration of the heavy metals (10 μg/g) in A ( 400) while Ti had the highest concentration (12,580 μg/g) in C ( 500) for all the coatings analyzed. Results showed that A ( 100) which is the readily affordable denomination by most users of recharge cards contained very high concentrations of the heavy metals compared with other samples investigated, and therefore represent a higher health risk. The heavy metals concentration and distribution in A ( 400), along with C ( 200) and C ( 500) were lower and safer compared with others and are considered relatively safe for the buyers and sellers of the product.
The health risk index (HRI) has also been recognized as a useful indicator for evaluation of risk associated with the consumption of metals in contaminated food [29]. Therefore, important index was also adapted for the estimation of the health risk associated with the use of recharge cards in this study. The result is presented in Fig. 2. Except for Fe, the HRI of other metals are less than 1 (HRI < 1), which implies that the users of mobile phones recharge cards are exposed to low health risk associated with these metals.
Despite high HRI values obtained for Fe in some brands of the recharge cards, there are few exceptions where low HRI values were recorded (e.g. A 200 (0.907) and C 200 (0.821). The results therefore suggest unregulated and indiscriminate use of iron containing raw materials by the recharge cards makers during production process which leads to variations noticed in this work. Apart from HRI results that demonstrated low health risk associated with these metals, it has also been suggested that the ingested dose of heavy metals is not equal to the absorbed pollutant dose in reality, as a fraction of the ingested heavy metals may be excreted with the remainder accumulated in the body tissues where it affects human health [8].
Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6 present the results of manganese, copper, cadmium and lead speciation in the recharge card coatings using sequential extraction procedure. This study was carried out to mimic the likely species of the heavy metals in the environment (e.g. soil) when used recharge cards are discharged indiscriminately, or scratched silver coatings are added to environmental dust. This is the common practice by many users of the products. From the results obtained for the different recharge cards denomination studied, it was observed that the metals can exist in the different fractions or species if present in the environment. Table 3 presents Mn species in the coatings. The order of abundance of Mn species in the different fractions is: Mn-oxide > exchangeable > organic > carbonate > residual. Similarly, from Table 4, the order of abundance of Cu species in the different fractions is: Mn-oxide > exchangeable > organic > carbonate > residual.
