There is no reason why they would have done this. Plenty of opportunity to create their own slow charging network. They were about to set up a way to pay for the energy, but instead chose to shut it down. In Chicago we're in seriously need for more charging options. Is anyone interested in discussing how to create a new network, or to push to have these old Volta stations turned back on?

Shell already runs an EV charging network called Shell Recharge. Sounds like they are consolidating.

Shell recharge is Volta. They bought it and rebranded them. Now they're dismantling all the level 2 side of the network (IE all the Volta chargers) and only keeping the DCFC side.
