DETROIT—Chevrolet and Shell are introducing the first ever, in-car fuel payment system, which they say eliminates the need to swipe a credit card or use a mobile device at the gas station.
The new feature will allow drivers of 2017 model year and newer Chevrolet vehicles in the U.S. to pay and earn rewards directly through the vehicle's touchscreen when getting gas at participating Shell-branded stations, Car Buzz reported.
To use the new feature, drivers will simply press the Shell icon within the Marketplace app and select their preferred station location.
After a few more taps on the touchscreen, a code will be generated that allows the user to activate a pump and start fueling. The fill-up is then automatically charged to the payment method on file, Car Buzz reported.
