BP Agrees to Buy $100 Million Worth of Tesla Chargers for US Network Expansion

In a first-of-its-kind deal, BP will use the $100 million worth of Tesla Superchargers to expand its BP Pulse charging network, marking Tesla's significant move towards selling its hardware to other companies.

  • BP, a major oil and gas company, has agreed to purchase $100 million worth of Tesla's electric vehicle chargers, marking the first occasion that Tesla has sold its chargers to another company.
  • The purchased Superchargers will be branded as 'BP Pulse' and will be integrated into BP's existing charging network across the United States.
  • The Superchargers are compatible with Tesla’s NACS charging port and the CCS charging port, making them applicable for use with multiple EV models.
  • BP-owned locations including TravelCenters of America, Thorntons, and Amoco, as well as third-party locations like Hertz centers, will be the sites of the new charger installations.
  • The purchase is part of BP Pulse’s larger plan to invest up to $1 billion into EV charging stations across the US by 2030, as the company and EV market leader Tesla are exploring new revenue streams.
