Even more useful would be knowing how many chargers that number represents. Even the article states they don’t know what the number is. More charger availability is always good, but a press release like this smells more like greenwashing if we don’t know how useful this is. If all BP stations got a charger, that would be really impressive.
BP is coming out with their own line of EV chargers called BP Pulse. I dont think this is greenwashing more than it is that they probably just want the technology to roll this out
So right now if memory serves Tesla has 2 locations building SC. One in the US somewhere with a capacity I don't remember, and another in China making (edit up to) 10k a year.
They use all the chargers they make, and there isn't enough as it is.
So I'm not sure what BP buying them does? Is tesla building another factory, or is this moving a charger tesla would have built and deployed to be under a different name, but really, there's no extra chargers being made?
