New BP gas station chargers are coming

[Aaron Hawes]

75kW is not too bad, free charging at the moment which is good, I tried one out at the weekend and seems to work well.
Depsite the fact BP are still putting money into lobbying to keep dirty fuels.

Despite climate commitments, BP and Shell continue to fund anti-climate lobbies according to Greenpeace investigation; incl. co comments - Business & Human Rights Resource Centre

I used to work for BP's head office around 10 years ago - we were running an analysis on introducing EV chargers back then so kinda makes me mad that took this long to roll them out...but good to see them finally there nonetheless

Fun fact (and probably well known) is the margin on fuel is so minimal that the primary source of revenue is from the shop by a large margin - so entirely makes sense to add EV chargers to draw people inside for a coffee and pie while they wait. Can see how they've converted the Wild Bean cafe section to 50% of the footprint of most stores because of this

BP are up to about 80 odd chargers in New Zealand as at July 2023 and more coming.
