Read MoreHide Full Article
BP plc (BP - Free Report) entered a multi-year agreement with Tritium DCFC Limited for the latter’s chargers and related services to support its electric vehicle (“EV”) charging network worldwide.
Per the terms of the deal, Tritium will supply 1,000 chargers to be installed in BP’s markets in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.
Formed in 2001, Australia-based Tritium specializes in developing and producing direct current fast chargers for EVs. The latest agreement marks significant progress for Tritium as it aims to expand its global presence with improved availability of EV fast chargers.
The latest agreement adds to other contracts for Tritium. The company recently collaborated with Las Vegas-based Wise Power to provide fast chargers for a new national EV charging network. With Tritium’s advanced technology, Wise Power can achieve its goal of creating a nationwide EV charging network.
The electrification of transportation is crucial to reducing emissions, which have increased immensely in recent years due to the rising number of fossil fuel-powered vehicles on the road. BP is among the companies pledging to increase the number of EV charging points.
In March, BP announced plans to triple its number of EV charging points in the U.K by 2030 by investing £1 billion in EV charging in the next ten years. The latest initiative represents an expansion of the plan by including the two nations with close ties to the U.K.
BP's fast charging strategy fits well with its goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The latest agreement will help it fulfill its commitment to provide rapid and reliable charging for EV drivers. It will facilitate the roll-out of the charging infrastructure needed as the world moves toward decarbonizing road transport.
