BP Charge passes 100 charger milestone

Since launching late last year, BP Charge has installed 100 fast charge points at key metropolitan and regional locations.

“By providing fast, reliable chargers across the country, BP Charge is working to break down the barriers for people considering an EV,” says BP New Zealand country head Matt Elliott.

Planning is underway for three new charging hubs at BP Connect sites in Papamoa, Tirau and Wanaka capable of charging multiple vehicles and expected to be operational in 2024.

The charging hubs are supported by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and align with the National EV Charging Strategy which proposes a target for hubs situated every 150-200km across the state highway network.

BP aims to have 600 EV charge points across New Zealand by 2025.
