On May 13th, 2021, British Petroleum (BP), one of the biggest oil companies in the world, took a major leap into the renewable energy industry when they announced an order of electric vehicle charging stations from US-based company TRITIUM. This order marks a historical moment for the energy industry, as it represents a shift towards electricity-based transport systems that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The order consists of TRITIUM’s Veefil-PK 175/ 350 DC fast charging stations. The stations come with a robust, weather-resistant enclosure that helps protect the charger from external elements, such as wind, rain, and snow.The chargers have a compact design that makes them ideal for public and private applications, such as parking lots, commercial buildings, residential complexes, and more. The orders will include both standard and rapid charging options, along with a range of charging cable options.
In addition to the station order, BP has also secured access to TRITIUM’s latest data services. This will allow BP to better manage, monitor, and analyze their charging network, thus providing a more seamless experience for users. With these services, BP will be able to better understand customer needs and tailor their charging network to meet those needs.
This is not the first move for BP towards a greener future. The company has invested in a range of projects to reduce their carbon footprint, such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable energy projects. This order is a further testament to BP’s commitment to reducing their reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the development of clean, renewable energy.
The order of the TRITIUM electric vehicle charging stations is a major milestone in BP’s journey to becoming a more sustainable energy provider. With this bold move, they have become a leader in the fight against climate change, and have provided a valuable and necessary infrastructural solution for the road ahead.
