A Supercharger at BP Pulse
Tesla has just added a new source of revenue, since we can now find Superchargers in other charging networks.
Tesla has made its network of Superchargers one of the major arguments for the sale of its vehicles. With more than 50,000 terminals worldwide, the manufacturer operates one of the largest charging networks. But above all, the American manufacturer was the first manufacturer to produce its charging stations itself.
An activity that will take on a new dimension as the deployment of charging points continues at a high pace. Tesla will in fact sell its terminals to other networks. The very first customer is BP Pulse which will acquire $100 million worth of Superchargers which will be deployed in North America.

The subsidiary of the English oil company plans to invest $1 billion by 2030 to increase its American network from 27,000 to 100,000 terminals. These Superchargers will therefore be part of these new points installed in TravelCenters, Thorntons, Amoco stations, in the BP Gigahub network or even at partners like Hertz.
This first contract, which is undoubtedly not the last, seems to be a culmination of the acceptance of the NACS format as a charging standard on the North American market. To date, only the Volkswagen and Stellantis groups have not yet adopted the “Tesla plug” for their next electric models, and most charging networks or terminal producers have announced support for this format in the coming months. .
