Teslas Historic $100M Supercharger Deal with BP

<p>Let&#39;s start by acknowledging that Tesla has long held the crown for fast-charging networks in North America. Until now, Tesla has exclusively built, deployed, and operated its own Superchargers. The company&#39;s connector design has become so advanced that even competitors are adopting it. Tesla&#39;s charging network is no small feat, and automakers want a piece of that pie.</p> <p>Now, in a groundbreaking move, Tesla is selling its Supercharger hardware to BP. This marks a historic first: BP will deploy Tesla-built but BP-branded charging stations at its own sites. It’s an acknowledgment that Tesla’s technology is key to advancing the entire EV market, and it also offers Tesla a brand-new revenue stream.</p> <p>The specifics are tantalizing. BP will be getting Tesla&#39;s latest Supercharger hardware, complete with Magic Dock, which accommodates CCS vehicles in addition to Tesla&#39;s own. Locations for these new Superchargers have already been chosen, including key cities like Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington D.C. The roll-out will commence in 2024.</p>
