bp to accelerate electrification of transport in Australia
The retailer has partnered with AGL Energy to offer EV drivers special discounts at its sites as well as developing a public charging infrastructure.
bp pulse and AGL Energy (AGL) have signed a three-year agreement to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Australia.
The partnership will build on AGL’s existing EV at home and bp’s existing on-the-go charging network to help accelerate the electrification of transport. Customers who have signed up for the launch of AGL’s refreshed EV home energy plan in July will also have access to a discounted rate for public charging at bp pulse sites.
Both companies will also explore and collaborate on the deployment of public charging infrastructure powered by renewable energy.
“We’re putting the customer at the heart of our strategy; installing a fast and convenient EV charging network in key metropolitan and regional locations across Australia, and now, through this agreement, eligible AGL customers can take advantage of special rates to charge with bp pulse in New South Wales,” said Sujay Sharma, Vice President Asia-Pacific at bp pulse.
By combining AGL’s expertise in charging at home with bp pulse’s public charging points, the companies will look to provide EV drivers with a convenient and integrated smart charging experience, making it easier for people to transition to electric mobility.
