BP to acquire UK's biggest electric vehicle company
Energy major BP said Thursday it would acquire the UK's biggest electric vehicle company Chargemaster.
Chargemaster operates over 6,500 electric vehicle charging points across the UK, and sells and maintains EV charging units across a wide range of locations, including home charging.
The acquisition is expected to bolster the number of charging points at BP's service stations across the country.
'Bringing together the UK's leading fuel retailer and its largest charging company, BP Chargemaster will deliver a truly differentiated offer for the country's growing number of electric vehicle owners,' said Tufan Erginbilgic, chief executive, BP downstream.
