• 埃隆·马斯克最近解雇了公司充电器部门的大约500名员工。
• 英国石油公司的目标是到2030年在全世界建立100,000个电动汽车充电点
• 特斯拉修订后的充电器战略可能有助于其他电动汽车充电公司

石油和天然气巨头英国石油公司(BP)的电动汽车充电部门将投资10亿美元扩建其充电网络，并希望抢购现有处于危险之中的特斯拉超级充电站。

本月早些时候 当他解雇了特斯拉的大多数充电器团队时,埃隆·马斯克震惊了整个行业,他说公司将减缓其充电器网络的扩张。现在,英国石油公司正在"积极寻求收购房地产,以扩大我们的网络规模,这是继最近特斯拉宣布之后的一个高度关注点。"

"如果有陷入困境的房地产合作伙伴正在找人打电话,他们应该可以自由地拿起电话给我打电话,或者打电话给我,"BP脉冲美洲公司首席执行官苏贾伊夏尔马说。

彭博社指出，夏尔马补充说，该公司还在寻找在电动汽车充电领域拥有丰富经验的优秀员工，这意味着该公司可能会挖走特斯拉解雇的 500 名员工中的部分员工。

英国石油公司对扩大其充电网络持严肃态度。去年,该公司与特斯拉签订了1亿美元的合同,以购买其充电器,并在英国石油公司全国充电点推出这些充电器。英国石油公司在全球已经有27000个充电点,并希望到2030年将增长到10万个。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/BP-Pulse-Westlake-1024x576.jpg

有趣的是，英国石油公司 (BP) 4 月份削减了电动汽车充电业务 10% 的员工。它还表示将把重点关注的国家数量从 12 个减少到 4 个；即美国、英国、德国和中国。

不仅仅是英国石油公司可以从特斯拉决定减缓其增压器扩张计划中获益。特斯拉首席执行官巴达尔汗说,与之竞争的充电公司EVgo将能够弥补特斯拉经济增长的一些不足。"https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/0x0-Supercharger_11-1024x682.jpg

BP Wants To Buy Up Tesla Supercharger Locations And Hire Its Staff

BP signed a $100 million contact with Tesla last year to purchase Superchargers for its own charging locations

• Elon Musk recently let go of around 500 employees from the company’s Supercharger division
• BP Pulse aims to establish 100,000 EV charging points worldwide by 2030
• Tesla’s revised Supercharger strategy could help other EV charging companies

The EV charging division of oil and gas giant BP will invest $1 billion in the expansion of its charging network and wants to snap up existing Tesla Supercharger sites that are in peril.

Earlier this month, Elon Musk shocked the industry when he fired most of Tesla’s Supercharger team and said the company would slow the expansion of its Supercharger charging network. Now, BP Pulse is “aggressively looking to acquire real estate to scale our network, which is a heightened focus following the recent Tesla announcement.”

“If there are stranded real estate partners who are looking for someone to call, they should feel free to pick up the phone and call me or look me up on LinkedIn,” BP Pulse Americas chief executive Sujay Sharma said.

Sharma added that the company is also seeking talented staff with experience in the EV charging field, meaning it could scoop up some of the 500 staff that Tesla fired, Bloomberg notes.

BP is serious about expanding its charging network. Last year, the firm signed a $100 million contract with Tesla to purchase its Superchargers and introduce them at BP charging points nationwide. BP already has 27,000 charge points worldwide and hopes to grow to 100,000 by 2030.

Interestingly, BP cut 10% of its workforce in its EV charging business in April. It also said it will reduce the number of countries it focuses on from 12 to just four; namely the United States, the UK, Germany, and China.

It’s not just BP that could benefit from Tesla’s decision to slow its Supercharger expansion plans. Rival charging firm EVgo will be able to pick up some of the slack in growth left by Tesla, chief executive Badar Khan said, noting Tesla’s move represents “a fairly significant change in the competitive dynamic in the charging space.”
