Marks & Spencer and BP have signed an agreement to bring high-speed electric vehicle (EV) charge points to its stores across the UK.

The agreement will see an initial 900 electric vehicle charge points in around 70 national stores in the next two years, and also expand BP’s network, adding up to 40,000kWhs of charging capacity to the UK’s EV infrastructure.

EV charging is one of the key components of BP’s ambition to be an integrated energy company. The company aims to grow its network of public EV charging points by 2030 to over 100,000 worldwide.

Each charger will have a minimum capacity of 50kW, either standard grid connected or battery-integrated solution with as many sites as possible having at least 1x ultra-fast 150kW charging point unless deemed unfeasible.
