Roadchef has announced an agreement with bp across electric vehicle (EV) charging, fuels and convenience on the UK motorway network.
From 2027, bp pulse’s ultra-fast charging will be available to drivers across the UK’s strategic road network at more than 30 Roadchef motorway service areas.
The agreement includes Roadchef operating 12-bp forecourts with each site continuing to supply bp branded fuels as well as bp’s wildbean cafe offer.
Jo Hayward, VP mobility and convenience retail UK at bp, said: “We’re excited to be working with Roadchef building further on our already strong fuel supply relationship and bringing all our offers together to help give drivers what they want, when and where they want it on their journeys.”
Tim Gittins, chief executive of Roadchef, said: “This agreement will enable bp to expand the rollout of bp pulse ultra-fast EV charging across our sites and support our commitment to deliver 1,000 charging bays by 2030. Under the UK’s transition to zero-emission vehicles, motorway service areas will play a critical role in improving the availability of en-route charging points. bp brings the scale, experience and delivery capability needed to match our ambition, helping us move faster, invest with confidence and make charging more accessible to drivers across our network.
“It will also bring bp-branded forecourts under Roadchef’s operation, strengthening our fuel and convenience food offer for leisure and HGV drivers. Together, these changes will help us serve more drivers and give the business the scale and capability to meet the growing demand for EV charging across the UK.”
