Oil and gas company BP has agreed to purchase $100 million worth of electric vehicle chargers from Tesla.
This marks the first time Tesla has ever sold chargers to another company, according to an announcement from BP.
The company is purchasing 250 kilowatt fast chargers, the sort usually called Superchargers by Tesla.
The chargers will be able to power vehicles with either Tesla’s NACS charging port, which many other automakers have announced they are switching to, or the CCS charging port currently common on most non-Tesla EVs.
Some will also be installed at third-party locations, such as Hertz centers, as part of a previously announced deal.
BP Pulse, BP’s EV charging business, operates 27,000 charging points currently and has announced plans for rapid expansion.
