BP Chargemaster installs first 150kW charger site

BP Chargemaster has installed its first 150kW ultra-fast charging site at BP Cranford, which is the the first of 400 ultra-fast chargers to be installed on BP forecourts.

Cranford was chosen as the first location as it is just outside central London and close to London Heathrow airport as well as key motorway routes.

BP Chargemaster hosted a preview event, inviting Polar customers to be the first in the UK to use the new chargers. The event also gave key representatives of BP Chargemaster and BP the opportunity to meet and discuss with customers about our products and the future of EV charging.

Two of our customers who attended the preview event brought along their Tesla Model 3 to try out charging at full capacity for the first time.

The new units will have CCS and CHAdeMO charging available, and will be accessible through Polar Plus membership and Polar Instant pay as you go, as well as Contactless in the near future.
