Brisbane-headquartered Tritium’s largest order to date will deliver EV fast chargers across Australia, the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.
BP will install the chargers for fleets and the public in these countries as it expands its EV charging business BP Pulse.
EVs and Beyond covered the first Tritium and BP deal in April last year.
Tritium anticipates manufacturing the chargers destined for BP’s European and American markets in the company’s Lebanon, Tennessee facility, which opened in August 2022 and is expected to reach a production capacity of 30,000 units annually.
Chargers for BP’s Australia markets are likely to be made in Tritium’s Brisbane factory, which has a capacity of 5000 units a year.
This announcement comes two months after Tritium chief executive Jane Hunter joined BP chief executive Bernard Looney for the Australia launch of BP’s global electrification brand BP Pulse.
The executives appeared together to officially open the new BP Pulse fast charge points at BP Bayside at Brighton East in Melbourne.
“As BP’s EV charging infrastructure grows worldwide, Tritium is a natural choice for this order,” says BP Pulse chief executive Richard Bartlett.
“Tritium has a global presence and industry-leading DC fast charging technology – we’re looking forward to putting these chargers to work across three continents.”
Hunter says Tritium is looking forward to working together to support BP Pulse in building a reliable, accessible fast charging network around the world.
BP’s second order from Tritium includes a mix of 50kW RTM and 150kW PKM chargers, the latter model popular across fleets, network operators, heavy commercial units, retail, and hospitality.
Meanwhile, Tritium has also announced a record year for 2022.
Sales orders reached US$195 million – a 38% increase on the previous year’s US$141m.
