BP Chargemaster announced that the public charging points it operates in the UK are now regularly supplying more than 60 MWh (60,000 kWh) of energy per day, which equates to approximately 1.5 million miles per week of driving by electric cars. [1] According to the update, BP Chargemaster’s public charging points are avoiding around 300 tonnes of weekly CO₂ emissions based on the average UK new car carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions figure of 124.5g/km. [2] “Powering around 1.5 million electric miles a week makes us the most-used public charging infrastructure operator in the UK and we are proud to serve thousands of electric vehicle drivers every day,” BP Chargemaster COO David Newton said in the news release. “We have seen incredible growth in the utilization of our public charging network over the past 12 months, with both the number of charging sessions and number of users more than doubling, and the amount of energy supplied almost tripling. This reflects the larger batteries and the longer distances being driven by the latest electric vehicles.”
