Executives from TravelCenters America (TA) and BP were joined by local elected officials at a ribbon cutting for the two companies\u2019 first DC fast charging hub\u00a0on I-95 in Jacksonville, Florida \u2013\u00a0the first of several such EV charging stations to come online.<\/p>\n

Frequent road-trippers are no doubt familiar with TA\u2019s red, white, and blue logo and probably think of the sites as safe, convenient stops in otherwise unfamiliar surroundings. The company hopes those positive associations will carry over as its customers continue to switch from gas to electric at a record pace in 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday marks a significant milestone in our journey to bring new forms of energy to our customers as we support their changing mobility needs, while leveraging the best of bp and TA,\u201d explains Debi Boffa, CEO of TravelCenters of America. Boffa, however, was quick to \u2013 but TA is quick to point out that TA isn\u2019 no\u2019t leaving its ICE customers behind. \u201cWhile this is significant, to our loyal customers and guests, rest assured TA will continue to provide the same safe and reliable fueling options it has offered for over 50 years, regardless of the type of fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The charging hub along the I-95 offers 12 DC fast charging ports offering up to 400kW of power for lickety-quick charging. While they\u2019re at the TA, EV drivers can visit restrooms, shop at TA\u2019s convenience store, or eat at fast food chains like Popeyes and Subway. Other TA centers offer wifi and pet-friendly amenities as well \u2013\u00a0making them ideal partners for BP as the two companies builds out their charging networks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we expand our EV charging network in the US<\/a>, I am thrilled to unveil our first of many hubs at TA locations,\u201d offers Sujay Sharma, CEO of BP Pulse Americas. \u201cThese sites are strategically located across key highway corridors that provide our customers with en route charging when and where they need it most, while offering convenient amenities, like restaurants and restrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

As I type this, BP has more than 37,000 EV charging ports operational globally, and plans to have more than 100,000 in service by 2030. The company made headlines in 2022 when it announced that its EV chargers were \u201con the cusp\u201d of being more profitable than its gas pumps<\/a>. Three years on, it seems like that\u2019s a done deal.<\/p>\n
