BP Pulse and Moto have formed a partnership to install high-powered electric truck chargers at three UK motorway service areas.

Installed at each site – Lymm, Toddington North, and Toddington South – will be six pull-through bays equipped with megawatt charging system chargers.

The first facility is planned to go live during 2026.

This project is focused on the UK’s primary motorway corridors, supporting BP’s aim to build a publicly accessible network of multi-energy truck hubs across the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) routes.

It follows the success of BP’s first European e-truck corridor launched across six sites, spanning a 600km stretch of the Rhine-Alpine corridor, in January 2023.

This also complements BP’s acquisition of one of Europe’s largest truck stops in Ashford, Kent, where plans are underway to introduce EV charging for HGVs.

Ken McMeikan, CEO at Moto said, “At Moto, we’re committed to leading the way in enabling the UK’s electric mobility.

“By partnering with BP Pulse, we are delivering the infrastructure and innovation electric fleets need, making our vision for long-haul electrification more practical and accessible.”

Jo Hayward, vice president, BP Mobility & Convenience retail said, “We’re committed to helping fleet operators transition to EV trucks and that means delivering the infrastructure they need where they need it.

“Our partnership with Moto is a perfect fit: the team shares our focus on making electric truck charging as convenient as possible for our customers, and providing them with a brilliant experience.

“Together, we’re making it easier for fleet managers to keep their electric trucks moving with less downtime, lower emissions and a clear path to an electric future.”
