EG Group, a British operator of fuel stations Europe, is going to acquire Tesla’s electric vehicle ultra-fast chargers for its evpoint business. EG expects to install the first Tesla charger at an evpoint station by the end of 2024.

According to the company, its rapidly growing charging network currently consists of more than 600 chargers across 189 sites. The goal is to deploy more than 20,000 chargers across about 3,600 sites in the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

That’s potentially a very large business opportunity for Tesla, which increasingly is expanding its charging business. Initially, Tesla was a vertically integrated manufacturer of chargers and an operator of its own dedicated charging network. Now, Tesla’s charging network is open for non-Tesla EVs globally on a mass scale, while the company is also selling its charging solution to third-party networks, like EG Group and recently BP in North America.

“The rapid installation of reliable, easy-to-use EV charging infrastructure is the right step towards a sustainable future and a key area of focus for us at Tesla. For this reason, we’re excited to make our fast-charging hardware available for purchase to EG Group and other leaders in the space,” said Tesla’s Senior Director of Charging Infrastructure Rebecca Tinucci.
