BP and Volkswagen on Thursday fleshed out details of their electric vehicle charging alliance, aiming to jointly install 8,000 fast-charging spots across Europe by 2024 in a bid to stoke demand for battery-powered vehicles. In a first phase of the partnership, which was initially unveiled at Volkswagen's Power Day in March 2021, 4,000 charging points could be installed at BP's Aral retail sites in Germany and BP retail sites in Britain over the next 24 months. The fast-chargers will have a capacity of as much as 150 kilowatts (kW), which can deliver a meaningful charge for a range of around 160 kilometres (100 miles) in just over 10 minutes and might hep fix the issue of range anxiety that still weighs on demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
