bp pulse and Moto partner to bring e-truck charging to UK motorways
Last update: Sep 26, 2025
New high-powered charging hubs to launch at three key motorway service areas from 2026.
bp pulse and Moto have announced a new collaboration to deploy high-powered electric truck charging infrastructure across major UK transport corridors. The initiative aims to accelerate the transition to zero-emission freight and logistics by delivering charging solutions tailored to heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).
The first three locations in Lymm, Toddington North, and Toddington South, have been confirmed as part of the rollout. Each site will feature six pull-through bays equipped with megawatt charging system (MCS) chargers, compatible with both CCS and MCS standards to accommodate a wide range of electric trucks.
Jo Hayward, vice president of bp mobility & convenience retail, said: “Helping fleet operators transition to EV trucks means delivering charging where they need it. Together with Moto, we’re making it easier to keep electric trucks on the move with less downtime, lower emissions, and a clear path to an electric future.”
With the first site expected to go live in 2026, the project targets the UK’s primary motorway network and supports the energy giant’s strategy to build a publicly accessible network of multi-energy truck hubs across key Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) routes.
These hubs will combine charging infrastructure with high-quality amenities to help operators manage total cost of ownership while reducing fleet downtime and emissions.
“This partnership with bp pulse is about delivering the infrastructure and innovation electric fleets need,” added Ken McMeikan, CEO of Moto. “We’re committed to leading the UK’s electric mobility transformation, and these hubs make long-haul electrification more practical and accessible.”
The initiative complements bp’s acquisition of one of Europe’s largest truck stops in Ashford, Kent, where plans are underway to introduce HGV charging. The site will provide a crucial cross-border link between the UK and mainland Europe, enabling bp to develop a pan-European network of high-powered truck charging facilities.
