BP's electric charging unit is keen on expanding in the United States after electric vehicle maker Tesla disbanded its EV charging team, the oil company said on Thursday.
The development comes days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk abruptly laid off employees who ran the EV charging business, but said the automaker still plans to expand the Supercharger network, but at a slower pace for new locations.
"We are aggressively looking to acquire real estate to scale our network, which is a heightened focus following the recent Tesla announcement," a spokesperson for BP said in a statement.
BP added that is prioritizing focus in the north-east, across the Sun Belt, along the west coast and in the Great Lakes region.
