The upcoming bank holiday weekend will bring with it an increase in EV charging sessions, says BP Pulse.
The oil company’s EV chargepoint arm reports that an analysis of last summer’s bank holiday data indicates forecourt operators with EV charging facilities will see a 5% rise in sessions.
The firm says it expects to deliver enough electricity over the weekend to power 2.75 million EV miles, with Friday and Saturday set to be the busiest days for charging, and peak demand due to be between 6pm and 8pm.
BP Pulse’s general manager, Valerio Ferro, comments: “With EVs increasingly popular, we’re expecting to see higher demand for EV charging than ever before”.
