BP Pulse, BP’s electric vehicle charging brand has reduced its workforce by more than ten percent and exited multiple markets, Reuters reported on Monday.
According to the report, BP CEO Murray Auchincloss is implementing these changes to prioritize the company’s most profitable sectors amid investor skepticism regarding its transition from oil and gas to low-carbon energy.
The company has currently only three positions open on its careers website as it has narrowed its focus from 12 countries to four in recent months, including the United States, Britain, Germany, and China.

These countries are anticipated to experience the most rapid growth in the EV market, according to information provided by BP to Reuters.
As part of its strategic initiative to establish a Europe-wide network of electric truck (EV) charging infrastructure, the company has acquired the freehold of Ashford International Truckstop in Kent, one of the largest truck stops in Europe.
The site can host approximately 20 mega-watt chargers (MCS), 10 x 400kW, and 125 x 100 kW chargers.
BP’s objective is to establish a network of mobility hubs along vital logistics routes throughout the UK and Europe. These hubs will offer freight operators a variety of energy choices, including traditional fuels, to assist their fleet customers at all stages of their decarbonization efforts, the company recently stated.
