BP is set to re-open a petrol station that now doesn’t sell… petrol.
It has ditched the fuel pumps there and swapped them all for high-power EV chargers.
They will allow electric car drivers to get 100 miles of charge in just 15 minutes.

It is located just off the A4 in Hammersmith, west London, and will open next month.
The move comes as part of a £1billion investment in new EV charging hubs.
It will still have an M&S Food shop.
The old petrol station on the site closed for the refurb in March, as reported by What’s The Jam.
A Hammersmith and Fulham Council spokesperson said: “A filling station in Hammersmith has uprooted its petrol pumps and is reopening as a rapid-charge centre, exclusively for electric vehicles.
“The BP Cromwell westbound garage near Oil Mill Lane, W6, has been closed since early March while engineering specialist NG Bailey removes pumps and replaces them with high-power chargers able to give cars a 100-mile top-up in 15 minutes.
“It’s set to become one of the company’s first pioneering electric-only fuel locations in the capital – part of an overall £1 billion investment in new EV charging hubs.
“It will be fully open in January.
“The new-look service station will also incorporate a Marks & Spencer shop so you can stock up on sandwiches while your vehicle is being charged.”
Richard Bartlett, head of BP Pulse, said: “It’s the difference between adding hundreds of miles of range in minutes and having to leave your car overnight on a slow charger.
“EV is ultimately a scale game, rolling out high-power charging sites with dozens of chargers per site.”
