Tesla Superchargers join bp's roaming network: what fleets get

bp’s Fuel & Charge card now works at eligible Tesla Superchargers, more than 2,000 of them in the UK and more than 20,000 across Europe, with every session billed to the employer. What bp has not said is the per-kWh rate fleets will be charged.

The change was reported by EV Fleet World and Business Motoring on 6 October 2026. It closes one of the more irritating gaps in company car charging: drivers on a bp card could not put Supercharger sessions on the company account, so they either drove past the UK’s cheapest rapid network or paid personally and claimed it back.

How do fleet drivers use a Tesla Supercharger with the bp card?

There are three ways to start a session, depending on the car:

Method	Which cars	Where it works
Tap the Fuel & Charge card	Any compatible EV	Eligible Superchargers fitted with a card reader
Start a session in the Fuel & Charge app	Any compatible EV	Eligible Superchargers
Plug & Charge via the Tesla app	Tesla only, after one-time setup	Superchargers open to Tesla drivers

For non-Tesla cars, “eligible” means the sites Tesla has opened to other EVs. Zapmap counted 2,774 Tesla chargers at 447 UK locations at the end of September 2026 and says more than half are now open to any compatible car. Our guide to using a Supercharger in a non-Tesla covers which cars can plug in.

For Tesla company cars, the card is added once in the Tesla app as a payment method. After that the car authenticates itself when plugged in, as it does on a private account, and the bill goes to bp rather than the driver.

What do fleets actually get?

The main gain is administrative. Charging sessions are billed directly to the employer and combined with the company’s other charging and fuel transactions on the bp account. Drivers no longer need their own Tesla account, a personal payment card or a separate charging bill, and finance teams no longer need to process expense claims for Supercharger receipts.

The Fuel & Charge card already covered around 18,000 bp pulse charge points plus third-party networks such as Ionity, Osprey, Fastned and Allego, and more than 3,500 UK fuel stations for mixed fleets. With Tesla added, the roaming network now reaches more than one million charge points in Europe. If you are weighing bp against its main rival, see our bp pulse vs Shell Recharge comparison.

Is bp the first fuel card on Tesla Superchargers?

No. Tesla opened its app wallet to third-party charge cards across Europe on 18 November 2025, with 34 cards live at launch and, in Tesla’s words, “40+ more coming in the next few weeks”. Electrive and Not a Tesla App named DKV Mobility, UTA eCharge, Travelcard, WEX, Chargemap and Plugsurfing among them. bp Fuel & Charge is a later addition, and a significant one for UK fleets given how many already run on bp cards.

One restriction from the original rollout is worth knowing: Electrive reported that free Supercharger credit, such as referral miles, cannot be used when a session is paid with a charge card.

What will fleets pay per kWh?

bp has not published a Supercharger rate for Fuel & Charge cardholders, and none of the trade reports include one. When Tesla launched third-party cards in 2025, Electrive noted it was unclear whether the Tesla driver tariff, the non-Tesla tariff or the card provider’s own roaming tariff would apply. Fleets should ask their bp account manager for the rate before steering drivers to Superchargers.

For context, Zapmap’s Charging Price Index for September 2026 shows how wide the range is:

Rate (September 2026, Zapmap)	Average per kWh	10 to 80% stop, 55.3 kWh
Tesla drivers on Superchargers	48p	£26.54
Non-Tesla drivers at open Superchargers	69p	£38.16
All public rapid and ultra-rapid	79p	£43.69
Home off-peak (Intelligent Octopus Go)	8p	£4.42

Our number: every 10p/kWh difference in the billed rate is worth £5.53 per stop, or £575 a year for a driver making two rapid stops a week. Method: 70% of a 79 kWh battery (55.3 kWh) × 10p = £5.53, × 104 stops = £575.

That is why the rate matters more than the convenience. A Tesla driver who pays personally at around 48p and claims it back costs the company less per kWh than a card session billed at a roaming rate near 79p, though more in admin. Our Tesla Supercharger prices guide breaks down peak and off-peak pricing, and the Supercharger membership guide explains the member rates non-Tesla drivers can get.

What should fleet managers do now?

Get the bp Supercharger rate in writing and compare it with the Zapmap averages above. Tell Tesla drivers to add the card in the Tesla app once, and tell non-Tesla drivers that only open sites will accept them. Home charging remains far cheaper than any public rate: our cost to charge a Tesla guide sets out the gap, and our Tesla company car tax guide covers the 4% benefit-in-kind rate for 2026/27.
