It seems like a no brainer for gas station companies to offer charging.

Are BP Pulse chargers located at BP gas stations or separately?
It would be nice to have the other amenities that ICE drivers have.

Your headline is misleading, as it suggests that BP is buying Supercharger locations. The item you linked to makes no such claim.

It IS worth noting, though, that Tesla was starting to manufacture BP-branded V4 chargers though who knows how many got deployed...

These photos are from Michigan. We are aware EVgo/GM/Pilot/Flying J are opening numerous DCFC at typical "gas" and/or travel stations. Will make life easier than the far end of the Walmart parking lot.

wow I didn’t even know that but after looking, looks like Tesla sold BP $100M worth of superchargers.

That reads like a misinterpretation of what the CEO of BP Pulse actually said. I don't think they want the sites with existing supercharger installations.

The statement was:
“If there are stranded real estate partners who are looking for someone to call, they should feel free to pick up the phone and call me or look me up on LinkedIn,” Sujay Sharma, chief executive officer of bp pulse Americas, said in an interview with Bloomberg.

Last year, BP Pulse signed a contract for $100M of supercharger hardware. They're looking for locations to install their hardware. I do wonder how much hardware they've actually received and if they'll actually get everything they were promised.
