Over the past number of months, Tesla owners have been noticing that a certain type of chargers have been appearing on their car screens called EV OTM. These are white labeled Tesla V4 chargers and are open to all EVs, including Tesla.

What are EV OTM chargers?

EV On the Move is operated by EG On the Move, a UK based company which operates a large number of petrol stations. In the last few years, it has been expanding into the EV charging space.

Tesla has been selling white labeled V4 chargers to third party suppliers for a while, such as EG On the Move in the UK and BP Pulse in the US. However, at the moment, BP Pulse don't have any sites with Tesla V4 chargers live yet, just the one in planning - despite announcing the plan in late 2023.

If you want to find out where each location is and when it opened, you can view the supercharge.info website, which outlines this.

How much do they charge?

EV On the Move charge two different rates for charging and are not affected by the Tesla Membership. With standard Tesla chargers, Tesla offers a discount per kWh for £8.99 per month or £90 per year. This subscription doesn't affect the EV OTM chargers.

As a base rate EV OTM charge £0.65/kWh, which is pretty reasonable. Also, for an unspecified amount of time from the day of opening, each location starts out at £0.49/kWh and then gets bumped up to £0.65/kWh. It isn't clear for how long this lasts for.

How to use them?

Because these chargers are maintained by the Tesla support team, they are operated in the exact same way as the standard Tesla V4 chargers. This means that for Tesla drivers, you can drive up, plug in and be billed through the Tesla account.

For other EVs, the Tesla app can be used, which allows for viewing the rate of charge in real time. For guests, standard contactless is also available.
