BP Pulse EV Chargers Added to ChargeHub Roaming Network

BP Pulse has integrated its entire U.S. EV charging network into ChargeHub’s Passport Hub ecosystem, allowing drivers to access nearly 900 DC fast chargers through a single roaming app.

What Happened

The integration connects BP Pulse’s charging infrastructure with ChargeHub, which claims to be the largest roaming network in North America. Users can now find, access, and pay for charging at BP Pulse locations using the ChargeHub app, which provides real-time data on port availability and connector types. The BP Pulse network consists of 874 fast chargers, with roughly one-third equipped with Tesla-style NACS connectors, while the majority feature CCS1 plugs and some include CHAdeMO options. The stations utilize hardware from Tritium (up to 150 kW), ABB (180 kW), and Alpitronic (400 kW), with the largest site in Inglewood, California, featuring 48 stalls. Pricing for charging at these locations ranges from $0.33/kWh to $0.65/kWh.

Why It Matters

This consolidation reduces fragmentation for EV drivers who previously needed separate apps to locate and pay for charging at different networks. By integrating with ChargeHub, BP Pulse expands its reach to users of over 40 different operators in the United States and Canada, alongside access to more than 70 additional networks, including Tesla, Ionna, and Electrify America. While BP Pulse chargers support on-site credit card readers and Plug & Charge for select Ford and BMW vehicles, the roaming app offers a streamlined experience for planning trips and managing payments across multiple brands. Sujay Sharma, VP of EV Charging at BP Pulse, stated that the partnership aims to make charging simple and reliable, benefiting the broader EV ecosystem.

The Bottom Line

BP Pulse drivers can now use the ChargeHub app to locate and pay for charging at nearly 900 U.S. ports, joining a roaming network that includes dozens of other major operators and simplifying the charging experience for EV owners.
