The newly announced integration allows EV drivers to find, access and pay for charging at BP Pulse sites through the ChargeHub app. The chargers will also become accessible to users of other e-mobility service providers (eMSPs) and automakers connected to Passport Hub. While the number of charging points and locations have been shared, the announcement does not specify how many are rapid- or ultra-rapid chargers, or whether all 850 points are available through every Passport Hub partner.
Passport Hub is ChargeHub’s roaming platform which connects charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers. It is designed to simplify access to public charging by allowing drivers to use their existing apps and services across multiple networks, rather than registering separately with each charge point operator.
For BP Pulse, the agreement thus expands the reach of its North American charging network by making its infrastructure accessible through a wider range of third-party platforms. ChargeHub, meanwhile, adds another charging network to its roaming ecosystem.
Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse’s VP of EV Charging, US, explained: “By partnering with ChargeHub, we’re expanding access to the bp pulse network through trusted roaming partners for EV drivers on the road. Charging networks working better together benefits the entire EV ecosystem and is an important step toward accelerating EV adoption.”
Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub, added: “When a network like bp pulse chooses to connect through Passport Hub, it’s a strong signal that the hub model has become the way roaming gets done in North America. And because it’s a hub, the impact goes well beyond the ChargeHub app: the eMSPs and automakers in our ecosystem can now offer their drivers access to bp pulse fast chargers through the connection they already have. When one major network joins, the whole ecosystem gets better at once.”
