bp pulse makes 850+ EV fast chargers easier to use in the US

EV drivers have another way to charge at bp pulse without adding its app to their phones. The network has joined ChargeHub’s Passport Hub, connecting more than 850 charging points at over 95 US locations to ChargeHub and participating charging services and automakers.

Drivers can find, access, and pay for bp pulse charging through ChargeHub or participating services connected to Passport Hub.

Passport Hub handles the connections between charging networks and the services drivers use, including exchanging session information and settling payments. That lets a charging operator connect to multiple services through a single integration.

In practice, ChargeHub users can pull up a bp pulse location, select a port, and start charging from their existing account. The app displays the charging cost and wallet balance, and drivers need funds in their ChargeHub wallet to begin charging.

ChargeHub also shows real-time charger availability and lets drivers filter by connector type. Its bp pulse guide says most of the network’s chargers use CCS, with a growing share offering NACS.

Meanwhile, bp pulse has been adding physical charging sites, too. Recent openings include 12 charging bays at a TravelCenters of America location in Grand Bay, Alabama, and 22 bays near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Before starting a session, check the price shown in the app. ChargeHub’s guide notes that its Plus subscription waives activation fees, so using an existing account doesn’t necessarily mean paying the same total as another payment method.
