BP Pulse Joins ChargeHub Roaming Network, Adding 874 DC Fast Chargers
BP Pulse's nearly 900 DC fast-charging ports in the US are now accessible through ChargeHub's roaming app, simplifying access for EV drivers across dozens of networks.
BP Pulse, the EV-charging arm of the oil major BP, has integrated its entire North American DC fast-charging network into ChargeHub's roaming platform. The move means drivers can now find, plug in, and pay for BP Pulse chargers through a single app alongside thousands of other stalls from dozens of operators, according to InsideEVs.
What's in the network
- Scale: approximately 900 DC fast-charging ports (874 chargers per DCFC Tracker data)
- Connector mix: roughly one-third of ports use the NACS (Tesla-style) connector; the majority are CCS1; a small number support CHAdeMO
- Power range: chargers span three tiers — 150 kW (Tritium), 180 kW (ABB), and 400 kW (Alpitronic)
- Largest site: the Inglewood, California location with 48 stalls
- Pricing: $0.33 to $0.65 per kilowatt-hour depending on location and time of day
How it works for drivers
Through the ChargeHub Passport Hub ecosystem, users can locate available BP Pulse chargers, view real-time port status and connector type, and pay in-app. On-site credit-card readers remain available at each station, so an app is not strictly required. BP Pulse also supports Plug & Charge, though the feature is currently limited to Ford and BMW vehicles and only on the fastest chargers.
Why it matters for Canadian drivers
While BP Pulse's network is currently US-based, the roaming model it now participates in is the template Canadian operators are building toward. ChargeHub-style interoperability — one account, one app, many networks — is the standard Canadian EV drivers will expect as the domestic fast-charging network matures. The consolidation trend mirrors Mercedes-Benz's sale of its European network to Electra (covered separately), reinforcing that OEM- and brand-owned charging is giving way to large, multi-brand roaming platforms.
