BP Pulse has joined ChargeHub's Passport Hub platform, bringing more than 850 charging points across over 95 locations into the North American roaming network, according to the announcement.
The integration allows EV drivers to find, access and pay for charging at BP Pulse sites through the ChargeHub app. The same sites will also become reachable for users of other e-mobility service providers (eMSPs) and automakers connected to Passport Hub, so access extends beyond ChargeHub's own customer base.
The announcement did not specify how many of the 850-plus points are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers, nor whether every point is available through every Passport Hub partner. Both points bear on how much of the added capacity supports en-route, long-distance charging rather than shorter destination sessions, and how uniform access will be across the hub's participants.
Passport Hub is ChargeHub's roaming platform, connecting charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers. It is designed to simplify access to public charging by letting drivers use apps and services they already have across multiple networks, instead of registering separately with each charge point operator.
For BP Pulse, the agreement widens the reach of its North American charging network by making its infrastructure available through a broader set of third-party platforms. For ChargeHub, it adds another network to the roaming ecosystem the company is assembling.
Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse's vice president of EV charging for the US, said the partnership expands access to the bp pulse network through trusted roaming partners for drivers on the road. Charging networks working better together benefits the entire EV ecosystem and is an important step toward accelerating EV adoption, he said.
Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub, said a network such as bp pulse choosing to connect through Passport Hub is a strong signal that the hub model has become the way roaming gets done in North America. Because the connection runs through a hub, he said, the impact reaches beyond the ChargeHub app: eMSPs and automakers in the ecosystem can offer their drivers access to bp pulse fast chargers through connections they already hold. When one major network joins, he added, the whole ecosystem improves at once.
The arrangement reflects a pattern in which charging networks link up with roaming intermediaries rather than building a separate integration with each service provider. On the descriptions given, the practical result for drivers is fewer separate accounts, while operators gain wider visibility for their sites without negotiating every partnership individually.
