BP Pulse has joined ChargeHub's Passport Hub roaming platform, bringing more than 850 charging points across over 95 locations into the North American network. The integration allows EV drivers to find, access and pay for charging at BP Pulse sites directly through the ChargeHub app, rather than registering separately with the charge point operator.
Access extends beyond ChargeHub's own app. The BP Pulse sites will also be reachable by users of other e-mobility service providers (eMSPs) and by automakers connected to Passport Hub. The platform is designed to link charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers, so drivers can keep using apps and services they already have across multiple networks instead of opening a new account with each operator.
For drivers, the change sits behind the plug rather than at it: the practical difference is which app surfaces the location and where the session is billed, with the roaming arrangement handled inside the driver's existing service.
Details not disclosed
The companies shared the number of charging points and locations but not their composition. The announcement does not say how many of the 850-plus points are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers, nor whether all of them are available through every Passport Hub partner. Those points matter for drivers judging whether the added roaming access covers the fast charging they rely on for longer journeys. No timeline for the integration and no commercial terms were disclosed.
For BP Pulse, the agreement widens the reach of its North American network by making its infrastructure available through a broader set of third-party platforms. For ChargeHub, it adds another charging network to the ecosystem built around Passport Hub.
How the two companies frame it
Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse's vice president of EV charging in the US, said the partnership expands access to the company's network through roaming partners that drivers on the road already trust, and that charging networks working more closely together benefits the whole EV ecosystem and is a step toward faster EV adoption. Simon Ouellette, ChargeHub's CEO, said that when a network such as BP Pulse chooses to connect through Passport Hub, it is a strong signal that the hub approach has become the established way roaming is handled in North America. Because the model is a hub, he added, the impact reaches past the ChargeHub app itself: eMSPs and automakers in the ecosystem can offer their drivers access to BP Pulse fast chargers through connections they already have, so a single major network joining improves the offering across the ecosystem at once.
