bp pulse advances rapid & ultra-fast EV charging network rollout in the UK
bp pulse, a leading EV charging network in the UK, has made significant progress in delivering the roll-out of rapid and ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in 2023. Last year, the company committed to investing £1 billion in the UK’s EV infrastructure over the next decade, with a focus on rapid and ultra-fast charging in convenient locations for drivers.
In the last year, bp pulse has more than doubled the number of ultra-fast charge points on its UK public network and now operates over 3,000 high speed charge points across the UK.
Investment in the latest charging technology has been delivered alongside great progress in bp pulse’s reliability across the network.
bp pulse is developing its new EV charging hubs at major transport intersections, on trunk roads and at the heart of the UK road network.
The company recently announced a collaboration with development firm The Galliard Apsley Partnership to expand its UK electric vehicle (EV) charging network.
The joint venture between Galliard Homes and Apsley House Capital will help the mobility company in tackling one of the key challenges to sustain e-mobility -the availability of land suitable for EV charging sites. Its goal is to expand its network of Gigahubs across the country.
The collaboration would see the development firm identify, acquire, and develop prime locations for bp pulse charging sites, including assisting with obtaining planning permissions, securing suitable pre-lets and building the hubs.
“This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering fast, reliable and convenient charging in the right locations for EV drivers. By combining our strengths with Galliard Apsley we believe we will accelerate the growth of our EV charging network in the UK,” said Akira Kirton, Vice President at bp pulse UK.
Galliard will support bp pulse with a comprehensive solution to the challenge of acquiring suitable land – paving the way for initial development of more charging hubs in urban locations and on strategic transport network points.
This reflects bp pulse’s ambition to enhance the overall charging experience for EV drivers.
