BP Pulse has joined ChargeHub's Passport Hub, adding more than 850 charging points across over 95 locations to the North American roaming network.
The integration means EV drivers can locate, access and pay for charging at BP Pulse sites directly through the ChargeHub app. Those chargers will also be reachable by users of other e-mobility service providers and automakers that are connected to Passport Hub.
Passport Hub is ChargeHub's roaming platform, linking charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers. Its purpose is to spare drivers from registering separately with each charge point operator by letting them use apps and services they already have across multiple networks.
For BP Pulse, the agreement widens the reach of its North American infrastructure through a broader set of third-party platforms; for ChargeHub, it adds another network to its roaming ecosystem.
The companies did not specify how many of the 850-plus points are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers, nor whether every Passport Hub partner can access all of them.
Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse's VP of EV Charging in the US, said the partnership expands access to the BP Pulse network through trusted roaming partners, adding that networks working better together benefits the wider EV ecosystem and supports faster EV adoption.
Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub, said a network of BP Pulse's scale connecting through Passport Hub signals that the hub model has become the standard way roaming is handled in North America. Because it is a hub, he added, the effect extends beyond the ChargeHub app: service providers and automakers in the ecosystem can offer their drivers access to BP Pulse fast chargers through connections they already hold.
