Published on August 24, 2026 (Updated on August 24, 2026)

A new fast-charging option has just landed in the ChargeHub app. You can now activate the bp pulse network directly from your ChargeHub account. That means broader access to fast chargers, without juggling a separate app or an extra charging card.

It's another step toward ChargeHub's core mission: to simplify the experience for EV drivers.

 

What Is the bp pulse Network?

bp pulse is the charging network run by bp, the global energy company that has become a major player in North American e-mobility. Its chargers show up in strategic spots — think rest stops, shopping complexes, airport areas — all built around one goal: fast, reliable charging, whether you're running errands or deep into a road trip.

California, Illinois, Texas, and Florida rank among the most densely covered markets, with a growing footprint in states like Georgia, Washington, and Utah.

"Every new network added to ChargeHub, like bp pulse, brings our users closer to simple, frictionless charging, wherever they are."
— Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub

Fast Charging You Can Count On

Every bp pulse charger on ChargeHub can deliver over 100 kW, giving you a solid boost of range in about the time it takes to grab a coffee and stretch your legs. It's the fast-charging option for longer trips or whenever you need to get back on the road quickly.

Most bp pulse chargers use the CCS connector, with a growing share now offering NACS as well — and the ChargeHub app lets you filter by connector type, so you can find a compatible charger without the guesswork.

To activate a network, you'll need to be signed in to your ChargeHub account with available funds in your wallet.

Why This Is a Win for Drivers

Adding bp pulse to the app brings a few real perks for ChargeHub users:

  • Broader access: activate and pay for charging on more than 40 networks across North America.
  • Simplicity: one account, one payment method, one app for EV charging.
