BP Pulse’s 874 DC fast-charging ports in the United States have been added to ChargeHub’s Passport Hub roaming ecosystem. Drivers can use the ChargeHub app to find BP Pulse chargers, check real-time availability and connector types, and pay for charging, though BP Pulse stations also have credit card readers.
BP Pulse’s 874 DC fast-charging ports in the United States are now part of ChargeHub’s Passport Hub roaming ecosystem, allowing drivers to locate stations, check charger availability and connector types, and pay through the ChargeHub app. The integration gives drivers an alternative to BP Pulse’s own app when planning or starting a charging session.
InsideEVs reported that the BP Pulse network has been integrated into ChargeHub’s platform, which brings together charging stations operated by multiple companies. In ChargeHub’s app, drivers can search for BP Pulse locations and view real-time port availability and connector information. The app also supports access and payment for charging sessions, according to the report.
BP Pulse’s 874 fast chargers include a mix of plugs: roughly one-third have NACS connectors, while most of the remaining ports use CCS1; some have CHAdeMO connectors. BP Pulse sites also have on-site credit card readers, so drivers do not have to use either company’s app to pay at the charger.
The report describes three charger types on the network: Tritium units rated up to 150 kW, ABB dispensers rated at 180 kW, and Alpitronic chargers rated at 400 kW. Station size varies, from sites with two stalls to a 48-stall location in Inglewood, California. Reported prices range from $0.33 to $0.65 per kilowatt-hour; the price at a particular station may vary.
More Ways to Find BP Pulse Chargers
The integration may make BP Pulse stations easier to find for drivers who already use ChargeHub to plan trips or pay at other charging networks. Rather than switching between provider-specific apps to check locations, drivers can look for BP Pulse ports in the same interface as stations from other operators. That is useful for route planning, especially when a vehicle’s connector or charging needs narrow the available options.
Showing live availability and connector types can help drivers make a more informed stop before arriving. The change does not, by itself, add chargers or guarantee that every listed port will be operational when a driver reaches it. But another way to discover and access the network can reduce the need to rely on a single provider’s app. Credit card readers remain an alternative for people who prefer not to pay through an app.

What the ChargeHub Integration Covers
ChargeHub’s Passport Hub is a roaming platform that connects drivers with charging networks through a shared app experience. InsideEVs reported that the ChargeHub app provides access to charging at more than 40 operators in the United States and Canada, with more than 70 additional networks listed. The report names Tesla, Ionna and Electrify America among those networks, but does not describe identical payment or access arrangements for every operator.
BP Pulse also supports Plug & Charge, which can let a compatible vehicle and charger handle session authorization without starting a session manually in an app. According to the source report, that option is limited to Ford and BMW vehicles and is enabled only at the network’s fastest stalls. Drivers should check compatibility and charger details rather than assume Plug & Charge works at every BP Pulse location.
The integration adds an app-based access route, but it does not remove existing ways to use BP Pulse chargers. Drivers can continue to use BP Pulse’s own app or pay at a station’s card reader. The source report does not provide a launch date beyond describing the network as now integrated.
““We’re focused on making charging simple, reliable, and easy to access wherever drivers need it.””
— Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse vice president of EV Charging
Details Drivers Still Need to Check
The source report does not specify whether every BP Pulse port is visible in ChargeHub at all times, how frequently availability data refreshes, or whether ChargeHub applies any separate fees. It also does not give a station-by-station price list or explain whether prices shown in the app match the amount charged at every location.
Network integration does not confirm that a charger is functioning, available on arrival, or compatible with every vehicle. The report gives network-wide connector proportions and price ranges, not the details for each station. Drivers should check the location listing and payment terms in the app or at the charger, and confirm the connector their vehicle can use.
Checking a Station Before You Go
Drivers can search for BP Pulse locations in the ChargeHub app and review the listed connector types and availability before setting out. They can also use the BP Pulse app or pay at the station’s credit card reader. Because availability, pricing and supported features can differ by site, drivers should check the specific charger listing before relying on a particular port or payment option.
The source report does not identify a further rollout date or a new charging-site announcement tied to the integration. The immediate development is the addition of BP Pulse’s existing U.S. ports to ChargeHub’s roaming ecosystem; any future expansion or changes to compatibility and features have not been specified.
