bp has opened its new electric-vehicle charging site in Houston, TX, expanding its network of EV chargers in the US. The new bp pulse station is the first bp pulse branded Gigahub™ in the U.S. The Gigahub™ will offer 24 high-speed EV charge points with Tritium 150kW DC fast chargers. The chargers will be integrated with the bp pulse app, allowing users to locate the site, access real-time charging availability, and connect to WiFi.
bp pulse aims to continue deploying additional charging points at high-demand locations, such as airports, major metropolitan areas, and bp-owned properties across the US.
In 2023 bp announced plans to invest $1 billion in America’s EV charging infrastructure by 2030. bp pulse has committed to deliver 3,000 charge points by 2025.
EV charging is one of bp’s five strategic transition growth engines in which the company expects to significantly grow investment through this decade.
