BP Pulse has joined ChargeHub’s Passport Hub, adding more than 850 charging points at over 95 locations to the North American roaming network. The integration lets EV drivers find, access and pay for charging at BP Pulse sites through the ChargeHub app. The chargers are also set to be available to users of other e-mobility service providers and automakers connected to Passport Hub.
The announcement confirms the number of charging points and locations but leaves two important details open. It does not say how many of the 850-plus points are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers, nor whether every point is available through every Passport Hub partner. Those omissions matter for drivers comparing access and for partners assessing the practical reach of the agreement.
Passport Hub is ChargeHub’s roaming platform, connecting charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers. Its purpose is to simplify public charging by letting drivers use apps and services they already have across multiple networks, instead of registering separately with each charge point operator. For BP Pulse, the agreement widens the reach of its North American infrastructure by making it accessible through more third-party platforms. ChargeHub, in turn, adds another charging network to its roaming ecosystem.
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. He also said that charging networks working better together benefits the EV ecosystem and is an important step toward accelerating EV adoption.
Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub, said a network such as BP Pulse choosing Passport Hub signals that the hub model is becoming the way roaming is done in North America. He added that because Passport Hub connects multiple eMSPs and automakers, the effect extends beyond the ChargeHub app: partners can offer their drivers access to BP Pulse charging infrastructure through connections they already have. In his view, one major network joining can improve the whole ecosystem at once.
The agreement is therefore a roaming integration rather than a new charging construction project. Its immediate effect is to place existing BP Pulse sites in front of more drivers and platforms. The extent of that effect will depend on the unanswered questions about charger speed, partner coverage and how quickly connected services make the sites visible and payable in their own apps.
Roaming arrangements are intended to reduce friction for drivers who use multiple charging networks. Rather than carrying separate accounts or learning different payment processes for each operator, drivers can rely on a participating app or vehicle service. For operators, joining a hub can broaden visibility without requiring every automaker or eMSP to strike a separate agreement. The BP Pulse-ChargeHub arrangement follows that model, with the companies presenting it as a way to improve access across the North American charging landscape.
