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 companies announced.

The integration enables electric-vehicle drivers to find, access and pay for charging at BP Pulse sites through the ChargeHub app. Access will also 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 does not specify how many are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers. Nor does it state whether all 850-plus points can be used through every Passport Hub partner.

Passport Hub is ChargeHub’s roaming platform, linking charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers. It is intended to simplify public charging by letting drivers use their existing apps and services across multiple networks rather than registering separately with each charge point operator.

Under this arrangement, BP Pulse remains the operator of its charging sites while ChargeHub provides an additional route for discovery, access and payment. For BP Pulse, the agreement extends the reach of its North American infrastructure through a wider range of third-party platforms. For ChargeHub, it adds another network to its roaming ecosystem.

Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse’s vice president of EV charging in the United States, said the partnership expands access to the BP Pulse network through trusted roaming partners. He said charging networks working together more effectively benefits the entire 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 is a strong signal that the hub model has become the way roaming is done in North America. Because the platform operates as a hub, he said, its impact goes beyond the ChargeHub app: e-mobility service providers and automakers in the ecosystem can offer their drivers access to BP Pulse fast chargers through connections they already have.

The companies presented the agreement as an expansion of roaming access rather than a new charging build-out. Their statements focus on the number of charging points and locations, the access and payment route through Passport Hub, and the intended benefit of reducing the need for drivers to manage separate network registrations.

For drivers, the practical effect depends on whether their charging app or vehicle brand participates in Passport Hub. The announcement does not provide charger power levels by site, pricing, a start date for the integration or site-level availability across partners.
