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, according to the announcement.
The access is not limited to ChargeHub users. Chargers will also be available to drivers of other e-mobility service providers and automakers connected to Passport Hub. That means a partner already linked to the hub can offer its customers access to BP Pulse sites without drivers registering separately with BP Pulse, based on ChargeHub's description of the platform.
What the integration covers
Passport Hub connects charging networks with mobility service providers and vehicle manufacturers. Its purpose is to simplify public charging access by letting drivers use existing apps and services across multiple networks instead of registering separately with each charge point operator. For BP Pulse, joining the platform extends the reach of its North American infrastructure through third-party platforms. For ChargeHub, it adds another charging network to its roaming ecosystem.
The announcement states the number of charging points and locations but does not specify how many are rapid or ultra-rapid chargers. It also does not say whether all 850 points are available through every Passport Hub partner. Those two points remain unspecified in the announcement.
Why roaming hubs matter
Roaming arrangements are intended to reduce fragmentation in public charging. Instead of requiring drivers to hold accounts with each network, a hub model lets participating providers exchange access. The approach is relevant where drivers use multiple networks, though actual coverage depends on which networks, eMSPs and automakers participate and what each partner enables in its app.
Sujay Sharma, BP Pulse's VP of EV charging for the US, said the partnership expands access to the BP Pulse network through trusted roaming partners. He added that charging networks working better together benefits the broader EV ecosystem and is a step toward accelerating EV adoption.
Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub, said a major network choosing to connect through Passport Hub signals that the hub model has become the way roaming is done in North America. He noted that because Passport Hub is a hub, the effect goes beyond the ChargeHub app: eMSPs and automakers in the ecosystem can offer drivers access to BP Pulse fast chargers through connections they already have. When a major network joins, he said, the whole ecosystem improves at once.
The announcement does not disclose financial terms or the split between AC and DC charging. The stated scope is more than 850 charging points across more than 95 locations, accessible through ChargeHub and participating Passport Hub partners.
