bp pulse launches new charging hub in central London

Located at Q-Park Pimlico, the new Gigahub joins the existing one in Park Lane and features eight 150kW chargers alongside two dedicated charge points for Uber drivers.

bp pulse has opened its most powerful charging hub in central London. Located at Q-Park Pimlico in the Borough of Westminster, the hub features eight ultra-fast 150kW chargers.

Sixteen electric vehicles can charge simultaneously at the latest addition to bp pulse's network in Greater London. The company currently operates over 570 charge points, including approximately 50 ultra-fast chargers.

The chargers will be available to individual customers as well as bp pulse's numerous fleet customers, including Uber whose drivers will be able to take advantage of two dedicated charge points at the site.

“We have seen ultra-fast charging sessions on the bp pulse public network in London double over the last two years, so it's clear that there is appetite for this technology. At bp pulse, we’re focused on ultra-fast charging and plan to roll out hundreds of hubs this decade in places EV drivers need them,” said Akira Kirton, vice president, bp pulse UK.

The new Pimlico hub, connected by UK Power Networks Services, significantly boosts the ultra-fast EV charging offer in central London. Previously, only thirteen ultra-fast charge points were publicly available across all charge point operators in 2023.
