BP Pulse opens charging hubs near Stansted Airport

BP Pulse has announced the launch of its new EV charging hub at BP Stansted SF Connect retail site which is a five-minute drive from the airport.

The new charging hub features three 300kW chargers which are capable of charging two cars simultaneously, providing a total of six charging bays. 

This is intended to maximise convenience for those on the go, including travellers and taxi drivers.

Akira Kirton, CEO at BP Pulse UK, said: “The launch of this new charging hub is yet another step in our commitment to expanding our charging network and supporting the expansion of the UK’s EV infrastructure. 

"The site’s close proximity to Stansted Airport makes it the ideal choice for travellers and taxi drivers who need a quick and convenient charge.”

Over 150 of BP’s UK retail sites have BP Pulse charging bays. The company said that while they are delivering the charging infrastructure drivers want and need, barriers remain including securing high-power grid connections and planning permissions.
