The BP Pulse charging network has recently opened its first DC fast-charging site in Arizona. The company’s ongoing expansion across the US also includes new stations in Texas, Florida, and Ohio.

All the new locations feature 400-kW chargers, equipped with CCS1 and NACS connectors for maximum compatibility.

BP Pulse Enters Arizona

The first site in Arizona, pictured in the leading image, is located off I-10 (Exit 200) at a Petro Travel Center, 5235 N Sunland Gin Rd, Eloy, AZ 85131. It has 16 bays with charging power of up to 400 kW, as well as amenities: a convenience store, restrooms, an on-site diner, and a barber shop.

As BP Pulse expands its network, it is taking advantage of BP’s location portfolio, including Travel Centers of America (TA) and Petro locations. Many of these sites are strategically located across key highway corridors.

BP Pulse in Florida: A Hub at FLL International Airport

Last month, BP Pulse deployed another DC fast-charging airport hub. After installing a hub at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), near San Francisco International Airport (SFO), near Boston Logan Airport (BOS), and near Houston’s Hobby Airport, it was time to deploy one in Florida.

The company installed 16 bays (some 150-kW and some 400-kW) about 3 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). The location supports ride-hailing drivers, EV rental returns, and airport pickups and drop-offs. Let’s recall that BP Pulse partners with Hertz.

BP Pulse in Texas and Ohio

A slightly smaller site, with 12 400-kW chargers, was deployed at a Petro Travel Center in Texas (1295 Horizon Blvd, El Paso, TX 79927). Meanwhile, in Ohio, the network installed six 400-kW stalls at TA Travel Center (10679 Lancaster Rd, Hebron).

BP Pulse: 70 Sites, 500+ Stalls

According to the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), the BP Pulse network already has roughly 70 DC fast-charging locations in the United States with 537 individual stalls. On average, the company installs about eight stalls per location.

The data indicates that a substantial portion of the bays have NACS connectors (89, or 17%), and a quarter (129) offer a power level of 350 kW or higher.

The US EV charging network remains relatively small (see the map here), especially when compared with BP’s existing retail network of more than 8,000 refueling locations in 46 states. However, it is consistently expanding.

The expansion of the BP Pulse charging network includes retail locations from BP, Amoco, ampm, Thorntons, and TravelCenters of America. Starting in 2026, BP Pulse chargers will be installed at Waffle House locations.

Globally, BP Pulse has more than 40,000 charging points (AC and DC) and plans to have 100,000 stalls by 2030.
