bp pulse is one of the most extensive charging networks in the UK. They operate thousands of charging points across the country. Their chargers charge at speeds between 3.6 kW - 150 kW. They are one of the most popular charging networks in the country.
They have a membership option for £7.99, which allows you to access their stations at a lower price. BP bought Chargemaster and integrated it with the Polar network in December 2020 and rebranded the two networks into what is now named bp pulse.
bp pulse’s maximum charging speed available at their points is 150 kW. They provide EV charging to other charging networks like ChargePlace Scotland and ChargeYourCar. bp pulse also manufactures and sells home and work charging stations which you can have installed at your home or workplace.
bp pulse has over 9000 charging points in the UK. These points are well spread across the country, with no part of the UK having no chargers, although they operate less in Wales and Scotland and only have 2 charging locations in Northern Ireland.
They have one of the best rapid charging networks in the UK, with over 3000 rapid and ultra-rapid charging points, which allow you to charge your EV as fast as possible.
The bp pulse network provides slow, fast, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers which charge between speeds of 3.6 kW - 150 kW. bp pulse provides various speeds to give their customers various charging choices. They use the Type 2 connector for AC charging, the standard AC connector in Europe.
They use the CCS and CHAdeMO connectors for DC charging. The CCS connector is the European standard DC connector, while the CHAdeMO connector is not provided for in many other public charging networks.
To help you understand how fast each charging speed will charge your EV, we’ve calculated how long it would take to charge three of the UK’s most popular EVs from 10 - 80% charge.
We’ve calculated 10 - 80% because you should avoid draining your EV's battery or filling it to 100%, as this can damage the battery condition. Most EVs slow their charge as they get closer to 100%.
The three EVs we use to calculate charging speeds are the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and the Jaguar I-Pace.
A 3.6 kW charger is a slow charger which uses the Type 2 connector for AC charging. It’s one of the slowest speeds available in the UK and is comparable to a slow home charging station.
It would take the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf 7 hours and 46 minutes to charge from 10 - 80% using this charger. It would also take the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 14 hours and 15 minutes to charge 10 - 80% and 17 hours and 30 minutes for the Jaguar I-Pace.
The 7 kW charger uses the Type 2 connector for AC charging. These chargers are best used for topping up your EV as they take a long time to charge.
Using this charger to charge the EVs from 10 - 80% would take the following times. It would take the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf 4 hours and 15 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 7 hours and 30 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 9 hours.
bp pulse’s 43 kW charger uses the Type 2 connector for AC charging. Most EV chargers’ max AC charging speed is below 43 kW, so this will probably charge your EV as fast as its Type 2 connector lets it.
It would take the 43 kW charger 4 hours and 15 minutes to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80% charge. It would take the Tesla Model 3 Logn Range 4 hours and 46 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 5 hours and 42 minutes.
bp pulse’s 50 kW charger uses the CCS and CHAdeMO connectors for DC charging. Not all public networks charge the CHAdeMO connector as it is not the European standard DC connector. 50 kW is the most common DC charging speed in the UK.
Using this charger to charge from 10 - 80% would take the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf 36 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 1 hour and 3 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 1 hour and 15 minutes.
A 100 kW charger is an ultra-rapid charger which uses the CCS and CHAdeMO connector for DC charging.
It would take 36 minutes to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80% charge; it would take the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 31 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace 37 minutes.
bp pulse’s 150 kW charger uses the CCS connector for DC charging. They don’t provide 150 kW charging speeds for the CHAdeMO connector. 150 kW is much faster than the average DC charging speed in the UK.
It would take 36 minutes to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80% using this charger, it would take the Tesla Model 3 Long Range 21 minutes, and it would take the Jaguar I-Pace 37 minutes.
bp pulse has different charging fees depending on which charging speed your access. They have different prices for members, registered customers and contactless guests.
Members, who must pay £7.85 a month, pay 44p for AC charging, 55p for 43/50 kW charging and 65p for ultra-rapid charging.
Registered customers must register with bp pulse, and then they can access slightly discounted charging. Registered customers pay 57p for AC charging, 67p for 43/50 kW charging and 77p for ultra-rapid charging.
Contactless guests who don’t register pay slightly more for 43/50 kW and Ultra-rapid charging. They pay 57p for AC charging, 69p for 43/50 kW, and 79p for ultra-rapid charging.
bp pulse’s charging spaces have a £10 overstay fee for anyone who charges over 90 minutes on their 50 - 150 kW chargers.
bp pulse is a great expansive charging network with charging points in every region. They are one of the best networks if you’re interested in rapid charging. They’re well-priced, but it might not be worth paying for their membership unless you go to their points exclusively.
If you’re interested in discounted public charging, you should download Bonnet. Bonnet is our app allowing EV owners to access over 17 public charging networks, each providing a range of speeds, locations and prices. You don’t need to clutter your phone with public charging network apps to charge; all you need is Bonnet.
We can help you access great charging prices if you join our membership option, Bonnet Boosts. Bonnet Boosts can help you save up to 15% off your EV charging within our partners’ networks. There are two membership options.
Light Boost costs just £2 a month. ; this lets you get 10% off your EV charging bill. That’s just £24 annually for hundreds of pounds worth of savings. Light Boost allows you to access thousands of chargings points across the UK and abroad.
Our other membership option is Turbo Boost which is £8 a month. Turbo Boost lets you get 15% off all your EV charging within our 17+ charging networks. Turbo Boost is the best option for EV drivers who frequently charge at public charging stations.
Bonnet makes finding the perfect charging spot easy. All you have to do is download our app, and then you can access thousands of charging spots across the country, each providing different charging speeds and locations. There is always a charging point near you within Bonnet’s 17+ partners’ charging networks wherever you are.
