London’s first 150kW ultra-fast charging hub

011 Oct 2019

We're continuing the roll out of our 150kW ultra-fast rapid charging units at our site in Hammersmith, London

Powered up this week and made up of four 150kW chargers, the new site is the first ultra-fast charging hub to be installed in London, and part of a nationwide roll out by bp pulse.

Turfan Erginbilgic, Chief Executive of BP’s Downstream business, announced the roll out of ultra-fast chargers on to BP forecourts at the Powering the Charge conference earlier this year, with 400 set to be installed across the country. We then launched bp pulse's first ultra-fast charging site in August this year, with an initial 2 units installed at BP retail site, BP Cranford in Hounslow.

As the number of electric vehicles continues to grow in the UK and more manufacturers introduce next generation EVs with bigger battery capacity and fast charging times, the roll out of an ultra-fast charging network will help drive the growing adoption of electric vehicles. Offering convenient and reliable ultra-fast charging to drivers across the country is essential in supporting this uptake.

The units offer rapid charging of up to 150kW with CHAdeMO and CCS connectors. bp pulse is committed to developing one of the UK’s largest network of ultra-fast charging units over the coming months and years.

The new ultra-fast charging hub can be found at BP Hammersmith Flyover SF Connect, Talgarth Road, Hammersmith, W6 8BJ.
