Author: Shivani Kumaresan | July 11, 2024 09:37am

BP PLC (NYSE:BP) has announced an expansion of its global EV charging business, bp pulse, through a new deal with Simon Property Group Inc (NYSE:SPG).

This collaboration will see the installation and operation of EV charging Gigahubs at 75 Simon properties, providing over 900 ultra-fast charging bays across the U.S. The first locations are expected to be operational by early 2026.

The partnership with Simon is part of BP’s broader initiative to deliver EV charging infrastructure in key locations.

BP had previously put forward its intention of expanding the Gigahub network near airports, metropolitan areas, and its branded convenience stores and TravelCenters of America locations.

Richard Bartlett, CEO of bp pulse said, “The Simon portfolio aligns with bp pulse’s strategy to deploy ultra-fast charging across the West Coast, East Coast, Sun Belt and Great Lakes, and we are thrilled to team up with Simon so that EV drivers have a range of retail offerings at their impressive destinations.”
