BP Pulse EV chargers

About BP Pulse

Chargemaster Limited (branded as bp pulse, formerly BP Chargemaster, chargemaster, POLAR and Polar Plus) is a supplier of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, based in Milton Keynes, England. The company was founded in 2008 by David Martell, the founder and former CEO of Trafficmaster, with shareholders including the venture capital arm of BMW, BMW i Ventures, and technology company Qualcomm. The company launched its POLAR network of public charging points in 2011, and by 2017 the network had over 5,000 public charging points, just under 40% of the total of more than 13,000 charging points in the UK. After being acquired by BP in 2018, the company's legal name changed from Chargemaster plc to Chargemaster Limited, and later that year the company moved from Luton to newly built headquarters in Milton Keynes. In December 2020, the POLAR and Chargemaster brands were replaced by 'bp pulse'. BP Pulse is now rolling out 150kW ultra-rapid chargers and aims to double the size of the bp pulse network in the UK to 16,000 charge points by 2030, with a particular emphasis on ultra-fast chargers.
