bp signs deal with Simon to expand ultra-fast EV charging network in the US.
bp has announced a deal for bp’s global EV charging business, bp pulse, to install and operate EV charging Gigahubs on 75 sites with Simon, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment, and mixed-use destinations.
The new deal will deliver more than 900 ultra-fast charging bays that support nearly every make and model of EVs on the market today across all locations — with the first locations opening to the public in early 2026.
This deal is part of the company’s focus on delivering charging infrastructure in the locations customers want and need, through collaboration and new-to-industry builds. Simon destinations are just the latest sites identified for the bp pulse EV charging network in the US, following earlier announcements including the build-out of the Gigahub network near airports and major metropolitan areas by installing EV charging across bp’s significant branded convenience store and TravelCenters of America network.
bp pulse is supported by key partners that also have long-term commitments to enabling electrification solutions for consumers. These relationships include real estate partners who bring charging to where EV drivers need it and utilities who ensure site power and permit approvals match the pace and scale of consumer demand.
The charging stations will be found via the Simon electric vehicle charging site, all major map platforms, and the bp pulse app. bp pulse’s proprietary energy management solution, Omega, will optimize energy usage on site.
