BP Pulse recently opened its first EV charging hub in the state of Louisiana, a spokesperson for the company told NACS.
Located at a Travel Centers of America (TA) site in Slidell, Louisiana, the site is located off I-10 and features 12 ultrafast EV charging bays with a mix of CCS and NACS connectors.
“Drivers can enjoy amenities at the Travel Center while charging, including a convenience store, on-site diner and restrooms. This launch builds on BP Pulse’s plans to install EV charging hubs at TA and Petro locations across the U.S. These brands are part of the BP portfolio, with sites strategically located across key highway corridors allowing for enroute charging when and where drivers need it most,” the spokesperson said.
Last month in Utah, BP Pulse opened a new EV charging hub near Salt Lake City International Airport, marking the first BP Pulse hub in the state. BP Pulse said the hub is located less than three miles from the airport and features 24 ultrafast EV charging bays with 400kW chargers and a mix of CCS and NACS connectors.
