BP Pulse, the EV charging operator managed by petrol giant bp, says it has installed its first charging sites in Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, as well as two new charging hubs in Victoria, each with 8 charging points.
The new EV charging points are located at existing BP locations and vary according to site. The first BP Pulse EV charging location in Tasmania can be found in the suburb of Moonah, just north of Hobart and boasts 4 ultra-fast charging bays with speeds up to 150kW.
Conversely, the new BP Pulse charging location in Canberra, located just down from Manuka Oval in the suburb of Kingston, features only two DC charging bays with speeds up to 50kW.

The two new Victorian charging hubs are located in Caroline Springs and Northpoint in the west and north of Melbourne, respectively. Both locations feature 6 CCS2 bays with speeds of up to 150kW, and two CCS2 bays with charging speeds of up to 300kW.
BP Pulse has also rolled out its first 12-bay charging hub in New Zealand, with plans to extend this across to Australia – although no destinations have been identified yet.

Here in WA we have only two. IN SA none at all
BP and Ampol need to roll these out along the Hume, at all their service stations.
Public relations exercise by bp. Throwing ev owners a bone after doing a U-turn on their renewables promises. Shameless liars.
