bp pulse has opened six ultra-fast charging hubs in the Midlands this year, providing vital infrastructure for drivers and businesses across the region

bp has boosted electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the Midlands in 2023, opening a total of six ultra-fast charging hubs in the region. Hubs in Dudley, Kettering, Tamworth, Uttoxeter and Mansfield all opened this year, as well as the UK’s largest EV charging hub at the NEC in Birmingham in September. In total, these sites enable 80 EVs to charge at ultra-fast 150kW speeds simultaneously.
The EV transition is already well underway in the Midlands. In just the last 3 months, there have been over 100,000 charging sessions bp pulse charge points across the region. These six new strategically located hubs near the M5, M42, and M6 already provide essential charging infrastructure for EV drivers travelling across Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands and are helping to provide drivers in the region with the confidence they need to make the switch to an EV.
The sites offer the charging speeds drivers want, in the locations they need them. The ultra-fast 150 kW charge points are capable of adding up to 100 miles of range in around 15 minutes (depending on vehicle type) and have been installed in sites close to major transport links like the M42, M6 M1 and Birmingham Airport.
