Our 7kWh electric charging points are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They’re run by BP Pulse and cost you per kWh to use. BP Pulse subscribers can enjoy the best price, followed by pay-as-you-go users.
When you’ve arrived at the BP Pulse charging point, please connect your vehicle using your Type 2 charging cable. Once you’re connected, a message will appear: ‘Please hold RFID card on target above for 2 seconds.’
If you have a RFID card, please present this. Alternatively, use the BP Pulse app to begin charging:
The lights next to the charging socket will turn green to indicate a successful connection. When you’ve finished charging, click ‘Stop Charge’ in the app. It might take a couple of seconds for your cable to release.
Please don’t press the red emergency stop button unless there is a real emergency: this will disable the unit until an engineer is able to come to the charge point.
If you have any questions or queries, please call BP Pulse’s 24/7 customer services team on 0330 016 5126.
