Charge point operator BP Pulse said it will extend its partnership with Transport for London (TfL) until at least 2029, continuing efforts to expand and upgrade London’s public fast-charging network for electric vehicles.
The partnership, first established in 2018, has led to the installation of more than 150 fast chargers across multiple London boroughs. Since then, the two partners have been implementing a phased upgrade programme to replace older units with new charging technology.
BP Pulse said that the first three phases of upgrades are now complete, resulting in 130 new chargers, while the fourth phase — covering five additional units — is expected to be finalised by the end of November.
Although details of the next steps have not been disclosed, BP Pulse said that “TfL will continue to partner with bp pulse” on future on-street fast-charging projects. The agreement will remain in effect for at least the next four years, allowing for further expansion of charging access across the city.
Recent projects may offer a glimpse into the direction of the collaboration. In February 2025, BP Pulse opened its first dedicated EV charging hub in Hammersmith, featuring five 300 kW chargers, a roof canopy, and a convenience store. It remains unclear whether future efforts with TfL will focus on developing such standalone charging hubs or prioritise on-street installations.

“We are delighted to extend our agreement with TfL to 2029,” said Valerio Ferro, General Manager of BP Pulse UK. “We’ve been working hard to upgrade the charging infrastructure across London and we’re about to enter the final phase of the upgrade. We’re seeing increased demand on the new chargers, showing how important it is for taxis and ride hails to have the EV infrastructure in the right places.”
