bp pulse has opened its first electric vehicle (EV) charging site in Massachusetts, establishing a new Gigahub near Boston Logan International Airport as part of its broader plan to scale ultrafast charging infrastructure in high-demand locations across the United States.
The site, located at Hertz’s parking and maintenance facility at 450 William F. McClellan Highway, features 20 EV charging bays equipped with a mix of 400kW and 150kW DC fast chargers. The chargers are powered by Eversource, the region’s utility provider. bp pulse is offering launch pricing of $0.36 per kilowatt-hour (excluding taxes and fees) at the Boston location for a limited time.
