About this app

Get energy effortlessly when you’re charging on the go with the bp pulse app.

Our network is one of the Uk’s largest – with more than 9,000 EV charging points.

Register on the app and upgrade to a bp pulse subscription to:
• Unlock your special free offer, 1 month free subscription*
• Pay 20% less** than when you Pay as You Go with our best on the go charging tariff.
• Order a bp pulse charge card if you’d prefer a different way to start your charge.

Or register as a free Pay as You Go user and simply add a payment card within the app wallet to get started.

Both Subscribers and Pay as You Go users can use the app too:
• Start and stop a charge
• Save your favourite charging points on our live map
• Find available electric vehicle charging stations
• Filter by connector type and kW speed
• Check charging history and download VAT receipts

Whether you’re shopping for groceries, travelling or staying in a hotel – plug in, power up and go with the bp pulse app.

* Subscription is £7.85 a month collected via your chosen payment card from the second month. T&Cs of the network apply.
**Pay on average 20% less than Contactless rates when using chargers on our standard price tariffs within the bp pulse network as available here. Savings vary by charger type (Fast = 25%, Rapid = 20%, UFC = 19% less). Rates & average subscriber savings are subject to change.
bp’s here for your travel needs – mostly with petrol and diesel – but bp pulse already has over 3,000 rapid and ultra-fast charging points.

Ratings and reviews

Apps like this encourage people to stay away from EVs. I cannot even login, where I get an "unable to complete setup, we are unable to update your account" error. I'm yet to deal with the other issues others having, but not there yet. I verified my phone number/email etc. and I don't understand why it's is so hard.. I applied for credit cards faster than this in the past, but cannot even create an account to pay for a service. Bad. Really bad.. Less bonus and more app development, BP?

I only occasionally use Pulse, but in the past it's usually worked. Just tried it on a 7kW charger that doesn't take contactless, and the app just hangs - spinning circle on white screen forever. Had to give up and find somewhere else. I see the app was only updated a week ago, something's been broken. Rubbish quality control.

Doesn't work - use the website instead. More detail: wouldn't open at all on my own phone. Locked my account on new one. I've finally had my account unlocked, trying to order a charge card so I never have to wrestle with it in a car park and the "Contine to card authorisation" button doesn't actually do anything. It isn't always the same fault, but every single time I try to use that app something makes it not actually work.
