bp pulse opens a huge airport EV fast charging hub in Houston

bp pulse has opened a new 40-bay EV fast charging hub near Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport, marking the company’s latest move to expand its US charging network. The Hobby Airport hub is bp pulse’s second in Houston, as it opened its first US hub in early 2024 at bp’s Houston headquarters.

The new hub, located at 8100 Monroe Road, is just 1.5 miles from the airport and features 150 kW DC fast chargers designed for ride-hail drivers, airport rental car customers, and local EV owners who need a quick top-up. The chargers are situated under a covered canopy, and drivers can enjoy free wifi while they wait. bp pulse hasn’t indicated which connectors are available, so I’ve emailed them to find out and will update when I hear back.

This latest opening is part of bp pulse’s broader initiative to install EV charging hubs at airports across the US, in partnership with Hertz. The two companies recently opened hubs at SFO, Boston Logan, and LAX, making the latter the largest bp pulse location in the US.

“As our rideshare drivers often turn to EVs, having fast, reliable charging near key locations like Hobby Airport makes a real difference,” said Doria Holbrook, EVP of mobility at Hertz. “This new bp pulse hub offers the convenient access and ultrafast charging our drivers need to stay powered and productive.”

bp pulse is also expanding its network across bp’s retail network of bp, Amoco, ampm, Thorntons, and TravelCenters of America sites. Many of these locations offer additional amenities, such as convenience stores, restaurants, and car washes. The company recently announced plans to add EV chargers at Waffle House locations starting in 2026.
