Arcadis, a leading global design and consultancy organization for natural and built assets, has announced the completion of bp’s (NYSE: BP) latest high-speed EV charging site at the company’s headquarters in Houston, Texas. The new bp pulse station is the first bp pulse branded GigahubTM in the US for their EV charging business. Arcadis delivered program and construction management for the installation of 24 high-speed charge points at bp’s campus.
Twelve Tritium 150kW DC fast chargers were installed at the site, configured to charge any electric vehicle. Parking canopies designed to support a Solar PV system may be added in the future. The site is designed to accommodate potential expansion with additional chargers, as well as restrooms, a lounge, and a convenience store.
“We are proud to work with bp pulse on energy transition projects such as these that accelerate a planet positive future,” said [Arcadis representative name]. “Arcadis, like bp, is committed to moving the energy transition forward. Delivering this project in Houston, the energy capital of the world, is particularly impactful.”
The new EV charging facility will provide increased capacity for electric vehicle charging across greater Houston, making EV ownership more convenient and helping to reduce driver hesitation to switch from gas and diesel vehicles to full electric vehicles. The new charging Gigahub is a critical addition to the city that is seeing a rapidly growing number of electric vehicles.
“The opening of our first bp pulse Gigahub is a major step in bp pulse’s plans to build out a national EV charging network,” said [bp pulse representative name]. “EV drivers need access to reliable, fast, on-the-go charging to enable an exceptional customer experience. Working with leaders in the space, like Arcadis, is allowing us to deliver the charging experience EV drivers need in Houston and beyond.”
bp unveiled the new charging Gigahub during the CERAWeek by S&P Global Conference. The facility is now open to the public.
