Ultra-fast Gigahubs to be rolled out at 75 Simon locations, adding over 900 charging bays across the country.
bp pulse has signed a new agreement to install and operate electric vehicle (EV) charging Gigahubs on 75 sites with real estate investment trust Simon Property Group.
This deal will deliver over 900 ultra-fast charging bays, with the first locations opening to the public in early 2026. The partnership is part of the company's focus on delivering charging infrastructure in the locations customers want and need, through collaboration and new-to-industry builds.
“The Simon portfolio aligns with bp pulse’s strategy to deploy ultra-fast charging across the West Coast, East Coast, Sun Belt and Great Lakes, and we are thrilled to team up with Simon so that EV drivers have a range of retail offerings at their impressive destinations,” said Richard Bartlett, CEO bp pulse.
Simon is a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations.
The charging stations will be found via the Simon electric vehicle charging webpage, all major map platforms, and the bp pulse app. The brand’s proprietary energy management solution, Omega, will optimize energy usage on site.
