Under the agreement, the ultra-fast charging sites will host Level 3 chargers, be open to the public 24/7, and provide drivers with up to one hour of free parking while charging

Laz manages and leases a network of distributed real estate encompassing 1.6 million parking spaces in over 3,800 locations in 42 states and 477 cities in the US and Canada.

The ultra-fast charging hubs developed by BP Pulse are classified as Level 3 charging and rated at 250kW or higher. These chargers can provide EV customers with a full charge in 30-45 minutes depending on variables like vehicle type and battery health.  

As Laz's preferred partner for ultra-fast charging nationwide, BP Pulse will work with Laz to identify locations best suited for ultra-fast charging hubs with a focus on key metros and other areas with a high density of vehicles including those with high tenancy housing, universities and hotels. Each site will be publicly available and operate 24/7 to ensure drivers can charge when they need to. As part of the charging experience, EV drivers will receive up to one hour of free parking when they charge using the BP Pulse app.

"This collaboration with LAZ supports the delivery of our strategy to bring EV charging to major metro areas at locations where drivers are already going in their day-to-day routines," said Sujay Sharma, CEO BP Pulse America. "These LAZ locations will be a welcome addition to BP's own extensive real estate footprint across the US and BP Pulse's existing third-party relationships like our recently announced plans with Simon Property Group, amongst others."
