EV Charging for BP Plus
EV Charging is a feature of the BP Plus card and is available through your BP Plus account. It allows you to use your BP Plus card to pay for fuel and EV charging, all through the one card.
- Manage your fleet’s fuel and charging needs through a single account.
- Retain your existing bp invoicing arrangement and payment terms.
- Issue cards with permissions to suit your requirements. e.g., enable cards only for EV charging or select from product permission sets that enable services such as motorspirit, diesel, carwash, shop, etc.
- Manage card ordering, reports, etc. all from the same BP Plus online portal you use today.
- A streamlined and efficient ‘tap and charge’ experience.
* Qantas points are not earned on EV charging for BP Plus.
Card ordering process
New BP Plus cards will need to be ordered to enable EV Charging. Please see the ‘Key Steps’ section below to assist with the ordering process.
- BP Plus cards that are enabled for EV charging will not have the ability to be co-branded.
- There are certain transaction restrictions that cannot be applied to BP Plus cards for EV charging transactions. These include ‘transaction volume limit', ‘transaction cost limit’ and ‘purchase time limit’.
- Please note the letter that accompanies your BP Plus card may not yet reflect the features and processes for EV charging. Whilst 'EV Charge' may be listed as an available product, the broader letter may only reflect the features and processes of non-EV charging use. In this scenario, the card you receive will still be enabled for EV charging and can be used as outlined in this support guide.
EV charging locations
Once you have received your BP Plus Card, your EV can be charged at any bp pulse EV charger. Charging stations can be found here. Please ensure you have selected the ‘bp pulse’ filter.
Each charger will have CCS plugs, and some will also have CHAdeMO plugs to accommodate your vehicle’s needs. By searching ‘bp pulse’ in Google Maps or Apple Maps, you will be able to identify which plugs are available at each bp pulse EV charger.
How to charge your EV at site
Charging your vehicle is quick and easy to do. There may be either a Tritium or Alpitronic charger at site. Please see below an example of what each type of charger looks like – the blue box indicates where to tap your BP Plus card. Please follow the respective user guide depending on the type of charger you see when charging. Please note that odometer readings will not need to be provided for BP Plus EV charging transactions.
