bp pulse has opened a new rapid and ultra-rapid charging hub to serve customers and visitors of the M&S store in Cheshunt.
Eight charge points with a total of 18 connectors are able to charge up to 10 EVs simultaneously. Two of the devices offer both CCS and CHAdeMO charging connectors, and a charging rate of up to 150kW.
The remaining six charge points offer charging of up to 50kW, which is ideal for those looking to top up on range while they shop.
“The opening of our EV charging hub at the M&S store in Cheshunt is a huge milestone; the first of a strategic rollout programme,” said Akira Kirton, CEO at bp pulse UK.
“This is a fantastic option for M&S shoppers, enabling them to top up their EV battery while they enjoy shopping in a brilliant retail destination.
“Convenience is a hugely important part of our aim to develop the UK’s best on-the-go charging network, and this is a compelling example of how we’re offering fast and reliable EV charging where it is convenient for our customers.”
The rollout of EV charging hubs across the M&S estate is part of bp pulse’s strategy to significantly expand its charging network and support the growth of the UK’s EV infrastructure.

“Investing in our stores to make them bigger, better, brighter destinations for the broadest range of customers, including more family shoppers, is a key part of our strategy to Reshape M&S for Growth,” said Sacha Berendji, Director of Operations at M&S.
“EV charging will become an increasingly important part of the store offer. The new Cheshunt hub includes ultra-fast bp pulse charge points, making it quick and convenient for customers to charge while they shop. It's also an important part of our Plan A roadmap to Net Zero by 2040."
bp pulse and Zapmap share a live data partnership, which enables users of the Zapmap app and web map to access the live status and availability of all bp pulse charge points at any time, making planning for charging stops even easier.
