Polar Network Closure

News2 min read

At bp pulse, we’re focused on becoming a simpler, more customer-focused business and a leader in the UK’s ultra-fast and rapid charging market. To achieve this, we’re prioritising on-the-go charging hubs and expanding EV charging at bp forecourts.

As part of this strategy, we’ve made the difficult decision to retire our original destination-based network, Polar. We’re contacting host partners as contracts near renewal to arrange safe decommisioning of bp pulse assets.

To ensure continued EV charging solutions, we’ve partnered with Roam—one of the UK’s leading destination-based providers—for a smooth transition and ongoing support.

What partnering with Roam means for you:

Easy transition – we can help transfer some of our equipment to Roam, and in cases where we currently supply their electricity, Roam can adopt that supply.
Attractive commercial options – Roam offers revenue-sharing opportunities and fully funded models with zero CapEx or OpEx for hosts.
Minimal disruption – Roam’s simple, tech-forward approach ensures a smooth transition with minimal downtime.

We’re proud of the journey we’ve shared with you through Polar, and we’re committed to making your next step in EV charging as smooth as possible, whether that’s through a new partnership with Roam or a full decommissioning.
