BP's electric vehicle (EV) charging brand, BP pulse, and Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng Inc recently launched their first jointly operated charging station in Guangzhou, marking the initial step in their strategic partnership announced in January.

The Guangzhou station boasts an industry-leading configuration with 30 charging piles and 50 charging guns, including 480kW ultra-fast charging capabilities.

Following the Guangzhou launch, BP pulse and XPeng will roll out three more co-branded charging stations in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in the near term.

Leveraging their joint site selection model, the partners will prioritize building high-standard stations in core urban areas based on EV user density, aiming to strengthen the charging infrastructure layout and provide drivers with enhanced charging services.

This expansion signifies the deepening of bp pulse's and XPeng's collaboration into key urban centers.

BP pulse and XPeng officially signed a memorandum of understanding on January 14, 2025. The partnership aims to mutually open their charging networks, allowing customers of both entities access to a widespread network of over 30,000 charging guns across 420 cities in China. The collaboration seeks to build a high-quality charging network in core Chinese metropolitan areas.
