- Arcadis has delivered more than 7,000 EV charging stations
around the world
HOUSTON, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcadis, a leading global
design and consultancy organization for natural and built assets,
today announced the completion of bp's (NYSE: BP) latest high-speed
EV charging site at the company's North
America headquarters in Houston,
Texas. The new bp pulse station is the first bp pulse
branded Gigahub™ in the US for their EV charging business.
Arcadis delivered program and construction management for the
installation of 24 high-speed charge points at bp's Houston campus. Twelve Tritium 150kW DC
fast chargers were installed at the site, which are configured so
any electric vehicle will have the capability to charge at the new
EV charging facility. Parking canopies designed to support a Solar
PV system may be added in the future. The site is designed to
accommodate potential expansion with additional chargers as needed,
as well as restrooms, a lounge, and convenience store.
Brooke Bonkoski, President of
Resilience Environment US at Arcadis, said: "We are proud to
work with bp pulse on energy transition projects such as these that
accelerate a planet positive future. Arcadis, like bp, is committed
to moving the energy transition forward. Delivering this project in
the City of Houston, the energy
capital of the world, is particularly impactful."
The new EV charging facility will provide increased capacity for
electric vehicle charging across greater Houston, making EV ownership more convenient
and helping to reduce driver hesitation to make the switch from gas
and diesel vehicles to full electric vehicles. The new
charging Gigahub is a critical addition to the City of Houston that is seeing a rapidly
growing number of electric vehicles in the city.
Sujay Sharma, CEO, bp pulse
Americas, said: "The opening of our first bp pulse Gigahub is a
major step in bp pulse's plans to build out a national EV charging
network. EV drivers need access to reliable, fast, on-the-go
charging to enable an exceptional customer experience. Working with
leaders in the space, like Arcadis, is allowing us to deliver the
charging experience EV drivers need in Houston and beyond.
bp unveiled the new charging Gigahub during the CERAWeek by
S&P Global Conference. The facility is now open to the
public.
