bp pulse fleet exit shows why charging infrastructure needs an exit strategy

Almost 1000 former bp pulse fleet customers are being migrated to Fuuse and Drax Electric Vehicles, covering more than 14,000 charging sockets.

Fuuse has been appointed bp pulse’s exclusive supported migration partner for UK fleet customers, while Drax will provide nationwide servicing and maintenance support. Fuuse says compatible existing hardware can remain in place and that its platform can also manage OCPP-compliant chargers from other manufacturers.

For fleet managers, the important point is not simply the change of supplier. It is what happens when a charging provider changes direction after a business has already invested heavily in infrastructure.

That highlights an increasingly important procurement principle: charging infrastructure should be designed with an exit route.

Before committing to a new supplier, fleets should understand who owns the hardware, whether another platform can take over the chargers, how warranties work and whether the system depends on proprietary software.

EV infrastructure is a long-term asset. Supplier flexibility should therefore be treated as part of the original business case, not something considered only when circumstances change.
