Drax Electric Vehicles and charging software provider Fuuse have secured an agreement to migrate nearly 1,000 workplace charging clients from BP Pulse. The move covers more than 14,000 charging sockets across the country, making it one of the largest electric vehicle fleet infrastructure migrations completed to date. The partnership ensures that businesses can continue using their existing charging equipment without facing expensive removal and replacement work.
The transition comes after BP Pulse announced its departure from the depot charging market to concentrate entirely on its public rapid charging network. Under the new arrangement, Fuuse will provide the central software management platform, while Drax delivers nationwide on site maintenance and honours existing hardware warranties. Affected fleet managers can register through an online migration portal to transfer their charging sites smoothly and keep their vehicles moving without disruption.
The EV Café Panel Take:
John Curtis: Described the intervention as mission critical for the industry. Allowing 14,000 operational charging connectors to fall into disrepair or go dark would have been unthinkable for UK enterprise fleets.
Sara Sloman: Celebrated the collaboration between Drax and Fuuse, having seen both teams actively discussing industry solutions at Fleet and Mobility Live. Sara stressed that keeping existing hardware alive through robust software and reconcilable billing stops sceptics from labelling older chargers as unreliable legacy equipment.
Sam Clarke: Congratulated Fuuse and Drax for stepping up to take what many regarded as a difficult commercial hospital pass from BP. Sam pointed out that resolving orphaned depot infrastructure requires serious technical courage and massive field service commitment, crediting the partnership for protecting customer capital investments.
