to meet the company’s sustainability goals
The world is evolving at a striking pace, and we must keep up with the changes. These sustainable practices and technologies will provide a more resilient planet for future generations. While bp Pulse’s expansion plans are impressive, rolling out a nationwide electric vehicle charging (EVC) charging network is not complete without its hurdles.
One major challenge is navigating the complexities of securing sufficient power supply, often involving lengthy negotiations with various power companies. To achieve this target, bp Pulse needed the support of highly capable and experienced suppliers that will help deliver a successful EVC rollout across Australia.
The transition from traditional fuel stations to a combined fuel and robust EV charging network is a strategic move to adapt to a changing market and secure future growth. bp Pulse recognises the undeniable uptake of electric vehicles driven by customer needs, environmental concerns, government incentives and advancements in EV technology. As the EVC industry grows, it presents immense opportunities within the EVC infrastructure.
Arcadis' national service offering and presence combined with their specific distribution network service providers (DNSPs) experience and involvement in local EVC programs, provided bp Pulse with the confidence to identify network owners, deliver the project and de-risk their EVC rollout program.
The world's transition to a more secure, affordable and lower-carbon energy system requires significant investment in renewable energy sources. For bp Pulse, this transition amplifies its aim to expand its electric vehicle charging (EVC) network throughout Australia and New Zealand.
This project has provided Arcadis with a unique opportunity to conduct research, develop better design methodologies, share our learnings and enhance our global EVC experience in planning, design and delivery globally further. The project outcome will offer Australia a continuous improvement of its network infrastructure.
