The contract is a major step in the company’s strategy to simplify electrification for public EV fleets and accelerate the deployment of EV charging infrastructure across the nation.
As an Awarded Contractor, BP Pulse will now be able to directly offer its Omega charge management software and EVSE procurement services to public agencies that are PCA members. These agencies include local, state, and federal governments; K-12 schools and higher education institutions; hospitals; law enforcement; and nonprofits. PCA members can purchase EV services directly from BP Pulse without going through their own time-consuming public bidding processes, saving time and resources.
With BP Pulse's Omega software, EV fleets can manage energy costs and optimise performance through real-time monitoring of EV charging operations. Omega can adjust charging operations to serve a fleet owner's individual needs, whether that's prioritising charging for lower costs or to ensure vehicle uptime. The software is vehicle and charger agnostic, making it easier to manage a fleet of various vehicle types, which is often the case with public fleets.
"PCA is honoured to have BP Pulse as a valued Awarded Contractor with a national contract already in place," said Elaine Nichols, director of Purchasing Cooperative of America. "All PCA Members, current and future, can utilise the services of BP Pulse immediately because PCA has completed the Request For Proposal (RFP) process on their behalf.”
