“I am not happy with the customer service I have received, for some reason last month my account payment was taken nearly 2 weeks late, with no explanation of when it would be taken, then it was taken with out any updates & the payment had bounced, I contacted customer service when I had noticed to pay & was told every thing is fine & they would take the in 2-3 days & my account would be fine, & then the next day my account had been suspended. I have emailed & have received no response, I am not happy with the customer service I have received & this has cost me as now I am paying a much higher rate on payg. I.D : 172347”

“Very frustrating! Fast charging at Horwich Park Way Bolton. I was charging for 2 and 3 quarter hours and have gone from 12% to 58% on the fast charger. When I returned to the car my connector was flashing red and not charging but the machine & my phone was displaying that it was still charging. The only sign i saw was a 6hr maximum stay for Middlebrook didn't see anything for the length I was allowed to stay for charging (it's the same carpark!) but thought I'd check so I rang Middlebrook customer service for advice and the lady said there was no limit I just couldn't charge over night. I can see on my app that I have now been charged £13 for 46% of charge and £20 for overstaying. If the fast charger had worked properly I could have been fully charged in 40minutes. The lady I spoke to at Middlebrook is trying to resolve this matter for me BP pulse haven't as yet replied to my email. As a mobility customer I seek out BP for reasonable prices, not anymore should have charged on the motorway!”

“Tried 3 times to use BP rapid chargers with success only once! I am a mobility customer and am tied to BP for " Cheaper" charging.The response times for complaints are laughable ! The speech house charger is still out of action,so to more expensive chargers I am forced to go! I do hope motability stop dealing with this shower and sort out a reliable partner!”

Hello William, thank you for your review. I am very sorry to learn that your have have had some difficulties hen trying to charge on our public network. My research shows that you have charged at a 50kWh unit. I cannot however see any other attempted charge sessions. The post located seems to be in good working order with no current open reported fault tickets. In order for our team to investigate, please could you kindly advise which charge point was being used and what took place when trying to charge. We can then make sure to investigate, triage and if needed arranged for an engineer visit. We have recently developed a relationship with Zap-Map. Any charge post reported via Zap-Map will be fed back to our Network team. My colleagues will investigate and take action where needed. The team will also make sure to provide an update via Zap-Map This is especially helpful if you do not have the time to call our customer care team for support. Please feel free to reply to my email with the requested additional information in order to investigate. ^Eugene

“Used a BP pulse charging unit at my local car park which advertised for 50 kWh which cost me £5+ to charge it to 60%. Pod Point charges 22p pkWh and will charge your car fully in an hour. If you want to spend £5+ to get your car to 60% go for it. Worst charging point. Exceptional prices for subpar charging time and capabilities. It would of taken me another hour and forty minutes to fully charge my car which would of charged me £10…”

“Terrible after sales service and unit has been quite poor. Software programmed by a 5 year old with various bug and issues. I have a unit that has not charged for over a month with little support from the inappropriately named heretohelp team. They are definitely not here or there and they could help me blow my nose”

“Tobias gave excellent customer service. He was friendly and efficient. I called as I had left my BP pulse card at home and was unable to charge my vehicle at a local supermarket without it. Always a brilliant service. The best company by far for professional service and they always do their best to be as fast as possible. I’ve only ever once been unable to get through but generally a pick up within 1-5 minutes.Thats not too long at all to speak to someone to send a command to the charging unit to start.”

“Not smart- this is the dumbest home EV charger in the world! My first device refused to work- it refused to connect, it charged at peak rates it ignored the cheap rates. After a lot of effort, customer support came a fitted a manual timer into the consumer unit to cut the electricity to this stupid charge when I didn't want it to charge. What an admission- the product was so poor that they literally knew that it would never work. My neighbour has exactly the same problem too! After almost 2 years they replaced my unit with a 'new' WiFi connected device... This was slightly better, in that it would work for several days at a time. However, randomly you will come to the car in the morning to find it hadn't charged at all. Other times, I look at my in-home smart meter display and wonder "what is using all that peak-time energy"... and guess what?.... it had just randomly decided to charge the car. The unit failed to update itself when the clocks changed in autumn and started the charging an hour early- while still in the peak rate. I got fed up and ran an ethernet cable into it to avoid their claimed WiFi issues (several outdoor Ring cameras work at full HD on that WiFi no problem- and they are further away). This did NOT solve the problem! The GUI still fails to connect, half the time, and the unit fails to work reliably. Basically this company has ZERO idea how to write software and deploy a cloud service. Their support is a joke- they always sound helpful and hopeful, yet they must spend all day, every day, having the same hopeless conversation with disappointed customers. They must go home depressed every night. Do yourself a favour and just go and buy a Zappi or an Ohme... forget this company it is a joke.”

Hello and thank you for your review. I am very sorry to learn of your customer journey and the difficulty experienced with our home charge unit. We have taken a look at your charge point and I am able to confirm the following: *** The unit has the most up-to-date firmware (RC06) installed. *** I can confirm that you have a schedule in place which is set from Monday to Sunday - Please note the units will have an enforced randomised delay when first starting the charge session (more about this in my email). ***We have checked the time zone and I can confirm that this is indeed correct. The system should automatically update to account for changes in daylight savings. ***We have remotely rebooted your system to ensure any possible faults are cleared. From reading your review, I can tell that you are very disappointed in the product and service. I would be happy to call you and discuss your review in more detail to ensure we cover every aspect of your review. If this is something you would like to take place, feel free to reply to my recent email sent. ^Eugene

“My Chargemaster unit overheated on 26th Sept and I was told to turn it off. A technician eventually came on 17th Oct and was here for 6 hrs. He fitted a BP Pulse unit which is totally different technology which I didn't want and I wasn't given any guidance. Since then the new unit has failed to operate other than the odd day and it's now out of action, they are blaming the internet. As for the comments re getting a quick answer, that's a joke ! It takes at least 20 mins to get the phone answered if at all and you frequently get cut off. They have set up a triage system so you can never speak the the technical team, all they do is rely on emails and avoid answering your questions. The staff are always pleasant when you do get to speak to someone but I never get a resolution. I have asked to escalate as a complaint, but that hasn't happened either, a dreadful company to deal with. I am now looking to take to their regulators/trading standards”

Hello Carol, thank you for your review. I am sorry to learn that your home charge unit failed to continue to work back in September. I am sorry to learn that the old unit failed, thankfully this was withing your warranty period and I was glad to see our team take action and replace the unit with a new WIFI enable charging unit. With recent regulation changes, home charging unit require to be WIFI enabled and not rely on the GSM network (mobile network 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G). This ensure that your unit does not run the risk of being out of communication which impacts the ability to set schedules and other various online connection instructions. I assure you that with the new unit clear instructions and information is provided to aid you after the installation takes place. Our customer care team are tasked to answer call as quickly as we can, we do often experience a high volume of calls from time to time and do our very best to address call volumes as and when they occur. Our technical team are not available to speak directly to customers and we do not offer the ability to transfer calls to this particular team. However, our technical team do often call customers to help triage and resolve technical issues from time to time. As with any other business, your product at the time of purchase will offer a standard warranty, in this case 3 years. If a product is replaced we do not offer an extended warranty which is standard practice. I would like to point out that the new unit is robust, current and offers a better form of connection (WIFI) not to mention it is at no addition cost to you. I understand that you are frustrated and can see that we have kept in touch every step of the way. I want to assure you that our team are looking into your case and we should have an update for you very soon regarding a technical matter. ^Eugene

“Hi have been waiting to have my home charger fixed for nearly four weeks now, keep sending emails ect and phoning them, eventually after all there procedures got a booking for Engineer to call , stayed in all day waiting and waiting not tuned up,Then phoned them after getting through they said I didn't confirm the booking another spinner in the works then, I sent them comfirmation of date and time confirming the booking , I asked them, This time when arranging another appointment RING ME and confirm a date and time And pass all this information and emails and calls made nearly over 4 weeks now to there manager , At this time still had no phone calls back yet, This ordeal as been very very stressful for us as I explained over and over in the emails I sent I need the car for appointments ect as she is in a wheelchair. I am now thinking off changing the car I don't think I will ever go back to electric car after having such a bad experience with this company”

“My charger effectively stopped working properly when an upgrade to the system was made in March and now the charger is searching the network before charging, well in theory . I made a call to the helpline today and was sent information about how to connect the system to my wifi, which I have never needed to do before. The instructions are incomprehensible to me. I just want someone to come out and sort it out. I am thinking of going to BP office to complain.”

“I have been without a charger now for 3 weeks and still not getting anywhere. You have to wait for over a week for them to reply to emails and when you call the fob you off”

“The worst ever company in UK to deal with, utterly gutted with their absolute no response customer service. It’s been 6 weeks we are without a working home charger. No one answers the phones or no reply to the emails. I’m making trips to public Charing points as no resolution in sight. What’s the point in having the warranty for 3 years if someone doesn’t even look into your issue for 6 weeks. It’s an absolute joke that this company is still surviving. Where to complain who to complain. Money lost down the drain. Hope this review helps someone, you will de 100 percent disappointed if you chose BP Pulse. One point to note if you chose the new installation option they’ll be super quick to take your call. If you opt for existing customer then please set aside minimum 2 hours of wait without any answer on the other end. And when someone answers the call l, they won’t give their name and the they say it’s the company policy.”

“Absolutely useless. Unable to enter reg no. Admittedly Internet was poor, but so very far from user friendly. I would give minus stars if I could.”

Hello and thank you for your review. I was very sorry to learn that your charge session would not take place due to the poor mobile signal in your area. As discussed, I will report the issues to our network team relating to the mobile signal when using our charge points as I could not see any faults or any known connection error reports at this time. If you ever require assistance, please do feel free to call our customer care who are available 24/7. We have recently developed a relationship with Zap-Map. Any charge post reported via Zap-Map will be fed back to our Network team. My colleagues will investigate and take action where needed. The team will also make sure to provide an update via Zap-Map. I would strongly recommend using this process if you do not have the time to make contact with our customer care team. We look forward to keeping you energized. ^Eugene

“Welcome to the world of a fossil fuel producer with a very thin green washing veneer doing a shizen job at EV charging. Best use charging companies such as Instavolt, Osprey etc that have no fossil fuel baggage.”

“This is the 5 time my charging unit is not working, I have done multiple times about what you've told me to do by by switching it off and on , but the unit is still not working, unit was bought by at the mobility scheme I am disabled also a suffer with me which is chronic fatigue syndrome, as I charge my car at night time to get the best value of it it took me three hours to figure out what is going on then I had to go out at 11 o'clock p.m. to charge my car up to make sure it's not the car and that is not because it was working, also the lady who spoke to us last time was very rude and told us next call out that we have to be charged I think the service is absolutely disgrace expecting me to go out and charge my car somewhere else and stand there for many hours while it charges, I will give this company no stars and I would refer everybody else not to go with them because I find them absolutely rude ,”

I asked for a receipt 2 weeks ago still no response and no one can tell me when I can get that receipt and because of your delay I have to pay them parking fine Case Number: 25451421”

Hello Customer. Thank you for your review. I was sorry to learn of the delay in providing the requested receipt. We have not provided a response to your case 25451421 and attached a receipt as requested. Your case has been passed to senior management to review why it was that your receipt was not produced when you first requested it. ^Customer Care Team.

“As with many on here, the service and product are woeful. They install are charger at over £800 with a 2G sim, which a year later is useless, so you can't use the app and I need to take charge reading to recharge the cost for expenses. The help desk should just be called " The Sorry we can't do anything" they even suggested I get an electrician to came and install a new sim myself. I've called numerous times and I'm still waiting for a response, you are told they will email you then escalation reference, but you never get them. A total rip off and scam.”
