Chargemaster Limited (branded as bp pulse, formerly BP Chargemaster, chargemaster, POLAR and Polar Plus) is a supplier of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, based in Milton Keynes, England. It provides charging units for home, business and public use, and operates its own electric vehicle fast charging network.
Chargemaster was the first company to manufacture electric vehicle rapid chargers in the UK. As of 2017, the company had supplied more than 30,000 charging points for electric vehicle drivers' homes and more than 10,000 public and commercially operated charging points.
The company was founded in 2008 by entrepreneur David Martell. In June 2018, BP announced that it had entered into an agreement to buy Chargemaster for £130m, with the company to be rebranded BP Chargemaster. Further rebranding to 'bp pulse' took place in December 2020.
