“BP charger came as part of the purchase of my new Renault. Initially they couldn't be contacted by the dealership and once the process began it was so inefficient. It has taken almost 5 months since purchasing my car to get the charger installed. Now I am trying to get the App activated, 2 weeks from install and still not active. My personal impression from the start is that BP have tried not to install the charger, asking the same questions via email, looking for problems throughout. One part that did go well was on installation day. The engineer, a sub-sub contractor came, found issues, founds solutions and got the charger up and running. Couldn't fault his attitude or workmanship. When I need another charger I will be avoiding BP if I have a choice. I have also experienced issues with their public network over the last 2 years while running a hybrid. The chargers are down more than they are operational. Poor show for such a big company.”

“Incredibly poor (ongoing) service. Long wait for installation date. Unit only partially installed on installation date and no date given for completion. Left with an open trench outside house and a car waiting to be charged. Numerous emails left unanswered, a phone team that can't talk to the installation team and numerous promises ... they will call you back ... but they never do. Shame you can't give 0 stars.”

“The engineer turned up on time and was very pleasant. He explained everything to us,and listened to our opinion. He was very tidy and cleaned up any mess. Our Chargemaster is fitted discreetly.”

“Genuinely awful customer service. Three months and over a hundred emails in I cancelled my contract and went with someone else. They are by far the worst customer service company in the world”

“Simply AWFUL - DO NOT sign up with BP Pulse, other chargers are available. I really regret going with them. Their customer service is appalling (apart from one guy, Florentin, who I feel sorry for, as he's constantly getting my queries when his colleagues fail to respond). Others have slated the installation process - that's a major challenge in itself ... they also conveniently 'forget' to mention that you can pay £75 (which is then deducted from the £499 installation fee if you choose to proceed) for one of their sub-contract installers to come out and do a pre-installation survey - why wouldn't you do this? It's a no-brainer and then avoids any potential issues on the installation day. I only found out after complaining about all of the endless technical questions they were asking me (I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN!) I decided yesterday evening to try out the scheduling on the Smartcharge App (as I’d like to be able to set the car to charge between 12:30 and 04:30 (when we have off-peak electricity charges of 5p kwH). There is next to no information on how to do this (and the App gets a slating on all of the online reviews about not working / not having been updated / not being user friendly) so I wasn’t entirely confident at the outset … Issues: • The app keeps telling me that the car isn’t plugged in when it is; • It tells me it is charging when it isn’t; • It tells me it is plugged in when it isn’t; • I did a test schedule charge and immediately when I plugged the car in it started to charge (ignoring the scheduled time, which was later); • I rang the helpline and spoke to 'Connor' (who on the face of it seemed like he wanted to help) – he told me to switch off the unit for 15 minutes; switch it back on and then leave for 5 minutes and then set a new scheduled time - he told me that if this didn’t work, that I was to email him and he would send me his contact details – which he did (‘interesting non-existent phone number’ of 01234 567890 in his email signature) – and because he was working until 930pm last night (and not the weekend) he would be there to try and resolve the issue. He would assign a reference number to my case … I’m still waiting for him to call back … • After switching off and switching the unit back on (as instructed by Connor), I created a new test schedule of 1730 to 1830. I plugged the car in at 1725 – it immediately started charging(!) and then after a minute or 2 stopped and completely ignored the scheduled charge supposedly starting at 1730 … • I tried to phone Connor twice (on the correct number that appears on the website) – pressing the correct option numbers it then simply cut off twice, so I gave up; • I did another scheduled charge for 1230 to 0430 – the car didn’t charge (I get a notification on my phone from my Mercedes Me App when charging starts / ends); • Given that I was awake at 3am, I went out to the garage and put the car on charge manually. It started charging at 3am and finished at 508am - looking at the ‘History’ in the App it claims that the car was charging from 1827 for c. 14 hours(!) – the history section is completely wrong and random; • The App claimed that at 825 this morning that the car was charging at full speed. It wasn’t – as my Mercedes Me App clearly indicates … • HOW are you supposed to get the App and wall box to work together? As soon as you plug the car in (regardless of any scheduling in the App) it starts to charge – the only way to stop it charging is to lock / unlock the car or press the ‘end charge’ button by the charging flap on the car. It then seems ignore the scheduling set for later on … How can it be so difficult? I really cannot believe that Mercedes-Benz recommend this company. They are a complete joke! BP (a supposedly world renowned company) should know better. AVOID!!”

“Was taken through the whole process by one dedicated account manager (Sabbir Mohammed). Was great to have one contact to take me through step by step. Engineer was out within 2 working days of my application completion and then installation went smoothly with minimal mess. Can't yet comment on the SmartCharge app as I'm awaiting my log in credentials.”

“The app of crAPP as they should call it still doesn’t work properly. Scheduler doesn’t work which means the cheap overnight tariff I have is pointless. An engineer called me but said it’s a software problem with the app and they are aware... no attempt to resolve and this isn’t a new problem so how can they continue to sell this rubbish with known issues??? I contacted the office for zero emissions who seem to care as much as BP as after 2 emails I’ve had to response. How they expect everyone to go electric with this nonsense is beyond me!”

“The worst company i ever dealt with, they need to get their act together, i given them about 50 pictures of my fuse box etc and all the relevant details requested, but still they haven't done anything or even replied after numorous calls and speaking to customers service, and this after buying a new mercedes, i have to charge it with a cable through my front room window”

“It has taken 3 months to get a date for the installation, I had sent through all of the required photos and information and had chased repeatedly. Eventually Mohammed contacted me (after I had gone back to the dealer to ask for a complaint escalation). I re-sent exactly the same photos and he was able to arrange everything within 48 hours! He left it that the Bookings team would be in contact with me within days, I contacted him 10 days later as I hadn't heard anything, he confirmed that they had booked to do the work tomorrow and so I have had to take emergency leave to be at home when they arrive. Mohammed has been excellent but overall a very poor service,”

“Terrible procedures in place. First of all no progress on my order until I started phoning and chasing. When I did get to speak to someone about the install, in fairness they were excellent and moved things along. This did however take a number of calls at each stage of the process. Painful but got there in the end. The fitting of charger box by third party company was initially a disaster as they scheduled in the fitting for a Friday morning and then never showed up on the day. I phoned a couple of hours after they were due to arrive and they said there had been an admin mix up and in fairness they suggested to come out on the Sunday to install. I have to say this was an good resolution and then the electrician did an excellent installation. After the installation I was given a pack of information about how to use the wall box including some basic and inadequate instructions on the Smartcharge app. There were no details on how to register, and the app didn't have a register option either. I spent hours trying to resolve this and made several calls to BP, resetting my BP passwords, reinstalling the app etc. To no avail. their customer service was useless as they didn't have any idea how to help and merely said they would pass on my case to someone else. I still have not heard anything back. However, 3 days after the install I receive a welcome email, which enables me to login and access the app. Everything now works but why on earth could they not tell me that I needed to wait for an email and I would have saved myself hours of chasing and frustration. Think very hard before using BP! This is an amateur operation from what should be a top tier company.”

“I ordered a home charging point for the new hybrid Range Rover sport in December 2020. I filled in all the forms and added photos and added an electric isolator switch in January 2021.I paid for the service and bpchargemaster claimed the government grant on my behalf.I’ve heard nothing since despite emailing and calling them and now I’m having to take legal advice on how to go forward as they have my money and grant and are ignoring me.I’m also in the process of raising a complaint against Landrover for recommending bpchargemaster to me. Over 3 months and still waiting!!! I wish I had read the reviews before ordering as exact same problems as other people”

“Like everyone else has recently commented the service is awful. I mean this has to be the worst customer service and purchase process I have ever had. You would not believe they are getting paid. Expected to do a full electrical technician survey myself, answer detailed technical questions with no qualifications and never actually get any response. So far, 4 phone calls, 7 emails, 20 odd photos and still no install date. If you went on a training course in how to destroy a customer journey - this would be it. To top it all I was given a fake complaints email address. Like everyone else has said. Avoid this company at all costs unless you really like a challenge.”
