BP Connect Taihape is a petrol station at 80 to 88 Hautapu Street in Taihape, on the main road through the town. Shoppers mention the friendly staff most often, and hot chocolate comes up often too. The early opening hours are mentioned as a plus. The site has an EV charger, which one driver finds convenient, though it has limited capacity: with two cars plugged in, the charge rate slows a lot and the wait can be long.
Views are mixed. Two staff members on a late evening visit were praised for helping a customer with hot water for their noodle cups. Another regular traveller said the service was usually good, but that on one visit the wait was long because staff were talking among themselves rather than serving.
