Overview

  • The Forest Hill hub opens on August 20 with 12 bays – three 150 kW and three 300 kW dual-head chargers – and offers a week of free fast charging under RAW charging’s operation.
  • Harry Fox, Connor Selwood and Hugh Leckie founded Hubber after exiting Tesla’s Supercharger team where they managed 100 sites and 1,200 chargers in the UK and Ireland.
  • Hubber targets taxis and last-mile delivery vehicles that require high-frequency charging and often cannot access residential EV chargers in urban areas.
  • Site-selection strategy focuses on repurposing disused warehouses and gas stations into high-throughput hubs that emphasize speed and affordability over retail amenities.
  • With £60 million raised, the company is expanding across the UK and developing infrastructure to serve future autonomous ride-hail fleets with attendant-assisted charging.
