Hubber secures funding to deliver high-powered charging hubs, powering electrification for commercial fleets.
Hubber, a high-powered EV charging platform founded by three former Tesla UK employees, has secured £60 million in equity funding to tackle one of the UK’s most pressing infrastructure challenges: the shortage of fast, reliable urban EV charging solutions.
The company’s first site is set to open in Lewisham on August 20, and Hubber aims to deliver 30 high-powered charging hubs across major UK cities to provide 100MW of grid capacity.
The leadership team — Harry Fox, Connor Selwood, and Hugh Leckie — brings considerable EV infrastructure expertise, having previously overseen the deployment of:
The team’s experience in securing strategic sites, structuring commercial agreements, unlocking megawatt-scale grid capacity, and delivering infrastructure in complex environments has shaped Hubber’s delivery model. The company claims it is built for:
“Speed, precision, and reliability in the most challenging urban contexts.”
Hubber’s modular, planning-approved hubs are designed to address the “urban charging problem”, a major bottleneck in the electrification of commercial fleets such as:
Recent research from Uber underscores the challenge, showing that charging access has now overtaken vehicle cost as the top concern for drivers.
With only 27% of UK drivers having access to home charging, demand for fast, on-shift charging solutions is rapidly increasing.
The £60 million investment will power Hubber’s:
This model promises faster, more reliable deployment of high-powered hubs. The first hub in Lewisham, developed in partnership with RAW Charging, is set to become the blueprint for future sites.
The £60 million capital commitment is led by:
The funding will enable the delivery of the first 30 charging hubs.
In addition, Hubber’s leadership team is supported by a network of senior advisors from:
This strategic depth positions Hubber to lead the next wave of urban electrification at scale.
“The fleets doing the most miles — taxis, ride-hail, delivery vans, buses — are electrifying fast, yet city infrastructure is lagging,”
said Harry Fox, CEO of Hubber.
“Large, high-powered hubs are the key to enabling continuous, efficient, and scalable operations, but persistent delays leave a critical shortfall just as demand is surging.”
