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:
Their 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. It is, as they claim, 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 critical bottleneck in the electrification of commercial fleets such as:
Recent research from Uber underscores the issue, revealing that charging access has overtaken vehicle cost as the top concern for drivers.
With only 27% of UK drivers having access to home charging, the demand for fast, on-shift charging solutions is surging.
Hubber’s £60 million investment will fuel the company’s:
These are designed to speed up the 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 £60m capital commitment is led by:
The funding will enable the delivery of the initial 30 hubs.
In addition, Hubber’s leadership team is supported by a network of senior advisors across:
This strategic depth positions Hubber to deliver 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.”
