Hubber

What Hubber does

Hubber is a UK-based EV infrastructure specialist founded in 2024 by former Tesla UK executives Harry Fox, Connor Selwood, and Hugh Leckie. The company acquires and regenerates underutilised urban land — including derelict car parks, brownfield, and industrial sites — and develops them into modular, freehold, high-powered EV charging hubs typically 0.1–2 acres in size, located in major UK cities and urban centres. Each hub integrates public ultra-rapid DC charging (up to 400kW per charger), commercial fleet charging, smart convenience lounges, micro-mobility charging, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), with the BESS and high-voltage system design serving as the technical foundation that enables high-power delivery in grid-constrained urban settings. Reported throughput includes 10% to 80% charge in approximately 15 minutes for compatible EVs.

Hubber's business model is B2B infrastructure provision rather than direct consumer charging. The company develops and retains ownership of the physical hub sites and partners with charge-point operators — including IONITY and RAW Charging — who operate the chargers, while Hubber earns site readiness fees, long-term lease income, and infrastructure provision revenue. The model is further de-risked by utilisation guarantee agreements with fleet and platform partners such as Uber, which provide volume commitments tied to autonomous vehicle (robotaxi) operations. As of early 2026, named operational or announced sites include Birmingham (with IONITY, 12 chargers at up to 400kW), Forest Hill in south London (with RAW Charging), and a planned Lewisham site, with a stated pipeline of 30 hubs and 100 MW of total capacity across the UK. The company is headquartered in London, is privately held, and has raised £60M in equity funding as of August 2025 from undisclosed investors.

Revenue model

1. Charging Infrastructure Development and Property: Hubber acquires urban land, develops it into high-powered charging hubs, and monetises through long-term lease/partnership agreements with charge-point operators (CPOs). Revenue is derived from property development, site readiness fees, and ongoing operator arrangements. The company also participates in utilisation guarantee agreements with fleet partners such as Uber.
2. Operator Partnership Revenue: Hubber provides sites to CPO partners (IONITY, RAW Charging) under partnership structures, generating recurring income from site access and infrastructure provision. Sites support multiple use cases including public ultra-rapid charging, commercial fleet charging, and eHGV charging.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and flagship.

• UbercoreGTM or Marketing Partner · 18 February 2026Hubber entered into a utilisation guarantee agreement with Uber as part of Uber's $100M+ autonomous vehicle charging infrastructure investment. Uber committed to developing DC fast-charging hubs at autonomous depots and urban sites, with Hubber serving as a charging network partner to support Uber's robotaxi operations in priority cities including London. The partnership is expected to unlock hundreds of new chargers across key markets globally, with Uber providing volume commitments to de-risk Hubber's site investments.
• IONITYflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 4 February 2026Hubber developed IONITY's most urban UK charging site to date in Birmingham's Aston district, featuring 12 ultra-rapid chargers delivering up to 400kW on 100% renewable energy. Hubber acquired and redeveloped a derelict car park into the charging hub within approximately four months. The site marks IONITY's strategic shift from motorway-based locations into denser urban environments and represents a flagship co-development partnership.
• RAW ChargingcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 18 August 2025RAW Charging partnered with Hubber to open a flagship EV charging site in Forest Hill, south London. Hubber provided the developed site and land, while RAW Charging operates the chargers — demonstrating Hubber's model of providing ready-to-deploy urban charging infrastructure to CPO partners.

Direct peers

• Char.gy: UK-based EV charging infrastructure operator focused on public and destination charging, including rapid chargers in urban and residential areas. Direct competitor for urban UK charging sites and CPO partnerships.
• InstaVolt: UK's largest independent ultra-rapid EV charging network, deploying high-power DC chargers across motorways and increasingly urban sites. Directly comparable to Hubber's ultra-rapid charging focus and CPO-style operating model.
• GRIDSERVE: UK EV charging and energy company building Electric Forecourts combining high-power chargers with solar canopies and battery storage. Closest peer to Hubber's BESS-integrated, multi-amenity hub model.
• Osprey Charging: UK-wide rapid EV charging network operating high-power DC hubs across cities and motorways. Comparable to Hubber in customer base (fleet + public) and ultra-rapid charger deployments.
• RAW Charging: UK CPO partner of Hubber that operates chargers on Hubber-developed sites. Comparable in operating model (urban focus, CPO layer) and a near-overlap in target customer segment.
• IONITY: European high-power charging network (BMW, Mercedes, Ford, VW, Hyundai JV) currently extending from motorway hubs into urban sites via partnerships like the Hubber Birmingham Aston deployment. Direct peer in the high-power urban charging category.
• Fastned: European ultra-rapid EV charging network with owned-and-operated stations across the UK and continental Europe. Comparable in asset ownership, high-power DC focus, and urban expansion strategy.
• Be.EV: UK-based EV charging operator backed by Statkraft, focused on rapid public charging in urban areas and partnership-driven site development. Comparable in target market (urban UK EV drivers), business model (CPO operating on partner-developed sites), and scale stage.

Broad incumbents

• BP pulse: UK arm of BP's EV charging business operating public and fleet charging infrastructure at scale, including ultra-rapid hubs. Comparable end-customer offering but embedded in a broader energy major with deeper balance sheet.
• Shell Recharge: Shell's public and destination EV charging network in the UK, including rapid hubs at forecourts. Overlaps with Hubber's urban charging value proposition but operates as one product line within a global energy major.
