London-based Hubber, an electric vehicle charging platform founded by former Tesla UK employees Harry Fox, Connor Selwood, and Hugh Leckie, has reportedly raised £60M (nearly €69.66M) in equity funding.
The investors include James Bayliss, former Head Trader at Elliott Advisors (UK), who led the round, and Christopher Fox, former CFO of the British Business Bank, who also served as a lead investor.
James Bayliss mentions, “Urban EV charging remains one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure challenges. This uniquely skilled team now has the capital to address it, and we expect their work to make a significant and lasting impact on the country’s electrification.”
Capital utilisation
Hubber will use the funds to deploy 30 high-powered charging hubs across major UK cities, delivering a total of 100 MW of grid capacity, according to EV Infrastructure News.
The company’s first site, opening on August 20 in Lewisham in partnership with RAW Charging, will serve as a model for future hubs.
The capital will also support Hubber’s proprietary site-selection model and turnkey delivery approach, which the company says will enable faster and more reliable deployment of high-powered charging infrastructure across the UK.
Targeting the urban fast-charging shortage
Hubber is a UK-based company specialising in high-powered EV charging, addressing the shortage of fast and reliable charging in major cities.
Founded in 2024 by key members of Tesla’s UK Supercharger network, the company acquires and develops prime urban sites into modular, planning-approved hubs for commercial fleets, including taxis, ride-hailing services, and delivery vans.
The company employs a proprietary site-selection model and turnkey delivery approach to accelerate the rollout of its charging infrastructure.
The leadership team, including CEO Harry Fox, has previously overseen more than 100 Tesla Supercharger sites and 1,200 ultra-rapid chargers across the UK.
Hubber is supported by senior advisors from real estate, infrastructure investment, energy markets, and large-scale construction, providing strategic guidance for scaling urban electrification.
Harry Fox, CEO of Hubber, says, “The fleets doing the most miles—taxis, ride-hail, delivery vans, buses—are electrifying fast, yet city infrastructure is lagging. 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.”
