RAW Charging works with Hubber

Partnership launches ultra-rapid site in SE London

RAW Charging has launched a new EV charging site in Forest Hill, South London, delivering 12 ultra-rapid charging bays alongside a hospitality experience provided by burger chain MEATliquor.

The site has been launched in partnership with Hubber, a specialist real estate and infrastructure platform transforming underutilised urban sites into high-powered hubs.

Chargers include three 150kW and three 300kW ultra rapid units serving 12 vehicles at any one time, including one priority bay, catering to rapid turnaround and high-volume usage.

Located on Dartmouth Road, just 200 metres from Forest Hill Station, the new hub sits at the heart of one of Southeast London’s busiest commuter corridors. 

The site was acquired and developed by Hubber, a specialist real estate and infrastructure platform founded by an ex-Tesla team. Hubber focuses on transforming underutilised urban property into next generation high-powered hubs, helping to remove deployment barriers for chargepoint operators and commercial fleets.

With 26% of Londoners commuting by car, the site provides critical infrastructure for EV drivers heading into central London.
RAW’s rapid chargers will help reduce range anxiety and promote sustainable travel, while Meatliquor’s Dartmouth Arms offers a destination experience. 

The partnership with Hubber, with Forest Hill as the first site being part of a larger pipeline, increases RAW’s growing UK-wide network of EV charging destinations.

Neil Broadbank, chief commercial officer of RAW Charging, said: “Forest Hill marks the first in a wave of RAW Rapid hubs coming online at key London retail, leisure, and hospitality destinations over the next 12 months.

“Thanks to Hubber and their dynamic approach, we’re unlocking the development and energisation of these sites in record time, with this particular site being acquired, developed and constructed from start to finish in nine months.

RAW are catering to very high driver demand, and we’re enabling and enhancing experiences with EV charging at retail, leisure and hospitality destinations nationwide.”

Harry Fox, co-founder and CEO, Hubber, said: “Large, high-powered hubs like Forest Hill play a vital role in enhancing London’s fast, reliable charging network. We’re proud to deliver this in partnership with RAW and look forward to the long-term benefits this collaboration will bring to drivers and the city.”
