After Elon Musk abruptly fired Tesla's entire Supercharger team, three ex-employees launched Hubber, a UK-based EV charging startup focused on high-speed urban hubs for taxis and delivery fleets. Leveraging their experience deploying over 1,200 chargers, they aim to fill the urban fast-charging gap. Backed by £60M (~$81M), Hubber's first site opens August 20 in South London with 12 bays and up to 300kW chargers.
