Gridserve, the UK-based sustainable energy company, and Moto, a leading UK motorway service area operator, have joined forces to launch two new ‘Electric Super Hubs’ on the A1(M) at Moto Washington North and South. Each hub consists of six 350kW high-power chargers, contributing to Gridserve’s Electric Highway network, which now comprises over 160 locations.
One of the critical factors in the success of EV charging networks is the ease of use and accessibility for users. To address this issue, all of Gridserve’s charging hubs feature both CCS and CHAdeMO connectors, accept contactless payment, and provide real-time status updates to a plethora of popular EV charging maps.

According to the partners, they have installed over 320 EV charging points since 2021, with 142 of those being high-power charging points across 18 locations. Gridserve reported installing 32 charging stations in January alone, building on several announcements made by the two partners last summer and earlier this year.
Toddington Harper, CEO of Gridserve, expressed his excitement about the new charging hubs, stating: “We are thrilled to open our next Electric Super Hubs at both Washington North and Southbound. As the demand for electric vehicles and charging increases, it is vital we continue this pace to roll out the installation of High Power chargers to support EV drivers and those making the switch to electric.”
The launch of these two Electric Super Hubs is a significant milestone for Gridserve and Moto, and it reinforces their commitment to sustainable transportation. The availability of high-power charging stations across the country is a crucial step towards enabling long-distance travel and making electric vehicles accessible to more people.
