Moto Hospitality has opened a new ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging hub at its Exeter motorway service station, expanding the site into what the company says is the largest EV charging hub in the United Kingdom.
The latest phase of the Exeter Mega Hub adds 24 Moto Charge ultra-rapid charging bays capable of delivering charging speeds of up to 400 kW, significantly increasing charging capacity for both private motorists and commercial vehicle operators.

Moto Hospitality Plans Major EV Charging Expansion Across UK Network
With the expansion complete, the Exeter Mega Hub now offers 100 ultra-rapid charging bays for electric cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, alongside four dedicated charging bays designed specifically for electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs).
Moto said the project represents a major milestone in its strategy to expand public charging infrastructure along the UK’s motorway network.
Part of £500 Million Investment Plan
The Exeter expansion forms part of Moto Hospitality’s broader investment programme, under which the company plans to invest more than £500 million across its nationwide portfolio of motorway service areas.
Moto currently operates more than 60 motorway service stations throughout the United Kingdom, providing fuel, food, retail and rest facilities while increasingly expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

As part of its long-term electrification strategy, the company aims to increase the number of EV charging bays across its network from approximately 1,000 today to more than 4,000.
Supporting the UK’s EV Transition
Gridserve Chief Executive Officer Daniel Kunkel said the Exeter project demonstrates how coordinated infrastructure investment can accelerate electric transport adoption.
“EV charging hubs like Exeter show what’s possible when long-term infrastructure planning, grid investment and cutting-edge technology come together to support the shift to electric transport for everyone.”
He added that Gridserve’s partnership with Moto continues to support the rollout of high-power charging infrastructure both at Exeter and across the wider motorway network.
The expanded charging hub is designed to accommodate growing demand from passenger vehicles as well as commercial electric fleets, supporting the continued transition toward zero-emission transport across the United Kingdom.
