Kempower and Charge Hub expand UK partnership for commercial fleet charging with south London bus depots
By Eve
DC fast charging manufacturer Kempower has widened its partnership with Charge Hub to deliver commercial fleet charging sites across the UK, starting with electrified bus depots in south London locations including Bexleyheath, Croydon, Sydenham, Thamesmead and Peckham due for commissioning in the coming months. The collaboration builds on work in Australia, where the pair have completed 100 projects totalling more than 900 active connectors, 52 MW of installed capacity and 11.8 GWh of energy delivered at 99.4 per cent uptime. Charge Hub provides turnkey solutions covering site design, installation, operation and maintenance, with Kempower supplying its distributed charging systems.
Why it matters: The partnership signals a proven fleet charging model entering the UK market with a track record of high uptime and scale in Australia, offering CPOs and fleet operators a reference for distributed DC systems in depot environments. The south London bus depot pipeline provides near term procurement visibility for suppliers targeting the commercial vehicle segment.
