GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hub locations on your route

GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hubs are the highest-power public charging sites on the UK motorway network. CCS bays rated at up to 350 kW sit at Moto and Welcome Break service areas, with 6 to 12 or more bays per hub. This page covers where GRIDSERVE hubs are located, how fast they charge, the pricing model, and how Jornee places them alongside other networks on your route.

01

GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hubs at a glance

GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hubs are high-power CCS charging stations installed at motorway service areas under long-term partnerships with Moto (from 2021) and Welcome Break. Each hub has between 6 and 12 or more CCS bays, all capable of up to 350 kW per bay. The Moto partnership is the primary deployment channel: confirmed GRIDSERVE hub locations include Moto Donington Park on the M1, Moto Cherwell Valley on the M40, and Moto Rugby on the M6. Additional GRIDSERVE hubs have been installed at Welcome Break sites including Beaconsfield on the M40. The network is expanding, so coverage grows as new hubs are commissioned.

GRIDSERVE charging speeds

Every GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hub bay uses CCS2 and is rated at up to 350 kW. How fast your car actually charges depends on its own maximum AC or DC acceptance rate and the battery state of charge. Cars that support 150 kW or more, such as a Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 or BMW iX, can add 100 miles of range in roughly 20 to 30 minutes at a 350 kW GRIDSERVE bay when the battery is between 20 and 80 percent. Not every car reaches 350 kW: a car limited to 50 kW will charge no faster at a GRIDSERVE hub than at any other 50 kW rapid charger. The hub's power is split dynamically across active bays.

GRIDSERVE pricing

GRIDSERVE charges per kWh with no session fee. Payment is by contactless card or through the GRIDSERVE app. No membership or subscription is required to use a GRIDSERVE hub: tap and charge. As of 2025 there was no joining fee, but pricing per kWh changes over time, so the specific pence-per-kWh figure is not quoted here; check the GRIDSERVE website or app for current rates before you charge. The Jornee app does not process payments; it shows the hub location and rated speed.

Finding GRIDSERVE on your route with Jornee

Jornee places GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hubs alongside bp pulse, Osprey and other charging networks on your active route, all ranked by added detour time from your journey. Filter to 150 kW or more to surface only GRIDSERVE and other high-power hubs; filter to 350 kW or more to narrow to the very fastest options on your route. Because GRIDSERVE hubs sit at Moto and Welcome Break service areas, you can also filter by food brand or HGV parking at the same stop. No booking is needed or available through Jornee.

GRIDSERVE hubs are located at Moto and Welcome Break motorway service areas. Named Moto sites with GRIDSERVE include Donington Park (M1), Cherwell Valley (M40) and Rugby (M6). Beaconsfield Welcome Break (M40) also has a GRIDSERVE hub. The network is expanding. The Jornee app shows all GRIDSERVE motorway stops on your route, ranked by added detour time.
How fast does GRIDSERVE charge?
GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hub bays deliver up to 350 kW on CCS2. How quickly your car charges depends on its own acceptance rate. A car capable of 150 kW or more can typically add 100 miles in 20 to 30 minutes between 20 and 80 percent battery. Cars limited to lower power will charge at their own maximum rate regardless of the hub's 350 kW capability.
Do I need a membership to use GRIDSERVE?
No. GRIDSERVE Electric Super Hubs accept contactless card payment at the unit with no membership required. A free GRIDSERVE app is also available. As of 2025, there was no session fee; you pay per kWh. Pricing changes over time, so check the current rate at gridserve.com or in the app before your journey.
