MFG EV Power goes live on Hubject Plug&Charge in the UK

By AI, Created 10:35 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Hubject and Motor Fuel Group launched Plug&Charge across MFG EV Power’s UK rapid charging network on May 1, 2026. The rollout brings automatic charging to about 2,000 charge points and marks one of Hubject’s largest single Plug&Charge activations to date.

Why it matters: - The launch makes Plug&Charge available across the UK’s largest rapid charging network by charge-point count. - Drivers with compatible EVs can start charging automatically without an app, RFID card or manual login at the charger. - The rollout strengthens the case for Plug&Charge as a standard for public charging in the UK.

What happened: - Hubject and Motor Fuel Group announced a Plug&Charge partnership that went live on 1 May 2026. - The integration connects MFG EV Power to Hubject’s Plug&Charge infrastructure. - The launch brings Plug&Charge capability to approximately 2,700 rapid and ultra-rapid charge points across the UK. - The partnership activates more than 2,000 charge points at the same time on launch day. - The companies described the rollout as one of the largest single Plug&Charge activations on Hubject’s infrastructure to date.

The details: - MFG EV Power operates more than 500 sites across the UK. - The network includes chargers from 50kW to 400kW. - All of MFG EV Power’s ultra-rapid charging hubs use 100% REGO-certified renewable energy. - MFG has committed more than £400 million to its EV charging strategy. - MFG aims to have 3,000+ ultra-rapid chargers across its network by 2030. - Motor Fuel Group operates more than 1,200 forecourt sites across the UK. - MFG is the fifth-largest retailer in the country by number of stores. - In 2024, MFG completed a £2.5 billion acquisition of 337 Morrisons petrol forecourts. - The acquisition expanded MFG’s footprint and its pipeline for future EV charging development. - Hubject operates the world’s largest cross-provider charging network, with more than 1,100,000 charging points and more than 3,500 B2B partners across 75+ countries. - Hubject’s Plug&Charge technology reaches 4,500,000 PnC-ready EVs and uses ISO 15118-2 and -20 standards.

Between the lines: - The launch gives Hubject a major UK proof point in a market the company calls one of Europe’s most important and fastest growing EV markets. - MFG’s scale, site ownership and planned charger buildout give the partnership a large base for future rollout. - The move also fits MFG’s broader push to make EV charging easier for UK drivers and support the country’s climate goals.

What’s next: - MFG plans to keep expanding its ultra-rapid charging network toward 3,000 chargers by 2030. - MFG also plans to complete its EV rollout to all suitable remaining locations by 2035. - The companies are likely to use the launch as a platform for broader Plug&Charge adoption across public charging.

The bottom line: - MFG EV Power’s live integration with Hubject gives thousands of UK chargers a frictionless start-up experience and sets up one of the country’s biggest tests of Plug&Charge at scale.
