Paua opens Tilbury truck charging hub for UK fleets 

Paua has integrated Fleete’s new electric HGV charging hub at the Port of Tilbury into its network, giving fleet operators immediate access to one of the UK’s most advanced truck charging sites. 

The Tilbury site is built specifically for HGVs and sits at a key logistics gateway serving London and the South East. 

Site specification includes 16 dedicated HGV charging bays with up to 360kW charging speeds, as well as a 5MW grid connection. There is also 24/7 access for fleets. 

Unlike traditional public EV charging sites designed mainly for cars, the Tilbury hub has been developed specifically around the operational needs of commercial vehicles, including larger bays, high-power charging and freight-focused access. 

Truck and van drivers using Paua can turn up, charge, and pay using a single solution, without the need to use separate accounts or cards. 

With electric HGV numbers rising, access to reliable, high-power sites is seen as critical for operators looking to electrify routes without risking downtime. 

As more electric trucks enter operation over the coming years, industry collaboration between charging operators, software platforms and fleets is expected to play a critical role in accelerating adoption. 

Hams Hall Distribution Park and Fleete’s nine other development sites will also become available to Paua customers once these sites become operational. 

Niall Riddell, CEO and Co-founder of Paua, said: “Truck charging needs to work in the real world.  

“That means the right locations, enough space, and chargers that deliver when drivers need them.Tilbury is a strong step forward, and by adding it to Paua, we’re making it usable for fleets today.”
