Charge cars with clean power.
ChargeHub plans and operates EV charging stations powered by hybrid renewable systems such as solar, storage and grid backup, sized through feasibility optimisation for reliable, low-cost charging.
The problem
EVs are growing fast, but charging must be clean and reliable.
Charging electric vehicles from a fossil-heavy or unstable grid limits their benefits. Hybrid renewable systems can deliver cleaner, more reliable charging, if they are sized correctly for each site.

How it works
How it works
A clear path from data to decision.
Assess
Site solar resource, demand and grid conditions are analysed.
Optimise
Hybrid renewable configurations are compared for cost and reliability.
Build
The charging station is installed with the best configuration.
Operate
Smart management balances solar, storage and grid in real time.
Product
What makes it different.
Every feature is grounded in the founding research.
Renewable-first
Stations run on solar and storage wherever possible.
Feasibility-optimised
Each site is sized through techno-economic optimisation.
Reliable supply
Hybrid design keeps chargers running when the grid is weak.
Made for sunny cities
Built for regions with strong solar potential.
Who it's for

FAQ
Questions we hear often.
Which renewable sources do you use?
Mainly solar PV with battery storage, combined with grid backup for reliability.
Can you design a station for our site?
Yes. We run a feasibility assessment for each location.
Is this a finished commercial product?
It is a research-based student startup moving from validated prototype toward pilots with real users.
Can we partner or run a pilot?
Yes. We are looking for organisations willing to test the solution in real conditions and share feedback.
