Aegis Energy is planning to open a commercial vehicle charging hub on the M25 after securing a site at Dartford and a significant grid connection at the former Littlebrook Power Station.
Located 1.4 miles from the Dartford Crossing at a key M25 freight interchange, the site will be turned into a multi-energy refuelling hub for vans and HGVs, including bookable, high-speed electric charging alongside bio-CNG and HVO.
It will be designed to accommodate both heavy trucks and vans, with space for dozens of vehicles to refuel/recharge simultaneously.
The site – purchased from logistics real estate investor and manager Tritax Big Box, and partner Bericote Properties – was chosen as a key gateway for freight travelling between London, the Midlands and continental Europe via the Port of Dover.
Aegis Energy plans to engage and work with the local community, council, businesses and stakeholders ahead of submitting a planning application in 2026.
Alongside secure parking, the Dartford hub will provide improved driver welfare facilities with clean toilets, rest areas and food services designed to support those working long hours on the road and in the business park.
Michael Shaw, CEO of Aegis Energy, said, “Every day, thousands of vans and HGVs pass through this corridor moving goods between London, the Midlands and continental Europe.
“If we want fleets to switch to cleaner vehicles at scale, the infrastructure has to sit exactly where those journeys happen.
“Securing this site allows us to do just that, placing reliable charging and low-carbon fuels right on one of the busiest logistics routes in the country.”
