Power where it is needed — metered and managed
Smart Power is HUBCORE's family of directions: from a USB-C output for a phone or laptop to a managed 230 V socket, car park charging and building energy control. Every direction is clearly labelled: what can be ordered per site today, what is a pilot, what is planned and what is still research.
HUBCORE is not an electricity retailer or grid operator — the service runs behind the site owner's existing grid connection.
Smart Power directions
Six directions in one family. The label states honestly how far each direction has come.
Micro Power / USB-C
A metered USB-C PD and USB-A output for a phone, tablet or laptop — on a bench, in a waiting area, a market or a rest area.
Delivered per site; ask for an offer.
Managed 230 V
A managed 230 V socket for ordinary equipment: a market stall, a tool, lighting or a seasonal service, with time and power limits.
Delivered per site; ask for an offer.
EV / Park
EV charging in a car park and during long parking — with suitable certified charging equipment installed by a partner, according to the site configuration.
Pilot and site-specific; equipment choice depends on the suitability check.
Fleet / Depot
Overnight charging for a fleet or depot, with queueing and sharing of the site's available power.
Planned; pilots by agreement on site.
Energy Orchestrator
A control direction that ties outputs, charging, solar and battery into one load and priority logic.
A planned control direction — real control applies only once a specific integration is connected on site.
Phase Matrix / Phase exchange
We are researching how to redistribute and meter spare capacity between phases more precisely.
Research and development only; not a product or a service.

Where to look for what
This page covers metered, controllable outputs. Vehicle charging and building energy management have their own pages.
EV charging
Vehicle charging solutions and power levels.
Public charging
Public access and finding charging locations.
Energy management
Building energy flows, solar and battery in one logic.
Load management
Main fuse limits, priorities and phase balance.
For businesses
The buyer's view — it gathers the directions and links to the deeper pages.
What a smart power point does
230 V socket outlets
A controllable 230 V output for ordinary equipment — a market stall, a tool, lighting or a seasonal service.
USB-A and USB-C PD outputs
Primarily USB-C PD for a phone, tablet or laptop. USB-A remains available for compatibility.
Per-output metering
Each output is metered separately, so usage, cost and revenue can be tracked per site.
On/off, power and time limits
An output can be controlled remotely and given a power ceiling, a duration limit or an energy quota.
QR + HUBCORE ID access
The user scans a QR code and identifies with a HUBCORE ID. Wallet and RFID are planned but not yet available.
Free, group-based or paid use
The site owner decides whether use is free, limited to a defined user group, or paid. The billing model is legally validated before any real sales.
Dynamic load management
Smart power points are included in the same load management as EV charging, building consumption, solar and battery, so the site's main fuse stays within limits.
Safe default state and loss of connectivity
The local controller keeps a pre-agreed safe default state even when the cloud connection drops, and restores state in a controlled way.
Event log and fault alerts
Every command, session and fault is written to an event log; the operator receives a fault notification.
Who it is for

- Tools and short-term work
- Pop-up and event sales point
- A clear agreed power and time limit
Members of the public
- Phone and tablet
- Laptop from a USB-C PD output
- A bike battery or a small device
- Only within a suitable output and its safety limits
How a session works
- 1
Find the point or scan the QR code
The user finds the power point on site or on a map and scans the QR code next to the output.
- 2
Identify yourself
Identification uses a HUBCORE ID. Wallet and RFID are a future plan, not a current feature.
- 3
Choose a duration or an energy amount
The user selects a duration or an energy amount within the limits set by the site owner.
- 4
Activate the output
The output is switched on only when load management allows it and the safety conditions are met.
- 5
Meter the usage
Consumption is metered per output and shown during the session.
- 6
End or bill the session
The session ends at the user's request or when the limit is reached. Billing for paid use is legally validated before launch.
- 7
Report for the site owner
The owner sees consumption, cost and any revenue per output and per site, together with the event log.
Honest pilot status
- Smart power points are in development and pilot stage; the described capability is delivered site by site.
- Hardware, the number of outputs and the permitted power are decided after a technical and safety suitability check.
- Wallet and RFID access are planned but not yet usable.
- The billing model for paid use requires legal validation before any real sales.
