InstaVolt has hit a landmark first for a UK business as it leases its 2,000th EV charger
InstaVolt has leased its 2,000th contracted rapid and ultra-rapid charger in the UK. The achievement marks a first for any charge point operator in the country.
Based in Basingstoke, InstaVolt currently operates nearly 1,600 live chargers across the UK
The company plans to to install 11,000 ultra-rapid chargers in the UK and Ireland, 5,000 in Spain and Portugal, and over 300 in Iceland by 2030. The latest additions include several hubs featuring eight or more chargers. InstaVolt is also expanding its presence at existing partner locations, such as McDonald’s, Booths, and Costa Coffee.
New sites are being added across the South East and South West, Yorkshire and Humberside, and the East of England, with further developments planned for Scotland, Wales, and the Midlands. It recently started work on the UK’s largest ever rapid-only charging hub.
Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, said:
“This growth cements our position as the UK’s largest network and, as these new sites demonstrate, we’re still growing fast. Importantly for EV drivers and fleet operators, we continue to place chargers in areas where they’re needed most, including hubs in Yorkshire, the East of England, East Midlands, the North West and the South West.
We’re strengthening our relationships with existing partners, with whom we have long-standing and successful collaborations, as well as working with new landlords, which shows the increasing interest from landowners who want to host our infrastructure.
This is great news because it means we can continue our commitment to growing our infrastructure across the UK, supporting motorists who are making the crucial switch to a greener and more sustainable future by choosing to drive an EV.”
InstaVolt is not only strengthening its relationships with existing partners but also attracting new landlords. This growing interest from landowners enables InstaVolt to continue its expansion. Access to reliable, affordable charging infrastructure has become one of the key barriers to adoption in the UK. InstaVolt’s rapid expansion is vital to putting drivers’ minds at ease, and encouraging more drivers to adopt as it goes.
