InstaVolt and OVO partner to enhance EV charging convenience in the UK
InstaVolt, a leading UK electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has partnered with energy provider OVO to improve the charging experience for drivers nationwide. This collaboration integrates InstaVolt’s network of nearly 2,000 rapid chargers with OVO’s “Charge Anywhere” platform. Through the OVO Charge app, drivers can now easily locate and pay for charging sessions at InstaVolt stations, with real-time availability updates aiding in efficient journey planning.
Convenience plays a crucial role in the adoption of EVs. The overall charging experience—including ease of use, accessibility, and convenience—is as important as reliability. By focusing on these aspects, the partnership between InstaVolt and OVO aims to make public charging more seamless and stress-free for all drivers.
This announcement comes as InstaVolt continues to expand. In March, the company opened a 44-bay “Superhub” in Winchester, featuring cutting-edge technology, on-site solar panels, battery storage systems, and a Starbucks café. The site is powered entirely by renewable energy. Looking ahead, InstaVolt plans to grow its network to 11,000 chargers across the UK and Ireland by 2030. With partners like OVO, that future is becoming more accessible—one charge at a time.
Simon Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at InstaVolt, commented:
“We are thrilled to partner with OVO on Charge Anywhere. At InstaVolt, we are always looking to collaborate with forward-thinking organisations that share our vision for an electrified future.
This partnership with OVO is part of a broader collaboration, where OVO will utilise our network of chargers to encourage drivers to use the OVO Charge app and benefit from a better public charging experience. By working with us, OVO is supporting EV drivers with a seamless charging experience. It’s a win-win—benefiting businesses, customers, and the wider push towards sustainable transport.”
