InstaVolt's latest 'superhub' at Syon Park, West London

InstaVolt, the UK’s largest rapid EV charging network, has installed a record number of chargers in the first quarter of 2024.

The Basingstoke company says it’s implementing chargers at a faster rate than any other charge point operator, making 128 installations at 44 sites across the country between January and March.

This includes the launch of InstaVolt’s latest superhub, which opened last month at Syon Park in West London.

The quarter also saw a record number of leased chargers now set to enter into construction, with 100 leased in March alone – a record month for the company.

Simon Smith, CCO of InstaVolt, said: “As a team, we’re thrilled to be able to announce we’ve gone above and beyond our installation targets for this first quarter.

“This delivery is essential to improving charging infrastructure across the country, bringing continued confidence to the sector and to those who are making the switch to a more sustainable and greener future by choosing to drive an EV.”

InstaVolt has plans in place to install 11,000 chargers in the UK and Ireland, 5,000 across Spain and Portugal, and more than 300 in Iceland.

Its goal is to become the largest charge point operator in Europe.
