InstaVolt

Private Equity Round in 2024
InstaVolt is leading the way in EV charging infrastructure, helping to make the UK an easier place to own and operate an electric vehicle. They own, install and maintain rapid electric vehicle charging units all over the country, giving landowners the opportunity to earn a rental income by housing them, and giving EV drivers access to the fastest charging available. They are driven by their passion for protecting the environment. At their core is a mission to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions. Air quality has reached critical levels in cities across the UK and cars, buses and lorries have been proven as contributing significantly to the problem. Increasing the use of electric vehicles, which emit zero emissions, is an important part of the solution. According to Government statistics, one of the biggest barriers that deters people from buying EVs is range anxiety – the fear of running out of charge. InstaVolt will ensure a rapid charging point is easily accessible to everyone in the country. They believe that charging an electric vehicle should be quick and easy. It’s why, unlike many other companies, they operate an ‘open charger’ model, so anyone can use their charging points on a pay-as-you-go basis. No monthly subscription and no membership cards are required.
