Startups
InstaVolt develops, installs, owns and operates rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the UK.
For drivers
We pride ourselves on having the simplest and most transparent approach to electric vehicle charging in the UK. All our charging units are available for EV drivers to use on a pay-as-you-go, no subscription basis. There’s no connection charge; drivers simply tap their contactless credit or debit card and only pay for the electricity used.
For landowners
We offer partner-landlords the ability to earn a rental income by allowing us to place our fully-funded rapid charging stations on their sites. Partner-landlords also benefit from other benefits brought by the chargers, including the extra footfall and trade from visiting EV drivers.
Forecourt operators, service stations, retail and leisure outlets, and local authorities are just some of the organisations that can reap the financial rewards of leasing a small area of their land to us.
