InstaVolt triples its order book for EV chargers

InstaVolt has announced plans to acquire an additional 400 rapid electric vehicle chargers from ChargePoint to help accelerate adoption of e-mobility in the UK.

It adds to the 200 DC chargers the Basingstoke-based company purchased last May and shows just how fast the company is building a network of rapid DC chargers across the UK.

The investment triples the company’s current order book with its US-based technology partner, ChargePoint, and highlights its commitment to building the UK’s premium electric vehicle charging network.

Even as more consumers are becoming aware of the advantages of electric vehicles, range anxiety remains one of the biggest deterrents to purchasing an EV.

InstaVolt is trying to ease concerns by installing an extensive network of ChargePoint rapid DC chargers along popular routes, offering quick access for UK drivers to easily charge their vehicles on long journeys.

Chris Burghardt, managing director for Europe, ChargePoint, Inc, said: “ChargePoint has committed significant resources to growing our presence in Europe in the past year, as highlighted by this partnership. InstaVolt’s commitment to triple the number of rapid chargers is another important milestone for ChargePoint that not only expands our relationship with InstaVolt, but supports our mutual commitment to the mass adoption of electric vehicles in Europe.”
