How do we ensure a smooth transition from early adopters to mainstream? That was one of the core themes running across this year’s EV SUMMIT, which saw representatives from across industry coming together to explore some of the key challenges and opportunities facing the shift to electric. Our Sales Director, Mark Sherrard, was delighted to take to the stage on Day 1 of the summit, where he joined a panel session exploring public charging technology and the delivery of next level EV solutions. One of the key issues discussed was the importance of strong customer service and maintaining uptime, especially in the face of threats such as theft and vandalism. Mark also stressed the need to ‘keep it simple’, supporting mass adoption through the use of technology that is both reliable and easy for every user. Our thanks to fellow panellists Rodion Borokhovych, Head of UK & IE Office, ECOFACTOR, Jonny Berry⚡️, Head of Decarbonisation, Novuna Vehicle Solutions and Oliver A., EV charging and energy strategy, and Go-to-market at Ford Motor Company. And congratulations to host Ade Thomas and his team at Green.TV, on another insightful and well organised event. #evsummit #evs #electricvehicles #charginginfrastructure Imogen Willoughby Simon Smith

Back on the road in minutes with InstaVolt's electric car charging stations
About us
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.

‘The EV market is stalling’. ‘Nobody wants an electric car’. Yes, these are genuine headlines. But despite what some commentators and sections of the press would still try and have you believe, the momentum and enthusiasm within the EV industry is palpable right now. If you were ever in any doubt, you only have to pay a visit to Goodwood Festival of Speed to see the progress that’s being made, with the event dominated by EVs and cutting-edge innovation. It was a pleasure to attend and explore Electric Avenue with some of InstaVolt’s key partners and customers. Something that really stood out to me was the breadth and depth of design on display. Manufacturers are bringing forward a diverse range of vehicles, covering all levels of the market, and including affordable family EVs that will be crucial as we move from early adopters to mainstream. BYD, Ford, Porche, Lotus, Jaguar Land Rover, MG, Polestar, Hyundai, Renault, BMW, Mini Cooper…. the list goes on. So, are EVs dead? Quite the opposite. The industry is very much alive, charged and ready to accelerate! #evs #electricvehicles #electricfleet #FOS #goodwood Simon Smith Jo Kerr Imogen Willoughby Christian Storm The Goodwood Group

We’ve just welcomed our first apprentice to the team here at InstaVolt and it’s something I’m personally really excited about. I think it’s incredibly important that we inspire and open doors for people of all ages and backgrounds to enter the industry - and the wider renewables space - nurturing the skilled workforce and leaders of the future, who we so vitally need as we move towards a greener economy. It’s also got me reflecting on my own career path and some of the people who have had a lasting impact along the way – those leaders and mentors who I have been fortunate enough to work with and whose influence I still feel today. One such person was Richard Tyroler, the VP of a company I worked for in America. At the time, I wasn’t sure what my next steps should be, but he saw something in me and his belief gave me the confidence to aim high. For that, I will be forever grateful, and I’m delighted to say we remain close to this day. I hope to be able to do the same for others who are now taking the first steps in their career journey. I’m interested to hear from others, which leaders had the greatest impact on your career and why? #leadership #mentor #apprenticeships #greencareers

We've checked in at the last #atoz Checkpoint on the GREENFLEET AtoZ EV Rally, sponsored by Lex Autolease. We're at Checkpoint Z: Zero Carbon Rhug Organic Estate! There's a bank of 8 InstaVolt chargers, there's solar, there's wind... And a little later, well get to meet the man behind the zero carbon dream... Lord Newborough. Next up... The final push... 30-odd miles to Chester and the Finish Line! It's been a challenge... It's been epic... It's been unbeliEVable. #evrally #atoz #collaboration

I’ve been out and about speaking with customers again. This time, paying a visit to our Stroud Park site in Banbury. I was met there by a group of drivers keen to chat to me about all things InstaVolt, including how our system and interfaces work, how fast a charge we deliver, and the kind of functionality on offer in our app. It transpired they were a group of engineers from Jaguar Land Rover, who are travelling round researching and testing different networks (including with the Jaguar I-PACE) and ahead of the launch of the fully electric Range Rover. It was great to meet you Utku Uygun, Yasin Abughrara, Sandeep Singh Chauhan and team, and a pleasure to give you an insight into all that InstaVolt is about. #evs #electricvehicles #evchargers #charginginfrastructure JLR
