CHARGING & INFRASTRUCTURE

“RANGE ANXIETY WILL SOON BE A THING OF THE PAST ”

ADRIAN KEEN CEO , INSTAVOLT
TS : What does an adequate charging network look like ?
It ’ s essential it keeps up with the demand of EV adoption . However , this isn ’ t solely focused on charger numbers , but also network reliability and driver experience .
We ’ re focused on ensuring our network availability remains at an industry leading 99.9 %, which is key to the customer experience . We monitor the health of our network in real time so our team of service engineers can react to any issue or fault as soon as it arises .
Vital to mass EV adoption is ensuring there are enough chargers available . We have plans to install 10,000 rapid chargers by 2030 , and with 1,200 existing chargers across the country , InstaVolt is installing at a faster rate than any other charge point operator . We are committed to our rapid roll-out , to reach these goals and pave the way to an electric future .
Finally , we ’ re focusing on driver experience . We see the market demanding more hubs – sites of eight or more chargers , with food and drink amenities for drivers , good access and sufficient power . We ’ re building a truly nationwide network that provides an enjoyable charging experience for all drivers .
