INSTAVOLT, which has major charging locations in Weston-super-Mare, has been named as Best Charging Network 2025 by electrifying.com, a consumer website for car buyers, car enthusiasts and car owners.

InstaVolt has a large charging station with eight rapid chargers located between the McDonalds and Tim Hortons off the A370.

There also is a charging station in Yatton and at Lye Cross Farm on the A38.

The company is the largest rapid charging network in the UK with almost 2,000 chargers, all supplied with 100 per cent green electricity from renewable sources through Octopus Energy for Business.

With the aim of being the benchmark for reliable, contactless EV charging across the world, InstaVolt has plans in place to install 11,000 ultra rapid chargers in the UK and Ireland.

In addition, it has more than 250 chargers either contracted or in construction, across Portugal and Spain with plans to install 5,000 chargers across the Iberian Peninsula and more than 300 in Iceland.

In its citation announcing InstaVolt the winner, electrifying.com, said: “As the electric car market evolves from early adopters to the mainstream, drivers expect the recharging process to be as simple and as slick as refuelling a petrol or diesel car.

“As one of the few operators who are able to achieve this on a vast scale, InstaVolt is a worthy winner of our Best Charging Network award.”
