EV chargepoint supplier InstaVolt has launched one of the UK’s largest EV charging hubs in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
Work started on the Banbury hub expansion in January 2022, adding eight 150kW Alpitronic chargers to the already stationed eight 125kW chargers – taking the total number to 16 rapid chargers at the site.
The site’s overall services have also been upgraded with additional lighting, wider access spaces and two longer spaces to accommodate the rising number of electric vans and fleet vehicles.
There are also plans for seating on site and a small wildflower meadow, to increase biodiversity and create a habitat for pollinating insects.
In the 12 months to March 2022, InstaVolt has expanded its network by 45%, and the Banbury hub launch forms part of InstaVolt’s aim to grow to 10,000 rapid chargers by 2032.
InstaVolt CEO Adrian Keen said: “We know that the key to encouraging uptake of electric vehicles falls largely on the shoulders of organisations like InstaVolt who are instrumental in placing the infrastructure.
“We take great pride and pleasure in ensuring that this infrastructure is implemented to create the best user experience possible.
“The launch of the Banbury hub follows our most successful period to date and is indicative of our continued methods of activity as we work toward our 2032 goal.”
The InstaVolt charger network delivers rapid charge via contactless payment with no customer sign up or subscription required.
