By / 2 months ago / UK News / No Comments

InstaVolt has opened a new EV charging hub near the M4 motorway by Swindon.

InstaVolt is delivering on its commitment to install 11,000 ultra-rapid chargers in the UK and Ireland

Situated just off junction 16, the Lydiard Fields site features 12 ultra-rapid charging bays, including six accessible bays, and offers access to a range of amenities for commuters and holidaymakers.

Adjacent to the site is a Subway, Costa Coffee, Greggs and a Londis convenience store, while the nearby business park includes both a Hilton Hotel and a Premier Inn.

The site forms part of InstaVolt’s new phase of growth to deliver on its commitment to install 11,000 ultra-rapid chargers in the UK and Ireland. The network solely installs ultra-rapid chargers over 100kW.

InstaVolt chief commercial officer Simon Smith said: “With traffic numbers set to rise more than 50% over the coming years, it’s crucial that the growing numbers of EV drivers have access to a comprehensive ultra-rapid charging infrastructure that they can rely on.

“Now EV drivers on this busy route will be able to stop off, enjoy the convenience of contactless payment, and get a fast and reliable charge. And with access to a range of food and beverage facilities close by, they can enjoy a break and stretch their legs, recharge and be back on the road in no time.|

“Delivering sites such as Lydiard Fields is essential to improving the charging infrastructure across the country, bringing continued confidence not only to the sector as a whole but crucially to those motorists who are making the switch to a more sustainable and greener future by choosing to drive an EV.”
