The partnership supports Select customers making the switch to EVs by ensuring they have access to highly reliable, rapid public charging wherever they need it.

The tie-up will also give drivers access to ongoing offers and promotions from InstaVolt, as well as insights and tips for drivers.

Graham Conway, managing director of Select Car Leasing, said: “We are delighted to formalise this partnership with InstaVolt, enabling thousands of our customers to get access to some of the fastest electric vehicle charging available in the UK today. As an industry we need crucial partnerships like these to blossom to ensure that all the UK motorists get the best possible experience when driving an electric vehicle, so we’re very excited to be working together with them in 2022 and beyond.”

InstaVolt is also continuing its work to expand its network to ensure driver confidence in the UK’s charging network. It currently has more than 900 rapid chargers in operations or under construction and has pledged to install 10,000 new rapid chargers over the next 10 years.

Chief executive officer Adrian Keen commented: “With chargers at locations including Costa Coffee, Bannatyne Health Clubs, EH Booths and McDonald’s restaurants, our network is ideally located for drivers to enjoy a quick stop on longer journeys.

“InstaVolt will continue to work with best-in-class partners to make EV public charging a seamless experience for the UK’s drivers. We plan to work closely with all sectors to encourage more people to switch to EVs thus helping the Government meet its zero-carbon emissions target by 2050.”
