Property manager Waypoint Asset Management has signed up InstaVolt to install rapid chargers at locations across the UK.

Each of the sites will have a minimum of two 160kW rapid chargers, with InstaVolt to install up to 100 chargers in total.

It’s the first time that Waypoint will work with an EV charging network and supports the company’s wider sustainability goals of being committed to managing environmental impact in the most effective and responsible manner possible.

Each of the sites will have a minimum of two 160kW rapid chargers, with InstaVolt to install up to 100 chargers in total. The first sites are already operational.

Jonny Waller, asset manager at Waypoint Asset Management, said: “We recognise that our business activities have both direct and indirect impacts on the environment and are consistently seeking ways to improve this. We’re excited to start rolling out the chargers across our client’s sites, to encourage conscientious choices for our occupiers and feed into the UK’s overarching aim to provide EV owners with a charging infrastructure in key UK locations.”

The partnership forms part of InstaVolt’s major infrastructure expansion plans following its acquisition by EQT in 2022; the company has a target of 10,000 rapid EV chargers by 2032, focused on reliability and ease of use.

Antony Urquhart, chief commercial officer at InstaVolt, commented: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Waypoint Asset Management, installing reliable, easy-to-use charging infrastructure at more key routes across the country for EV owners. We’re already a healthy way into 2023, and we know that the next few years are crucial to forming a solid infrastructure with key partners ahead of the 2030 ICE ban. This partnership is crucial to moving this forward.”
