InstaVolt launches its largest charging hub in the UK
An additional 16 chargers have been installed at Stroud Park in Banbury in response to continued growth of electric vehicle adoption.
InstaVolt has launched its largest charging hub yet at Stroud Park, Banbury. The site now offers an additional 16 new 120kW rapid chargers in response to continued growth in EV usage.
The station is now one of the United Kingdom’s largest charging hubs, with 32 chargers in total. The new equipment has joined the previously installed eight 125kW rapid chargers and eight 150kW Alpitronic chargers. In addition, complying with PAS1899 specification for accessible charge points, the site now includes twelve wider access bays and four fully accessible bays.
The four accessible bays have the required 1.2m distancing in front of, and between the chargepoints. All 16 new chargers are installed flush to the ground at the same level as the parking bay and the site features additional lighting throughout.
“As of last month, there are over 690,000 battery-electric cars on UK roads. InstaVolt is taking steps, such as our Stroud Park expansion, to ensure that adequate charging infrastructure is available to keep up with the increase in EV uptake and bridge the gap between the number of vehicles and chargers,” said Adrian Keen, CEO of InstaVolt.
The new development at Banbury forms part of InstaVolt’s dedication to developing and improving charging infrastructure, to accelerate EV uptake in the UK and Europe. The activation of the Stroud Park expansion saw the company energize its 1,000th charger in the UK.
