Hi, thank you for your review.
We’re pleased to hear you found the charger excellent and that the detailed billing facility was helpful. Providing clear and transparent charge information is something we aim to make as straightforward as possible for our customers.
Thank you for choosing InstaVolt and we hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, the InstaVolt Team.

Everyone download this app for saving and the fee of charging pre authentication goes from £45 to £20. This will make a huge difference going forward it is easier to charge using your app.

Not enough chargers
I found a charger. That’s it. I live locally and don’t have a charger at home. Only two in Wincanton Somerset and now the KFC is closed (it had 4 chargers) and if you are lucky enough to get a spot. Win win. Now I have a RFID card it’s a breeze. Wish it was faster but hey ho.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience.
We’re glad to hear that having an RFID card has made charging easier for you and that you’re able to make use of the chargers locally. We understand that availability can be challenging, especially with the closure of the KFC site in Wincanton, and we appreciate your patience.
Your feedback around charging speed is also noted. While many factors can affect how quickly a vehicle charges, we are continually investing in our network to improve reliability and performance, as well as expanding coverage where possible.
Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to charge with InstaVolt. We hope to continue supporting your charging needs locally. Kind regards, the InstaVolt Team.

I was really low and swung into my normal charger at Poulton only to find that it has a fault. It was saying still in use from previous day. I rang helpline and bloke I spoke to was really helpful. He told me maintenance were aware but unlikely to show up on a Sunday. He restarted it and told me it still showing as in use but debit card may be available instead of app. It worked :-) I was relieved as I could only use that one as I need chademo

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your five star review! We are really pleased to hear that our helpline team were able to assist you and get you charging, especially when you were low on battery and needed a CHAdeMO connector. While we’re sorry for the initial inconvenience caused by the charger showing as in use, it’s great to know that the restart and alternative payment method worked and helped you get back on the road.
Your feedback is much appreciated and will be shared with the team. We hope to see you charging with us again soon.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team
Unreliable Charging and Poor Support: My Frustrating Experience with Instavolt
Instavolt is the worst company for charging electric cars because they are unreliable. So if you’re low on battery and need to use a charging station, don’t choose Instavolt, go for another one to avoid problems. I’m an Uber driver, and I recharge my car on the street one or two times a day, and Instavolt has let me down countless times. I’ve reported the issues, but nothing has been done, and no one has contacted me. I’ve had serious problems. The latest one happened three weeks ago. I called support and asked for a complimentary charge, but they didn’t do anything. I had to leave and head to another location, and my car’s battery died on the way. I had to call for a tow, lost hours of work, and this all happened in the middle of the night, around midnight. I didn’t get home until 6 a.m. because the tow took three hours to arrive. And all these issues have happened in the rain, in the cold, and it’s always a long, frustrating process. Now, you might ask, why do I still use Instavolt? I only use it because of a promotion in the app that makes charging cheaper, so I take the risk. But often, cheap ends up being expensive because the charging just doesn’t work. And when I’ve contacted their support, they’ve tried to blame my car. How can it be my car when I charge it every day without issues with other providers? It’s clearly Instavolt’s machines that don’t work properly. So, I want to leave this review to warn you and tell you not to trust this company, especially if your battery is low. I’m also attaching a video so you can see what happened to me.

Good afternoon,
We are very sorry to read about your experience, we do appreciate the time taken to leave your feedback. This is certainly not the level of reliability or support we aim to provide.
We understand how stressful it can be to encounter charging issues when your battery is low, especially late at night and in poor weather, and we genuinely apologise for the inconvenience and distress this situation caused.
We take reports like this very seriously. We have sent you an information request asking for further details of the charging session, including the location, date and time, so that we can fully investigate what happened with the charger and review the support provided. Once we receive this information, we will be able to look into the issue in detail.
We hope to hear from you soon so we can investigate this properly and work towards a resolution for you.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team
3 failed charges @ 3 trees
I tried to use three trees EV chargers, between Marlborough and Swindon. I tried 3 of the 4 ChadeMo chargers several times.
Every time that it actually connected and got started, it automatically STOPPED.
Why are these so unreliable? Lovely location but they need to work! So frustrating. Yes I tried your app, a credit card on my phone.
The screen showed a £nil charge to AMEX - which I do not use!!??

Good afternoon,
Thank you for letting us know about the issue you experienced at Three Trees. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.
The charger is currently available and has been operating as usual since your visit with sessions since, however, we will continue to monitor the station, in case we receive further reports that could suggest a potential problem that needs further investigation.
Thank you for taking the time to report this to us and if you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team

Good afternoon,
Thank you for letting us know about the issue you experienced at our Necton charger, we apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Our Network Performance team have investigated this and have identified an issue with the charger. Once a resolution for the issue has been identified, an engineer will be dispatched to site to carry out a repair or a fix will be implemented remotely if possible.
When you initiate a charge via a card, a pre-authorisation fee of £15.00 or £45.00 (depending on the charger model) will be reserved on your card. This will be taken each time you tap your card to try to start a charge and is intended to validate the payment card and ensure that sufficient funds exist to complete a transaction. Depending on who you bank with you may see these as pending transactions or they will appear to have been taken from your account.
If the charge was successful, the pre-authorisation amount will be cancelled and replaced with the actual amount you were charged for the electricity received. If your charge was unsuccessful, the amount will be returned automatically. All pre-authorisation amounts are released automatically by InstaVolt; depending on who you bank with, it may take 5-10 working days (or sooner) to reflect this.
If you use our chargers regularly and would like to work around the pre-authorisation fees, you could download our app and use it to start a charging session. As your payment card is already authenticated on the app, no pre-authorisation fees get taken when you charge via this method.
I apologise again for the inconvenience caused by your experience and if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch at info@instavolt.co.uk
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team
Very poor service
1. Provide a roof as in all petrol/diesel service stations. We are always getting wet/cold.
2. Create an incentive to have an electric vehicle, ie less cost than petrol/fuel. It is currently far too expensive.
3. Provide a receipt so we know what we have spent.
4. Make it user friendly, by providing human help!
5. The screens don’t work when wet.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We understand how important protection from the weather is, especially during longer charging sessions. While many of our sites are located on land where we don’t control the infrastructure, we continue to explore opportunities with landowners to introduce shelters where possible.
We recognise concerns around pricing, and we’re committed to offering competitive rates while maintaining a reliable network. We recently introduced an off-peak tariff available via the InstaVolt app and RFID card, helping reduce charging costs for drivers during quieter times.
If you charge using the InstaVolt app or an RFID card, a full session history, including receipts, is available directly in your account. We’re also working on improvements to provide more seamless access to receipts across all payment methods.
Our customer support team is available 24/7 and can often resolve issues immediately while you're at the charger. You can reach us anytime on 0808 281 4444.
With regards to your feedback on the charging screens, your comments have been passed to our technical team, who continually review how our equipment performs in real-world weather conditions.
We’re committed to improving your charging experience and hope we can show you the positive steps we’re taking on your next visit. If you’d like to talk anything through directly, please feel free to get in touch with our team.
Kind regards, the InstaVolt team
Winchester - Its says up to 160Kwh, but dont expect that !
I went to the Winchester Superhub - there were only a handful of people on the charging station on a Saturday lunchtime. The Website says up to 160Kwh, but the Charger only delivered at 70Kwh which was very annoying. I have an EV6 CCS car capable of faster charging and did not expect that. My Battery was not full so slowing the charge. A very disappointing experience.

Hi Shirley,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear you weren’t able to access the Off-Peak tariff during your recent charge. The reduced rate is available automatically during Off-Peak hours when using the InstaVolt app, so we’d really appreciate it if you could confirm whether the session was started through the app or contactless.
If you did use the app and still didn’t receive the Off-Peak rate, please reach out to our support team with the date, time, and charger location so we can investigate this for you. We want to make sure you’re always getting the correct tariff when you charge with us.
Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope we can get this resolved for you quickly.
Slow and unreliable
Used one yesterday. Very slow. Tried 2 today, neither worked. 3rd one connected but still super slow for a rapid that costs over the odds in comparison to some 7kW and 22kW chargers.

Great Charging at Barnstable Instavolt.
Great Charging Experience at Barnstable Instavolt
Stopped at the Instavolt charger in Barnstable and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The chargers were easy to find, clearly sign-posted, and the whole area felt clean and well maintained. Plugging in was quick and straightforward, with the charger starting up almost instantly—no fussing with the app it worked instantly to, also there is a payment screen if you don't use the app.
The charging speed was reliably fast, and I was back on the road much sooner than expected. What really stood out was how simple and stress-free the whole process was. It’s exactly what you want from a public charging stop: quick, convenient, and dependable.
Highly recommended for anyone passing through Barnstable and needing a top-up.

As a ev owner who has to rely solely on public charges have found InstaVolt to be the best option locally. So easy to use the chargers - very simple clear instructions. I have taken full advantage of the price drop and am particularly happy that this now starts at an earlier time. I was finding myself alone in a car park late at night once the nearby food outlets closed. One outlet is now open 24 hours and combined with the earlier price drop this has made the experience not so daunting. App is very easy to use. Only issue is I wish I could add a payment card to the app rather than having to put the details in every time but it’s a small inconvenience.
