Charging firm InstaVolt has announced drivers can access a cheaper rate during off-peak hours.

From 4 February, drivers can access the cheaper rate of just 54p per kWh between 9pm and 7am, providing two extra hours to take advantage of off-peak pricing.

As EV ownership continues to grow, InstaVolt said it “remains committed to providing a fast, reliable, and cost-effective public charging network for drivers who don’t have access to home charging”.

It is continuously expanding its network of ultra-rapid charging hubs, with the Winchester Superhub set to open in March 2025.

Located near the A34 and close to the M3, the site will feature 44 ultra-rapid chargers, making it InstaVolt’s largest superhub to date.

The Superhub includes dedicated bays for larger vehicles and those towing, on-site solar panels and battery storage to reduce reliance on the grid, a new café and 24/7 toilet facilities for driver comfort, and a dedicated dog-walking area and children’s play park.

Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, said:

“We’re always listening to our customers, and they told us they wanted off-peak pricing to start earlier and finish later.

“By extending our off-peak window, we’ve made it even easier for drivers to access cheaper charging, whether they’re finishing work, setting off early, or simply looking to cut costs.

“We hope that by making public charging as affordable and accessible as possible it will encourage more drivers to make the switch to electric.”
