Green travel gets a boost in Blackfen with new InstaVolt EV chargers

Electric vehicle (EV) drivers in Blackfen can now enjoy fast and reliable charging on their doorstep, thanks to a new EV charging hub launched today by InstaVolt.

The site, installed next to the local Co-op store, includes six ultra-rapid chargers and also marks a significant milestone – InstaVolt’s 2,000th charger installation across the UK.

Located just off the busy A2 the new hub provides easy access for local residents, commuters, and visitors.

Its presence is a major boost to EV infrastructure in the borough, especially for those without off-street parking who rely on public charging.

Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, said: “We’re proud to bring this new site to Blackfen and to mark our 2,000th charger installation right here in the heart of a vibrant, residential community helping locals switch to cleaner, greener travel.

“Our focus is on installing and operating world class, ultra-rapid chargers in great locations for the benefit of the UK’s 1.4 million (and growing) electric vehicle drivers.

“With 11,000 chargers planned by 2030, we’re making it easier than ever for drivers to make the switch to electric.”

This location has been carefully chosen to support drivers who live in high-density neighbourhoods, without the ability to charge at home.

Its position near key routes like the A2, M25, and Bluewater Shopping Centre also makes it an ideal stop for those travelling in and out of East London.

Owning and operating 13% of all public rapid chargers in the UK*, InstaVolt is leading the way in developing the infrastructure to support the adoption of an electric future. Their pioneering approach ensures the company remains at the forefront of the EV infrastructure revolution.

This investment aligns with national goals to expand EV charging access and reduce transport emissions. All InstaVolt charging points use 100% renewable energy and are accessible 24/7 via contactless card or app, with no subscription required.
