InstaVolt reopens Stockton-on-Tees Charging Site with enhanced cable theft protection

EV drivers in Stockton-on-Tees can now charge with confidence following the reopening of InstaVolt’s charging site at Mill House, now equipped with the latest CableGuard™ anti-theft technology.

Located just off the A19, the site is back online after cable damage recently and its now part of InstaVolt’s growing list of sites protected by CableGuard™.

CableGuard™ is a high-strength cable sleeve made from a flexible, tamper-resistant material. If interfered with, it releases a forensic liquid that glows under UV light and is traceable to a specific location through a police-accessible database. This makes it a powerful deterrent and supports law enforcement in tracking and prosecuting offenders.

InstaVolt first introduced CableGuard™ in April 2025 as part of its nationwide strategy to combat cable theft – a crime that causes inconvenience for drivers and significant repair costs for infrastructure providers. Since then, the technology has been rolled out across theft-prone hotspots.

This Stockton-on-Tees site is now fully restored and more secure, offering the same trusted convenience EV drivers expect from InstaVolt. With on-site amenities such as a Starbucks, you can stop and recharge yourself while your car is plugged in. This site is also well located for driving in and out of town to run errands, getting to appointments at the local hospitals or on your daily commute.

As the UK’s largest ultra-rapid charging network, InstaVolt remains committed to investing in innovation, security and service – ensuring drivers can rely on safe, sustainable and uninterrupted charging, wherever the road takes them.
