CHAdeMO Charging on the InstaVolt Network
As the UK’s electric vehicle market continues to grow, so does the variety of vehicles on the road. While CCS connectors are the standard for ultra-rapid charging, thousands of EV drivers still rely on CHAdeMO every day. We believe charging should be simple and accessible for every EV driver, whatever connector their vehicle uses. That’s why, if you drive a CHAdeMO compatible EV, you can continue to rely on InstaVolt whenever you need to charge.
CHAdeMO remains an important part of the InstaVolt network, helping drivers of compatible vehicles charge quickly and conveniently across the UK.
All our existing charging locations feature both CHAdeMO and CCS connectors, and every new site currently in development will include CHAdeMO charging. This ensures drivers can continue to access ultra-rapid charging as our network expands.
Electric vehicle ownership doesn’t change overnight. Many drivers keep their EVs for years, meaning thousands of CHAdeMO compatible vehicles are still used every day for commuting, business travel and longer journeys across the UK. While manufacturers have largely moved towards CCS for new models, maintaining access to CHAdeMO charging remains an important part of supporting today’s EV drivers, not just tomorrow’s.
Our investment in a broad range of charging options reflects our commitment to supporting the diverse mix of electric vehicles on UK roads. Whether you’ve been driving electric for years or have only recently made the switch, we’re focused on providing a reliable charging experience that meets your needs.
Finding a compatible charger is easy. Simply use the InstaVolt app to locate your nearest charging site, check available connector types, and plan your journey with confidence using the latest live network information.
As our network continues to grow, we’re committed to maintaining dependable charging options for as many drivers as possible, making it easier to travel wherever the road takes you.
