Schools are back but our EV charging still fits around your day!
The summer holidays might be over, the schools are back and there’s already a hint of autumn in the air, but busy family life certainly hasn’t slowed down.
The school run is back and there are always those everyday trips to pick up a few essentials, meet someone for coffee or get everything sorted for the weekend ahead.
At InstaVolt, we believe EV charging should fit around those everyday moments rather than become another job on the to-do list.
Across our network, InstaVolt chargers are conveniently located alongside a wide range of food, drink, shopping and leisure destinations. It means charging can become part of something you were already planning to do.
That might mean plugging in after the school run and heading into grab a drink with the kids, picking up some shopping while the car charges, or simply taking a few minutes out of a busy day for a break. And as the days become shorter and routines change with the seasons, having the flexibility to charge when it suits you becomes even more important.
Our charging sites are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so whether you need to top up early in the morning, after the school run, on the way home from work or later in the evening, reliable ultra-rapid charging is there when you need it.
For drivers who can be flexible about when they charge, the free InstaVolt app also gives access to our 55p off-peak rate between 8pm and 7am. It’s ideal for an evening top-up or an early-morning charge before the day gets underway.
So while the long summer road trips might be behind us for another year, there are still plenty of reasons to get out and about. From coffee and shopping stops to family days out and the everyday school run, InstaVolt makes it easier to fit reliable ultra-rapid EV charging into real life.
Whatever autumn brings, simply plug in, take a break and let us take care of the charge while you get on with your day.
