Shrewsbury charging site back online with CableGuard™ anti-theft technology
Located just off Welshpool Road, Bicton Heath, our Shrewsbury site is back online after recent cable damage and is now part of InstaVolt’s growing list of sites protected by CableGuard™.
What is CableGuard™?
A high-strength cable sleeve that, if interfered with, releases a forensic liquid that glows under UV light and is traceable to a specific location. This makes it a powerful deterrent and supports law enforcement in tracking and prosecuting offenders.
This charging site is now fully restored and more secure, offering the same trusted convenience EV drivers expect from InstaVolt. With 6 ultra-rapid chargers, an accessible bay and an on-site Co-op, you can shop or grab essentials while your car charges.
Cable theft is a crime that causes inconvenience for drivers and significant repair costs for infrastructure providers – we have been proactively rolling out this technology across theft-prone hotspots throughout the UK.
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.
Visit Shrewsbury today for secure, ultra-rapid charging with the peace of mind that comes with CableGuard™ protection.
