Simple EV charging in Scotland

We don’t want to over complicate your life.

By following just three easy steps, your EV will be plugged in and charging before you can say: “I’ll have a regular, non-fat, decaf, sugar-free, caramel macchiato”.

With InstaVolt rapid chargers, all you have to do is:

1. Tap your contactless card or use the app to begin – you’ll find no subscription or connection fees here!
2. Insert the correct cable to begin charging your EV – just hit start and our chargers will do the rest!
3. Once you’re happy with your level of charge, simply hit the stop button, remove the cable, and – as they say in Scotland – haste ye back!

A vision for the future

In January 2022, the Scottish Government published its draft vision statement, calling for the development of an accessible, affordable and reliable public EV charging network that would support Scotland’s transition towards a net-zero transport system.

Therefore, whether you’re travelling from Dumfries to Edinburgh or Glasgow to Aberdeen, the InstaVolt network is here to support the people of Scotland in achieving this goal and making the future a greener, healthier place to live, work and play.
