Over the last ten years InstaVolt has activated 2,600 rapid chargers across 900 sites in the UK
InstaVolt has secured £250 million in committed debt financing to support the expansion of its rapid EV charging network across the UK and Ireland, in one of the largest deals of its kind in the CPO market.
The facility was oversubscribed and backed by a consortium of lenders including Close Brothers, Investec, KfW IPEX-Bank, Lloyds, National Wealth Fund, NatWest, Rabobank, Santander and Société Générale.
Since its founding in 2016, InstaVolt has activated 2,600 rapid chargers across 900 sites in the UK, with a further 1,100 chargers currently under construction.
The new financing will fund the rollout of additional sites, ongoing network maintenance and investment in technologies including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
"This refinancing marks a major milestone for InstaVolt and for EV charging infrastructure in the UK," said Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt. "The significant interest and confidence from our lending partners reflects the strength of our network, the quality of our operations and the continued momentum behind the EV market."
The funding will also support continued investment in network reliability and the long-term driver experience as public EV charging demand grows across the UK.
