InstaVolt introduces off-peak pricing across the UK
Published on: Aug 26, 2024
Customers will be able to access electricity for almost a third of its price across more than 1,600 rapid chargers.
InstaVolt is introducing off-peak pricing across its electric vehicle (EV) charging network to encourage motorists to take advantage of cheaper electricity.
From Sunday 1st September, drivers will be able to charge for 54p per kWh, between the hours of 10pm and 6am across the company’s footprint of more than 1,600 rapid chargers. This represents a discount of over a third off the regular price of 85p per kWh.
The lower off-peak rate is being introduced initially to InstaVolt App users and will be extended to contactless users before the end of the year as the technology is developed.
“We’ve brought off-peak pricing in across our network ahead of our planned schedule as we wanted to offer this excellent price before we go into the colder months, giving InstaVolt users this saving now. Charging during our off-peak hours will create a significant reduction for customers ahead of this rise. Our new tariff will have the benefit of offering motorists who can’t charge at home a cheaper rate of electricity,” said Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt.
Further advances are being made to support variable pricing solutions, including additional time-of-day and regional pricing.
InstaVolt’s chargers are powered using 100% renewable energy and the company is continually pushing the innovation of its sites. This includes the upcoming Winchester superhub, which is using battery storage to take advantage of peak energy production.
