EV drivers can now save even more on charging, thanks to InstaVolt’s newly extended off-peak hours.

As of 4th February, drivers can access the cheaper rate of just 54p per kWh between 9pm and 7am, providing two extra hours to take advantage of off-peak pricing.

The move means drivers using the InstaVolt App can power up for significantly less without compromising on speed, reliability, or convenience.

Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, said: “We’re always listening to our customers, and they told us they wanted off-peak pricing to start earlier and finish later.

“By extending our off-peak window, we’ve made it even easier for drivers to access cheaper charging, whether they’re finishing work, setting off early, or simply looking to cut costs.

“We hope that by making public charging as affordable and accessible as possible it will encourage more drivers to make the switch to electric.”

The extension of off-peak hours comes at a time of record-breaking EV adoption. According to Zapmap, by the end of December 2024, there were over 1.36 million fully electric cars on UK roads.

In 2024 alone, more than 380,000 new EVs were registered, representing 19.6% of all new car sales, the highest annual total yet and a 21% increase from 2023.

As EV ownership continues to grow, InstaVolt remains committed to providing a fast, reliable, and cost-effective public charging network for drivers who don’t have access to home charging.

InstaVolt is also continuously expanding its network of ultra-rapid charging hubs, with the Winchester Superhub set to open in March 2025.

Located near the A34 and close to the M3, the site will feature 44 ultra-rapid chargers, making it InstaVolt’s largest superhub to date.

Designed for convenience and sustainability, the Winchester Superhub will include dedicated bays for larger vehicles and those towing, on-site solar panels and battery storage to reduce reliance on the grid, a new café and 24/7 toilet facilities for driver comfort, and a dedicated dog-walking area and children’s play park.

By integrating on-site renewable energy generation and storage, the superhub represents a major step forward in supporting sustainable EV infrastructure.

With nearly 2,000 rapid chargers now live across the UK, InstaVolt continues to invest in expanding its award-winning network and supporting the UK’s transition to electric driving. Drivers can download the InstaVolt App to take advantage of extended off-peak savings today.
