InstaVolt – the UK’s largest public ultra-rapid charging network – has completed the next major phase of its nationwide upgrade programme across Penny Petroleum forecourt sites in the North of England.
Older units have been replaced by faster, reliable chargers, capable of delivering up to 120kW of ultra-rapid charging. These upgrades support growing EV demand, and deliver a consistently smooth and efficient experience for all drivers.
As part of InstaVolt’s commitment to making charging more inclusive, fully accessible charging bays have been installed at five key Penny Petroleum locations: Hopwood Service Station, Durham Road Filling Station, Grandstand Services, Meadowfield Filling Station, and Thornton Services. These improvements are designed to ensure that more drivers can access ultra-rapid charging with ease and confidence.
In addition, several sites across the Penny Petroleum portfolio have benefitted from widened and realigned parking bays, enhancing manoeuvrability and making it simpler for all drivers to use the network – including those with larger vehicles.
While continuing to scale at pace across the UK, InstaVolt remains equally committed to investing in the quality and consistency of existing sites.
InstaVolt CEO Delvin Lane said: “We’re upgrading sites nationwide to make charging even easier, quicker and more accessible. Older units have been replaced with faster BYD120 chargers and improved bay layouts. We’re ensuring every InstaVolt site meets the same high standards drivers rely on – quick and easy charging available 24/7 and powered by 100% renewable energy.”
This latest phase of the multi-million pound upgrade programme is part of InstaVolt’s ongoing investment in modern, user-friendly infrastructure that supports the UK’s transition to electric vehicles.
