In a game-changing move for the UK’s EV infrastructure, InstaVolt has officially launched its largest ultra-rapid charging Superhub—a facility equipped with 44 ultra-rapid chargers, each boasting a power output of up to 160kW. But this isn’t just another charging station; it’s a blueprint for the future, integrating renewable energy, high-speed charging, and a driver-friendly ecosystem.

Nestled in the historic city of Winchester, the Superhub sits at a prime junction near the A34 and M3—two major arteries in southern England. This strategic placement ensures easy access for long-haul drivers, commuters, and fleet operators.

Beyond its impressive scale, the Superhub caters to various vehicles. The drive-through bays are ideal for larger vehicles and towing setups, extra-long van bays accommodate commercial users, and dedicated accessible charging spaces ensure inclusivity. Efficiency meets convenience in a layout designed for the evolving needs of EV owners.

Solar-Powered Innovation: A First for InstaVolt

Breaking new ground, the Winchester Superhub is InstaVolt’s first to feature an on-site solar farm. This powerful 500kW system seamlessly integrates with two battery energy storage units, collectively holding 960kW/4MWh capacity. This intelligent energy setup allows the hub to operate on a blend of self-generated solar power, battery storage, and renewable grid energy, reinforcing InstaVolt’s commitment to sustainability.

“The Winchester Superhub isn’t just a charging hub – it’s a flagship site that sets a new standard for ultra-rapid EV charging,” said Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt.

“As our largest and most advanced site to date, it delivers industry-leading reliability at an unprecedented scale, ensuring drivers can charge quickly and with confidence.

“This site is also a milestone in innovation, marking our first-ever location where we are generating our own renewable energy – pushing the boundaries of sustainability and self-sufficiency in EV charging.

“Above all, we are redefining what EV drivers can expect when they charge, seamless, ultra-rapid, and future-proofed charging that makes the switch to electric easier, faster, and more accessible than ever before.”

Charging an EV isn’t just about plugging in—the experience. InstaVolt understands this, so the Winchester Superhub is designed to be a destination, not just a pit stop.

• A dedicated on-site Starbucks offers drivers a place to recharge while their vehicles do the same.

• 24/7 toilet facilities ensure comfort at any hour.

• A dog walking area and park with play equipment allow two- and four-legged passengers to stretch and unwind.

Security and ease of use are at the heart of the Superhub’s design. State-of-the-art CCTV surveillance, low-level LED lighting, and continuous monitoring ensure safety around the clock. A dedicated air and water machine enables drivers to maintain their vehicles while charging and surrounding tree-lined barriers create a natural, eco-friendly aesthetic.

With its blend of high-speed charging, renewable energy integration, and user-focused amenities, the Winchester Superhub represents a new era for EV charging in the UK. It’s not just about adding more chargers—it’s about rethinking the entire charging experience.

For InstaVolt, this is just the beginning. As the UK accelerates toward electrification, this Superhub is a beacon for what’s possible—where sustainability, innovation, and driver comfort intersect.
