Britain’s largest and ‘most advanced’ electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging station has opened. Located near the junction of the A34 with the M3, the new InstaVolt Superhub in Winchester, Hampshire, offers 44 ultrafast chargers, toilets and a Starbucks.

Initiator InstaVolt from Basingstoke calls the new Superhub “the fast-charging station of the future” and offers everything in charging that is possible. Thus, all electric vehicles can charge there: cars, vans and e-trucks. As many as 44 160 kW ultra fast chargers should get visitors back on track with a quick recharge. Large vehicles and trucks with trailers can use extra large charging stations. In addition, the InstaVolt Superhub offers a range of services to make your stay more pleasant while charging. These include toilets open 24/7, a Starbucks coffee café with seating, a playground and dog walking area.

Sustainable

Besides convenience and service, sustainability is at the heart of the huge charging area. InstaVolt has linked its own solar energy with battery storage there for the first time. 870 solar panels and a 4 MWh battery ensure that the chargers run on solar power. The UK grid also contributes a bit of power, but much less than usual. Deliberately, because Britain also suffers from grid congestion. The Superhub therefore offers chargers two tariffs, with charging being cheaper at times when power is also cheaper and local demand is lower.
