InstaVolt Summer Special offers up big charging discount

Ultra-rapid charging specialist InstaVolt has announced a “Summer Special” discount on charging at its flagship Superhub.

From May until August 31, 2025, any driver using the brand’s Winchester Superhub will be able to take advantage of a reduced rate of 54p/kWh – a 38% saving on the regular 87p/kWh rate. Drivers using the InstaVolt app or payment card will enjoy an even bigger discount, paying just 50p/kWh.

The operator says that it is offering the Summer Special rate as it maximises the benefit of the on-site solar panel array over the coming months. The Winchester site is InstaVolt’s largest location to date and features 44 160kW chargers powered by renewable energy including that supplied by the 870 solar panels and a 4MWh battery storage system.

Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, commented: “With the summer holidays fast approaching, and thanks to the innovative onsite solar-to-battery technology system installed, we’re proud to offer a special rate at our Winchester Superhub to help EV drivers power their journeys for less.

“This initiative reflects our commitment to making rapid charging both accessible and affordable, while delivering the quality experience InstaVolt is known for.”

The site, located near the busy A34 and close to the M3 has 44 accessible, ultra-rapid chargers and an onsite Starbucks café, children’s play area and dedicated dog walking zone.

Prior to the summer discount, InstVolt was offering a special launch charging rate at the Winchester hub, with prices from 54p/kWh.

When the Summer Special offer ends at 7pm on August 31, charging rates will return to the regular prices. Contactless payments and those through roaming partners such as Corpay and Octopus Electroverse will revert to 87p/kWh, while for InstVolt RFID or app customers the prices will revert to 65p/kWh at peak times (7am-7pm) and 50p/kWh at off-peak (7pm-7am).
