Unlike many other charging stations, drivers don’t need to have a card or subscription to use the InstaVolt stations; they simply tap their contactless credit or debit card, charge up and get back on the road. Users are charged only for the electricity they use on a per-unit basis. There is no connection fee, minimum charge or monthly subscription fee.
“Sales of electric cars are on the rise and we’re really seeing that reflected on the ground here in Manchester” said James Shepherd, Estates Director at Dransfield Properties, which owns and manages Lime Square. “We’re delighted to be able to offer shoppers this new service. They’ll find the InstaVolt chargers very fast and easy to use.”
Tim Payne, CEO of InstaVolt, added that as more and more people drive electric vehicles, having a network of places where they can charge up en route, such as shopping centres, will be incredibly important.
