Rapid electric charging station opens in Dorset

Eight rapid charging stations are located at Hyde Farm, Pimperne.

These latest additions bring the first InstaVolt EV charging hub to the Blandford area.

With plans to install 10,000 rapid chargers by 2030, InstaVolt currently has more than 1,200 chargers across the country.

There are now more than 780,000 EVs on Britain’s roads and with new models coming onto the market, consumers have never had a bigger or more affordable choice of vehicle.

Charging infrastructure is increasing to match demand as more people make the switch to electric vehicles, with 550 rapid chargers installed last month alone.

Adrian Keen, the CEO of InstaVolt said: “We’re delighted to bring our award-winning rapid chargers to Blandford Forum, with class-leading reliability of more than 99.9% and installations of two or more chargers at many sites.

"EV drivers can be confident that when they arrive at Glenavon Farm, they’ll find an easy to use charger, with on-site driver amenities, without having to queue.”

He added: “With an extensive, fully nationwide network, EV drivers are never far away from an InstaVolt rapid charger. When embarking on a long journey, just a little bit of route planning in advance using search engines or a dedicated App for charging points like ZapMap or InstaVolt’s own App, makes life easier. And while you recharge your EV, recharge yourself: stretch your legs and enjoy a coffee or bite to eat from one of our on-site partners.”
