Had a problem connecting to Instavolt charger at Sostice Park yesterday. Tried three times, and it accepted my card and connected, but timed out each time and would not charge. Phoned helpline who said it was a problem sometimes with MG. Then tried another charger and used my Electroverse card...

I’ve wasted 4 hours in 2 occasions this month trying to use InstaVolt charging stations. There’s a compatibility issue with MG ZS. It just cuts out. I tried several different cards and had long conversations with them. Use at your peril.

Hi I've been an ev driver for 3 years using public rapid chargers ocasionally on long trips Recently on instavolt it accepted my card & asked if I was ok with £45 deposit to which I pressed yes & was then instructed to swipe or wave my card. After nothing had happened for a minute or 2 I started...

Popped home to North Wales over the weekend to visit my mum. 270 miles each way. On the outbound leg we charged at the Stafford Ionity chargers, 6 units at that location, three free but one was off-line. Arrived with 18% charge (I'd forgotten to set charge to long trip mode the night before so...

Were only ever used public charging twice so not much experience myself. Did you try with the doors locked?

I have used the Instavolt Rapid Charger many times since it opened at a local McDonalds. Today for the first time it failed to read my card. Interestingly the same thing happened to the other Instavolt Charger next to me. Rang the number supplied and the issue was resolved very quickly as I also...

Just a quick note. I don't travel long distances much. Recently went on a couple of days travelling. Zap-Map, electric universe, shell etc I have it all. However, what came as a surprise was that most McDonalds have InstaVolt fast chargers and they all worked. Rather than ask for EV charging...

Anyone else with an iPhone and seemingly cannot ever “slide to charge” on the Instavolt app? Anyone found the fix? Removing and install doesn’t work so it is not a missing permission issue I think.

Has anyone else had problems charging at Instavolt station? Have spent the last hour trying to charge at Banbury charging station. Tried four different chargers and assisted by Instavolt helpline but everyone stopped charging immediately after starting. The help person finally said it must be...

I have an MG LR and on more than one occasion I have an issue with Instavolt chargers. The latest today is the charge starts and then immediately stops. I was at McDonalds Burntwood and I got the same issue on both the chargers there. Didn't matter if I used a card or the app the exact same...

Wow. Prohibitively expensive, I would say.

Zs ev Long range Trophy. Saturday long trip. This is a strange one, InstaVolt chargers who seems to be spot on with charging and pricing caused two issues at 2 different chargers. Contactless with credit card starts the machine, at this time the car is locked and plug locked in. Now these...

Hi folks. This morning I have just spotted two new Instavolt rapid chargers are in the process of being installed at the McDonalds site West bound on the A55 expressway into North Wales. The rapids are fully installed, but they have covers over them. They are currently cutting a cable trench...

From May 4th prices will be 57p/kWh. I will be charging elsewhere.

Just spotted this on the Zap Map news letter and though it maybe of some interest to EV owners travelling on route towards Bala and the surrounding Welsh beauty spots !. A welcome change for North Wales to get rapids installed in a relatively rural area...

Increase in pricing from 45p/kWh to 50p/kWh across the network, effective from 22 February 2022 Decision comes in response to the continued rise of wholesale energy costs As a consequence of the continued rise in wholesale energy costs, we are announcing a price increase across all chargers...

Just received an email from InstaVolt detailing a price rise of their rapid charging network. The price goes up from 40p per kWh to 45p per kWh, effective immediately. I expect others to follow suit to join those networks that have already increased their rates.
