Mixed feelings of St Mellion
Having used the chargers at St Mellion estate, Saltash, Cornwall over the past few days, it was dissapointing to see bays occupied by vehicles that were still connected to the chargers, but no owners were to be seen, also, bays had ICE vehicles in them, again, no owners to be seen. This makes a mockery of the availability of chargers showing in the app! Surely St Mellion staff should police this and issue fines for misuse.
Luckily, I have managed to find an available bay on my recent visits this week, and the charge was excellent!
Charging station at Friday Street Farm shop
Convenient location next to a farm shop and good cafe adjacent to the A12 near Friston; the technology worked, no problems unlike at a rival operator.

Don’t use or ring Instavolt
On Tuesday 14 July, I had an hour to charge my car, in between my jobs. I had a few errands I needed to do in Wylde Green before I went to work, After work I was driving from Birmingham to Stafford and only had less than 40 miles range left on my car, so I went to use the Instavolt charger at The Lanes in Wylde Green. After about 15 minutes of the charger not working, I rang the customer service number, this was not helpful at all, I explained that I had tried to charge my car and nothing happened, thst 2 credit card authorisations had been been placed on my credit card. The female advisor didn’t know how to help or what to do, in short she said she would contact Technical Team but no one ever rang me back, the first time I asked her to transfer me to a Manager she transferred me to The AA BREAKDOWN? Then I rang back and asked her about the app and how I charge and she said she didn’t know but would look at the manual? I then asked her to transfer me to a manager and the call was cut off . I then rang back and spoke to Nicole who I can only describe as rude, unhelpful and not what a customer agent should conduct herself on the phone. I explained about her previous colleague and she said we only get 1 day training, I asked how she can rectify the situation as now Im running late for work abd still not got my car charged… I asked her if she could talk me thru using the app as I thought maybe that might work and get my car charging? Nicole’s response was, I don’t have an ev charger, I don’t know how to use the app, we use a different system in the office and I can’t help you! I asked to speak to a Manager and she said there were no Managers in the country that I could speak too? She said she worked for a 3rd party call centre and didn’t work for Instavolt and the only thing I could do was to send in a complaint by email! What is the point of having a customer service call centre if you can’t get assistance there and then? I then asked Nicole for her name and the company she worked for? She gave me her name and refused to let me know which company she worked for? She then said when I asked again that she was terminating the call. I can honestly say this whole episode was an ordeal, all I wanted to do was to charge up my car for my journey later on in the evening after work. I explained that I work in the EV Charging Installation sector and we as a company would never speak to any of our customers this way. Thankfully I will be having my home charger installed next week and will not use the Instsvolt chargers again. I am one very unhappy customer, I do hope that all your calls are recorded for training and that someone from Instavolt listens to how the agents from their 3rd party call centres deal with customers. I would consider a different call centre company and recommend that further training be provided in the use of apps and customer service.

Locked me out of my account and prevented me from charging because I was 2p overdrawn -had to wait 30 minutes on the phone to sort it out with a baby crying in the back of the car. Thanks, made our holiday really nice.

£100 parking fine for using the Southampton (Tollbar Way / Hedge End) charger — avoid this trap.
I used the InstaVolt charger at Southampton – Tollbar Way, Hedge End and ended up with a £100 parking fine simply for charging my car. I didn’t see a single clear sign warning that you can be fined while paying InstaVolt for a charging session. And judging by other reviews, I’m far from the only one — this location is catching people out again and again.
What’s worse is that InstaVolt clearly knows this is happening. Multiple customers have complained about the exact same issue, yet nothing has been fixed. No improved signage, no warnings in the app, no notice on the charger page — nothing. It feels like they simply don’t mind their customers being fined, as long as they can blame a “third‑party parking operator” afterwards.
If a charging point repeatedly results in £100 penalties for genuine paying customers, that’s not an accident — that’s a set‑up that InstaVolt chooses not to fix.
This location is a trap.
Avoid the Southampton / Hedge End InstaVolt charger unless you want a £100 surprise in the post.

Couldn't Charge My Seat Mii At KFC Handsworth Sheffield
I tried to charge my Seat Mii at an instavolt rapid charger having only had my car three weeks and used the 7kw charger at the local park and ride. On two initial attempts I used the tap and go method and on both of these it started to charge then stopped abruptly of it's own accord after just a minute or so. (Admittedly, on my first attempt I opened the door straight after starting to charge as I'd left something I needed in the car!) I then switched to the charging station next to it and tried again. After my third unsuccessful attempt at this port I rang customer services. The gentleman struggled to find my location as he was asking me for a non-existent charge location number on a machine that didn't have one. I kept repeating the location - KFC Handsworth - until eventually he found it. He then talked me through the same process which had failed previously and when I appeared to be up and running he politely but wearily ended the call. Unfortunately it stopped charging as soon as he had put the phone down. I rang back and got another call handler who asked me for the same non-existent location number - and they could only continue if I went into Greggs to get the postcode. She then could only associate it with a charger in a completely different part of Sheffield (I checked the postcode Gregg's had given me and it was correct for where I was.) She then found where I was and put me on hold to speak to a technician before coming back to tell me it must be a fault with my car's battery not wanting to charge too rapidly.
In a mild but justified panic I drove to Rotherham services and used one of their fast charging Applegreen chargers which worked fine - despite being a more aggressive 400kw supply as opposed to the failed Instavolt's 250KW. (Then I couldn't get myself a starbuck's as my bank had blocked my debit card due to the dodgy appearance of all my Instavolt payments!)
This was a very disappointing experience for a new EV owner and I would appreciate some guidance and encouragement for going forward.

Disappointed and waiting on service query
Used for first time
£45 pre auth taken from bank
Spent £24 on a charge
Then the day after the £45 charged changed and added on the £24
So loads gone from my bank.
Email CS and had a response, sent details but no reply bk.
This is not acceptable and turn around time on service queries not good either.
Depending on outcome, I wont be in a rush to use this service again.

Instant redress from InstAvolt
I had a very poor experience with InstaVolt a few days ago and left a review about it. InstaVolt immediately contacted me, asked for more information and investigated my complaint. They have got back to me again and explained the situation and made some redress.
I think that is worth celebrating with a positive review!

Double charge!
First time using today. Looked easy enough. Paying by card and there are 3 instructions. 1) tap card 2) plug in and charge 3) tap card again to finish transaction. Easy enough!!!!! 1) Tapped card and £45 taken from card -fair enough they have to make sure they get their money. 2) plugged in and charged away…. Very quick, happy days!!!’ 3) tapped card to finalise payment )as instructed) and ANOTHER £45 taken….. not happy!….. only spent £20 so now to wait for £70 to be returned to my account….. wonder how much interest they make on payments like this???

Cost is extortionate almost 90ppkwh. How can they justify this when equivalent companies charge far less for rapid chargers. Won’t be using again. Literally highway robbery. Far cheaper options available.

***AVOID***
Blames car and weather for slow charges. No errors with their machines apprently.... Never had this issue with any other company.......
Apprently you dont pay for the speed of the charger.
So they can offer you 48-50kw on a 160kw charger at top prices.
Never had issues with any other companies fast charging. Seems very strange..........
Thats 1 customer lost. Thats not how you build a customer base.
***UPDATE***
I had already given you this information, but my car was the issue apprently. No other issue with any other companies chargers only instavolt.
Please listen to your recorded calls.

£45 pre auth!!
£45 pre auth!!! Wtf. Excessive to say the least. Charging worked well but pricey and painful on the bank.
Rented an EV in Cumbria and every other charging point had £10-£25 pre auth and I was doing £10 charges just to give my rental enough juice to make the next stop along my way. It's also the fault of the Citroen EV I had with a poor battery capacity and my own timing restrictions as I travelled but £45 pre auth really??? All the other ones (x3), BE.ev (£25 pre auth), Tesla supercharger (£20 pre auth) and Gridserve at Southwaite services (£10 pre auth) all resolved my actual payment within seconds after finishing charging. NOT Instavolt?! Still waiting for £35 back against a £10 charge on a £45 pre auth. AVOID IF YOU'RE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME AND DON'T HAVE UNLIMITED MONEY TO WORK WITH!! find your nearest alternative.
Instavolt, reduce your pre-auth in line with other companies or bring the timely resolution in line and not 5-10 working days as per your website. Wth are you thinking?

Visited InstaVolt in Whitehaven today for the first time and had a great experience. I bumped into Danny, who clearly works for InstaVolt, as I was a bit unsure about the process and asked for some help. He was excellent—very helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to get everything sorted for me. Danny is a real credit to InstaVolt. Thanks again for the support; I’ll definitely be using their charging facilities again.
