They changed off-peak pricing again without prior warning. Of course up. EXCLUSIVE app price 0.89/kWh is truly "exclusive". Charging speed is very disappointing and absolute darkness at charging stations (need to use phones flashlight to connect cable. Horrible company.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by both the charging speed and the lack of lighting at our station. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when charging in darker conditions.
Due to the continued rise in energy and supply costs, we have made the difficult decision to increase our prices to £0.89 per kWh (standard) and £0.60 per kWh during off-peak hours (8pm–7am). We understand that price increases are never welcome, we’ve done our best to minimise the impact and remain committed to offering great value. We will always continue to review costs closely, and whenever it is possible to pass savings back to our customers, we will do so.
Your feedback regarding lighting and charging performance has been passed to our Operations team for review, as we’re always looking to improve the safety and reliability of our network.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts — we really appreciate it. Kind regards, the InstaVolt team.

Hello Harry,
Thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear that you’ve received a parking fine whilst using our chargers at Pavilion Square
Unfortunately, the parking restrictions are managed by a 3rd party, which means that the existing parking restrictions still apply to customers even when using our charging stations. Our signage in between the chargers states that existing parking restrictions still apply, and this is also outlined on the app. There should also be signage installed by the car park operators that details the specific restrictions.
Having said this, we appreciate the inconvenience caused by this fine and can create a proof of charge document that you can use to help with your appeal. If you would like us to provide this for you please can you provide the time, date and cost of your charging session, and a copy of the fine if possible to info@instavolt.co.uk.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team

Hello Darren,
Thank you for your feedback regarding your payment query.
When you initiate a charge via a card, a pre-authorisation fee of £15.00 or £45.00 (depending on the charger model) will be reserved on your card. This will be taken each time you tap your card to try to start a charge and is intended to validate the payment card and ensure that sufficient funds exist to complete a transaction. Depending on who you bank with you may see these as pending transactions or they will appear to have been taken from your account.
If the charge was successful, the pre-authorisation amount will be cancelled and replaced with the actual amount you were charged for the electricity received. If your charge was unsuccessful, the amount will be returned automatically. All pre-authorisation amounts are released automatically by InstaVolt; depending on who you bank with, it may take 5-10 working days (or sooner) to reflect this.
If you use our chargers regularly and would like to work around the pre-authorisation fees, you could download our app and use it to start a charging session. As your payment card is already authenticated on the app, no pre-authorisation fees get taken when you charge via this method.
We do hope the this helps and if you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know at info@instavolt.co.uk.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team

£20 to change my card?
Until now I've always found it easy (if a bit expensive) to charge with Instavolt using the app. Now, though, my card has expired, and for some reason Instavolt wants to charge me £20 to change my card. I guess I'd get this back when I charge again, but there's no guarantee I'll be using their chargers again. So that's goodbye to the Instavolt app from me.
In response to your reply: There is absolutely no need to debit £20 from the linked bank account to verify a payment card. That's just ludicrous and frankly a bit scammy. Your chargers are fine and work well, as does your app, so I don't understand why you'd want to engage in such petty money grabbing. It's really disappointing behaviour.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your feedback regarding your payment query.
Please note, that when you add a payment card to a credit account on the app, £20.00 is taken from your linked bank account to validate your payment card. If you haven’t used the account to charge in over a month, you’ll need to re-validate the card by authorising a £1.00 transaction.
Validation amounts are then added to your app account balance and will be automatically put towards the cost of your charging session, or you can withdraw them back to your bank account by going into ‘payment’ and then ‘Withdraw Funds’.
We hope this helps and if you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know at info@instavolt.co.uk.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team

The problem I have is that the parking…
The problem I have is that the parking spaces are too small and my car has to be parked backwards which makes it extremely hard for me to get to the charging area and the payment machine.
I am disabled and although I can walk a bit I have to use a walking frame which means it is extremely difficult to get to the machine to pay. I feel unsteady because the machine is up a step which I struggle with. If anyone needed to charge their car and they were confined to a wheelchair they would not be able to do it and not everyone needs a carer. Some people want to remain to independent .
Another problem is the plug in cable is extremely heavy and difficult to move. I don’t have anybody who can charge the car for me as my family live abroad and my housing association won’t let me have a charger at home as the cable needs to cross a path and I can’t afford to pay for that so I have to use a public charger. The one I use is a shops car park and the charging stations are the fur to heat away they could possibly be which again makes it a hard walk for the disabled.

Good afternoon,
We are sorry to hear you experienced difficulties charging with us and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.
As a business we are aware of the challenges that some of the current charging infrastructure creates with regards to accessibility. We’re taking our responsibility seriously and have a dedicated InstaVolt Accessibility Team who are reviewing sites at design stage, to ensure accessibility provisions are added where possible. Where feasible, InstaVolt are actioning many changes across the network, including updated designs to provide additional space around charger bays, removal of wheel stops for future sites and an updated charger design that includes lower screens/ payment terminals and a new cable management system for easier manoeuvrability. These changes are taking effect across the network now and can be seen in recent site activations.
Whilst we are always looking to improve our network offering, there are other challenges we have to consider, such as landowners space allocation, where there is insufficient space to provide wider charging bays. Whilst there is no straight forward answer, we are continuing to explore all options to make charging more accessible where we face these constraints.
Please feel free to stay in touch with us on this matter, and if we can provide any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@instavolt.co.uk.
Kind regards, The InstaVolt Team

Thank you for your review, we do apologise for the inconvenience you experienced at Marshalls Yard.
We have recently upgraded thee model of charger at this site, which would explain the issues that occurred during your visit. The charger is currently available and has been operating as usual since your visit with sessions since. However, we will continue to monitor the station, in case we receive further reports that could suggest a potential problem that needs further investigation.
Thank you for taking the time to report this to us and if you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.

Expensive and largely useless
I use so many different chargers but predominantly Tesla Super Chargers. They are a breeze and most others are too but InstaVolt is always a problem. The customers services isn’t much better. It’s just pot luck if you get one that’s working and then if it is it’s so overpriced I should just take a taxi everywhere.
My advice, use IONITY, Tesla or any other one really.

The InstaVolt app is very easy to use
The InstaVolt app is very easy to use, and using the charger was even simpler. I gave it 4 stars because it seems that the promotions and lower prices are primarily available for wealthier individuals in the South, while those of us in the North have to pay more.

Hi Max, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to hear that you find the app and chargers easy to use. Our Summer promotions are available at certain sites across the country, however you can take advantage of our Off Peak pricing on the app between 8pm-7am. This is across the entirety of our Network and allows customers to charge at a lower rate of £0.54 per kWh. We hope to see you on the Network again soon. Kind regards, the InstaVolt team.

Hi Stewart, thank you for your review. We're so sorry to hear about the issues you faced when trying to charge. When a customer starts a charging session using a bank card, a £45.00 pre-authorisation fee is temporarily held to validate the payment method. This is automatically released by InstaVolt but can sometimes take longer for the your bank to process these. It can sometimes take 5–10 working days, although is often much quicker.
You mentioned the funds haven't been released, please could you email us at info@instavolt.co.uk with the date, time, and location of your charging attempts, along with the last four digits of the card used. We’ll investigate and get back to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we look forward to resolving it for you.
Kind regards,
InstaVolt
