The UK's largest ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging hub near Winchester opens to motorists this morning.

InstaVolt's six million pound Super Hub at Three Maids Hill off the A34 includes 44 bays to charge up to 200 vehicles a day.

They'll be powered primarily by energy generated by 870 solar panels installed nearby.

Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, commented: "The Winchester Superhub isn’t just a charging hub - it’s a flagship site that sets a new standard for ultra-rapid EV charging. As our largest and most advanced site to date, it delivers industry-leading reliability at an unprecedented scale, ensuring drivers can charge quickly and with confidence.

“This site is also a milestone in innovation, marking our first-ever location where we are generating our own renewable energy - pushing the boundaries of sustainability and self-sufficiency in EV charging.

“Above all, we are redefining what EV drivers can expect when they charge, seamless, ultra-rapid, and future-proofed charging that makes the switch to electric easier, faster, and more accessible than ever before."

A dog walking area, complete with waste disposal facilities, makes it easier for pet owners on long journeys, and an air and water machine helps drivers maintain their vehicles while they charge.

State-of-the-art CCTV and security services give drivers peace of mind that they are charging safely. The site is lit with low-level LED lighting, balancing driver safety while preserving the night sky.
