InstaVolt sells Spanish and Portuguese networks to Powerdot, refocuses on UK and Ireland after £290 million refinancing
By Eve
InstaVolt has agreed to sell its Spanish and Portuguese charging businesses to Powerdot, following a £250 million debt refinancing and £40 million equity investment backed by EQT and consortium lenders. The UK operator, which recently acquired a national brand with over 228 locations and more than 260 charging devices, entered the Iberian market in 2023 and will now redeploy infrastructure to accelerate growth in its core UK and Ireland markets. The transaction allows InstaVolt to concentrate capital on its home territories while Powerdot continues developing the Iberian network.
Why it matters
The deal signals a strategic pivot by a major CPO to consolidate resources in higher margin home markets after testing international expansion, and highlights how refinancing firepower is driving M&A activity and network consolidation across Europe. Procurement teams should note InstaVolt's appetite for further UK acquisitions and the redeployment of hardware, which may create supply or partnership opportunities.

InstaVolt launches Miles loyalty programme with Virgin Red partnership
InstaVolt has introduced InstaVolt Miles, a free loyalty scheme that awards one Volt per £1 spent on charging, redeemable as charging credit across four reward tiers. From 2 November, a Virgin Red partnership will let drivers convert Volts into Virgin Points for flights, hotels and experiences. The programme is automatic for all InstaVolt app users, with no subscription fee.
Why it matters
Loyalty schemes can drive repeat usage and stickiness on public networks, a competitive edge as CPOs vie for driver retention. The Virgin Red tie-up adds non-charging value that may influence site selection and procurement discussions with landlords seeking high-footfall operators.
Believ to install more than 600 chargers across Ayrshire in 15 year council partnership
EV charge point operator Believ has secured a 15 year agreement with three Ayrshire councils to install more than 600 chargers at around 300 locations, with installation beginning in early 2027. The project combines over £2.8m from the Scottish Government's EV Infrastructure Fund with more than £15m in committed capital investment from Believ, delivered alongside Transport Scotland and the Scottish Futures Trust. The rollout includes roughly 180 chargers for East Ayrshire, 210 for North Ayrshire and 220 for South Ayrshire, with passive infrastructure for over 450 additional chargers to enable future upgrades without disruptive roadworks.
Why it matters
This major regional deployment demonstrates how CPOs can secure long term public sector contracts by combining government funding with substantial private capital, creating a scalable model for rural and island charging access. The inclusion of passive infrastructure for 450 additional chargers shows forward planning that reduces future deployment costs and speeds network expansion as EV adoption grows.
Vietnam mandates cross-brand compatibility at public EV chargers from July 2027
Circular 61/2026/TT-BCT, issued by Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade, requires public EV charging stations to serve vehicles from multiple manufacturers starting 1 July 2027. Operators must install compatible connectors, charging modes and technical specifications, and station control systems must not restrict charging for publicly declared compatible vehicle configurations. The regulation emphasises technical compatibility without mandating support for all vehicle brands, The Investor reported on 8 October.
Why it matters
The rule forces charging point operators in Vietnam to design infrastructure for interoperability, potentially raising upfront costs but widening the addressable customer base. Procurement teams and OEMs will need to verify that hardware and software meet the new compatibility standards ahead of the July 2027 deadline.
