InstaVolt expands British Land partnership to deploy 273 EV charging units across 18 UK retail parks
By Eve
InstaVolt is rolling out 273 EV charging units across 18 British Land retail park sites in the UK, with five locations already live and the remainder due for activation in the coming months. Two sites under development at Reading Gate and Kingston, Milton Keynes will feature on-site battery energy storage to ease grid demand and support reliable charging at peak times. All sites operate 24/7 with off-peak rates available after 8 pm via the InstaVolt app, announced 27 July 2026.
Why it matters
This represents one of the largest retail park charging rollouts in the UK, demonstrating how property developers and CPOs are integrating battery storage to de-risk grid constraints and deliver resilient ultra-rapid charging at high-footfall retail destinations. The scale and storage integration offer a procurement blueprint for similar retail and mixed-use developments.

InstaVolt opens 16 ultra-rapid chargers at Serpentine Green in Peterborough
InstaVolt has launched a 16-bay ultra-rapid charging hub at Serpentine Green Shopping Centre in Hampton, Peterborough, near Junction 17 of the A1. The site includes four fully accessible bays and four dual-connector chargers offering both CCS and CHAdeMO connections, all powered by 100% renewable energy and available 24/7. InstaVolt App users pay 55p per kWh between 8pm and 7am.
Why it matters
The hub adds significant ultra-rapid capacity in a high-footfall retail location with strong road links, demonstrating continued rollout momentum for InstaVolt. The inclusion of accessible bays and dual-connector units reflects procurement priorities around inclusivity and vehicle compatibility in public charging infrastructure.
Electrify America operates 6,029 DC fast-charging ports across 1,191 US sites
Electrify America now runs 6,029 DC fast-charging ports at 1,191 locations in the United States, making it the second largest DC charging network after Tesla Supercharger, according to InsideEVs citing the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. Over the past year, the network's port count grew by 16% and station count by around 10%, with 202 ports added in the second quarter alone, representing 6.7% of all US DC fast-charging ports. ChargePoint, the third largest operator, installed 333 ports in the same quarter and holds 6.1% market share, while Walmart's network added more ports than any other non-Tesla company in the quarter, reaching 916 ports across 110 stations.
Why it matters
The figures confirm Electrify America's dominant position among non-Tesla networks and provide procurement teams with current scale benchmarks for the US fast-charging market. Walmart's aggressive second quarter rollout signals a major retail-led expansion that could reshape site partnership opportunities for CPOs and equipment suppliers.
Queue and reservation hardware shifts from niche to core layer as high utilisation sites hit capacity limits
The global market for public EV charging queue and reservation hardware is entering structural expansion as charge point operators face physical limits at high utilisation sites, according to an IndexBox report entering 2026. Demand is splitting between integrated systems for new high power hubs and retrofit solutions for existing stations. The hardware includes integrated displays, sensors, payment terminals, communication modules and access controllers, with supply chains characterised by validation requirements where approved vendor status with major CPOs and Tier 1 integrators often matters more than unit cost.
Why it matters
CPOs planning procurement must now evaluate queue management as core infrastructure rather than optional add on, with vendor selection increasingly driven by validation and integration partnerships rather than price alone. The bifurcation between new build and retrofit creates distinct channel and specification strategies for operators upgrading networks.
