InstaVolt agrees national charging framework with Whitbread for Premier Inn sites
InstaVolt has signed a national framework with Whitbread PLC, owner of Premier Inn, to install ultra-rapid charging across its UK estate. It follows InstaVolt's acquisition of 228 GeniePoint locations from Equans, including charging at more than 100 locations linked to the Whitbread estate. Existing Premier Inn chargers will be upgraded with new ultra-rapid technology, enhanced grid connections where required and improved signage, and charging will be open to the wider public as well as hotel guests, across a brand with more than 845 hotels in the UK and Ireland.
Why it matters
A single framework covering a large hotel estate shows how host groups are consolidating site access with one operator, which narrows the pipeline of open destination sites for rival CPOs. Grid upgrades at existing sites also point to continued demand for connection and electrical works.
