The football club, which plays in League One of the English Football League, is now part of the UK’s largest open public EV network provided by award-winning operator InstaVolt, which has more than 1,300 rapid chargers across the country.
The ultra-rapid EV charging hub, located just off the M4 motorway, provides drivers with charging speeds of up to 160kW. The addition of InstaVolt chargers at the Select Car Leasing stadium offers customers a quick and easy option to recharge their EVs while enjoying amenities at Reading Gate Retail Park, which is just a short walk away.
Reading-based vehicle lease specialist Select Car Leasing is the principal partner of Reading FC and sponsor of the stadium itself. Mark Tongue, joint CEO at Select, says the company shares InstaVolt’s vision of making electric vehicle ownership as convenient and affordable as possible.
Voted as one of Britain’s top rapid charging networks in Zap Map’s annual EV public charging network satisfaction survey, InstaVolt’s chargers are powered using 100% renewable energy, and easy to use and take contactless payment: there’s no need to sign up and no subscription required.
Drivers can visit the website, or sign up to the optional InstaVolt App, where they can find their nearest charging station, search for real-time availability across its sites, and pay for their charge.
