Five Valleys Goes Ultra-Fast with InstaVolt’s 160kW EV Charging Upgrade
7 October 2025
Visitors to Five Valleys Shopping Centre in
Stroud can now benefit from upgraded electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities,
thanks to a partnership with InstaVolt—the UK’s largest ultra-rapid charging
provider.
The upgrade has involved replacing the
existing chargers with two 160kW ultra-rapid units, installed in wider bays to
improve accessibility. These new chargers allow drivers to power up and get
back on the road in as little as twenty minutes.
The newly installed units deliver faster
charging speeds, greater reliability, and improved energy efficiency—enabling
drivers to add significant range to their vehicles in the time it takes to
enjoy a coffee, browse the shops, or grab a bite to eat in the Five Valleys
Food Hall.
The upgrade delivers:
· Faster charging times – ultra-rapid technology reduces waiting
times for drivers.
· Reliability – backed by InstaVolt’s industry-leading
99%+ uptime and nationwide engineering support.
· Convenience – contactless payment with no subscription
required.
· Sustainability – powered entirely by renewable energy.
· Accessibility
– a wider bay for easier charging for drivers with additional needs and larger
vehicles.
Jodie Grundy, Operations Director at
Dransfield Properties, the company that owns and manages Five Valleys, said:
“InstaVolt has an excellent reputation for delivering dependable, user-friendly
charging, and we’re delighted to be working with them on this upgrade for our
customers.
“The new chargers will make life easier for
our visitors, ensuring that Five Valleys remains a convenient and sustainable
destination for the local community. Alongside our strong retail line-up, the
centre offers a fantastic range of cafés and our popular food hall, where
drivers can enjoy a break while they charge.”
Delvin Lane, CEO at InstaVolt, added: “We’re
delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with Dransfield Properties
at the Five Valleys site. This upgrade was essential as EV demand continues to
grow.”
The new InstaVolt ultra-rapid chargers are
now fully operational and located by the entrance to the multi-storey car park
at Five Valleys.
