InstaVolt has installed four more EV chargers at the McDonald’s restaurant in Alperton, London, bringing the number of ultra-rapid charging points at the branch to six.
The EV charge point operator initially fitted two chargers at the site in Hanger Lane (Ealing) in February 2023, as part of a nationwide partnership between the two businesses.
At the Alperton site, the parking bay is compliant with the BSI accessibility standard for charging, PAS1899:2022, and features 1.2 metres of space on all four sides of the bay to allow for easier manoeuvrability.
The six-charger site is now fully operational, and all chargers can be started using any contactless payment card, or through the optional InstaVolt mobile app.
Reema Mavani, McDonald’s Franchisee, said, “Working closely with InstaVolt, we have made it a priority to ensure that our charging facilities serve the entire community, accommodating every individual in need of a charge.
“This expansion underscores our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers and supporting the transition to sustainable transportation.”
Simon Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at InstaVolt, said, “We aim to deliver a great charging experience for our drivers by making our sites user friendly.
“This covers several aspects including ease of charger use, payment options, lighting and access.
“With the inclusion of an accessible bay at the Alperton site, we’re affirming our commitment to make charging accessible to all.
“With more than 400 chargers situated at 230 plus McDonald’s restaurants across the UK, the partnership is supporting existing EV drivers, while giving confidence to those considering making the switch to electric.”
