Overview
- InstaVolt has embedded GPS devices across more than 2,000 fast-charging stalls in partnership with Trackit247.
- Each cable is geofenced to its charger, triggering instant alerts to a 24/7 security center that can coordinate with police.
- Nearly 1,000 InstaVolt charging stations have been targeted since late 2023, with reported losses of about £410,000 through April 2025.
- The rollout complements Kevlar cable sleeves and a forensic dye designed to resist cutting and help trace suspects.
- Thieves net roughly £25 worth of copper per cable while repairs average around £1,000 per site, undermining charger reliability for drivers.
