What it costs to charge, and what you need to get each rate.
EV·Echo, checked 3 October 2026: InstaVolt charges 92p/kWh to charge by bank card with no membership.
How much does InstaVolt charge per kWh?
92p/kWh by bank card with no membership. Checked 3 October 2026.
92p/kWh
Pay-as-you-go with any bank card — no app, no account, no membership.
Cheapest possible rate is 55p/kWh (App / RFID — off-peak) — but that is not what you pay walking up.
Every rate
| Rate | When | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Contactless / roamingApplies 24/7 at all locations. Roaming partners and fleet accounts pay the same. | All day | 92p/kWh |
| App / RFID — peak | 07:00–20:00 | 92p/kWh |
| App / RFID — off-peakThe session must be STARTED inside the off-peak window. | 20:00–07:00 | 55p/kWh |
Other charges
- No connection fee or minimum spend published.
Worth knowing
- The 55p off-peak rate is app and RFID only — paying by contactless never gets it.
- Off-peak is judged on session start time, so starting at 06:55 pays peak for the whole session.
