How do you stop InstaVolt from charging?

If you no longer need your charge session, simply press the ‘Stop’ button on the unit. This will end your charging session and you will only be charged for the electricity that was used during that time. 

Can InstaVolt charge 2 cars at once?

Yes, some of InstaVolt's rapid chargers are capable of charge up to 2 cars simultaneously. The stations also have built in cable management systems to ensure that both cables remain tangle-free while in use. Additionally, each car can have its own access fee when charging. To find out if any of the local chargepoints have this feature, please check the InstaVolt app or website.
