An EV driver from Winchester is staking a claim to the title of the UK’s most prolific charger on a public network.
Audiologist Rebecca Parramore, 27, covers almost 200 miles a day visiting patients across the south of England to carry out hearing tests in their homes. Without access to a home charger, Rebecca relies entirely on public charging networks for her journeys.
Since the Winchester Superhub opened in March 2025, Rebecca has charged there more than 175 times. The site, built by InstaVolt, is the largest of its kind in the country and is also her go-to location where she tops up every weekday and often at weekends too.
On being the site’s most prolific user, Rebecca said:
"It’s part of my routine now. I don’t have a home charger, and my company has moved to electric vehicles - but once you drive an EV you realise how great they are. I drive a BYD Dolphin and it couldn’t be better suited to my long days on the road.
“Charging at the Winchester Superhub has fit seamlessly into my day. You're always guaranteed a charger, it's well-lit and safe. As a bonus, you can enjoy a Starbucks and catch up on admin or just relax and unwind after a long day on the road.”
To recognise her loyalty, InstaVolt CEO, Delvin Lane, stopped by during one of Rebecca’s charging sessions to gift her a luxury Christmas hamper - filled with festive favourites locally sourced in the New Forest.
Delvin Lane, CEO of InstaVolt, said:
“We built the Winchester Superhub with every kind of EV driver in mind - from local residents and commuters to holiday makers and those without access to home charging - and Rebecca is a perfect example. With 44 ultra-rapid chargers available 24/7, we’re here to support everyone. All of our sites are designed with comfort, convenience, and reliability at their core.”
The Winchester Superhub stands as the UK’s largest single-operator charging site. It features 44 ultra-rapid 160kW chargers and also features an on-site Starbucks, spacious drive-through bays designed for larger or towing vehicles, a dedicated children’s play zone, 24/7 toilet facilities and areas for dog walking.
All of InstaVolt's charge points can be found on the Zapmap app, and thanks to a live data partnership, show live status and availability 24 hours a day.
An 870-panel solar farm paired with on-site battery storage helps balance demand and reduce pressure on the national grid, and on top of that, all of the bays are fully accessible, making them easier to use for every driver whether they have a disability, drive a van or have children in tow.
