The public Ultra-Rapid EV charge network Instavolt has started live GPS tracking in order to tackle the risk of load theft.
In cooperation with Trackit247, the live GPS devices in the nationwide network of Instavolt are installed in real-time tracking stolen cables in the real-time tracking of live GPS devices.
With the location tactuals that are sent every three seconds, each device is geo-canted with the charger, whereby each movement outside the area demonstrated is triggered an immediate alarm to the Instavolt security control center.
Cable theft is a rapidly growing crime that affects the EV infrastructure in Great Britain and causes significant downtime, lost investments and disorders for drivers. As recently reported in T+E, cable theft and vandalism doubled in 2024, whereby increasingly reports from criminals to EV charging points for the copper cabling within the cables.
The sector takes solutions on this topic. In January, Transport + Energy reported on a new cable alarm, which was introduced by EVOLT load in response to rising incidents by EV charging cable theft and vandalism.
In addition, Kempower was launched in August in August, which was developed by the formula and released a uniquely identifiable liquid when cables were manipulated and contacted the perpetrator and its nearby things.
CEO from Instavolt Delvin Lane said:
“By introducing GPS technology, we set a new benchmark for how the industry can deter the offenders, creates the infrastructure and supports the law enforcement authorities.
“Cable theft is a growing challenge for our industry, which threatens the trust of the EV drivers and undermine investments in the charge infrastructure.
“By using the use of live GPS tracking with our partners at Trackit247, we take decisive measures to protect our network and to support the police in combating this crime.
“We strive to ensure that drivers can rely on our chargers whenever and where they need them.”
