Voltpost is developing a system to convert light poles into EV chargers in major US cities, providing convenient and affordable charging access for electric car owners.
Most people who drive electric cars charge them at home in their driveway or garage. But what if you live in a city like New York where many residents park wherever they can find a space on the street? There are a lot of drivers like that in American cities , and they are unlikely to buy a plug-in hybrid or battery electric car until they have access to convenient charging. Voltpost thinks it has an answer that is quick, convenient, and cost effective.
Voltpost transforms lampposts into a modular and upgradable Level 2 EV charging platform powered by a mobile app. The company claims a short installation time of one to two hours as well as low maintenance needs. The charging posts themselves have either 2 or 4 charging ports and feature a 20-foot-long charging cable “for convenient access to any part of the vehicle.” The chargers are built in the US.says the Voltpost device is basically a shroud that covers the lower part of a lamppost.
“Many people hesitate to buy an EV due to range anxiety and lack of charging options—imagine what that’s like for people living in cities in multi-unit dwellings and no dedicated parking,” said Voltpost advisor Laura Fox, who is the co-founder and managing partner at Streetlife Ventures. She is also the former general manager of Citi Bike. “Voltpost’s solution is a no-brainer for urban curbside charging.
