Volta Industries LLC, an enterprise that develops and installs charging stations for electric vehicles, was founded in 2010 in San Francisco. The Volta network installs and manages its level 2 charging stations completely free of charge. As of September 2021, Volta installed more than 2,000 sponsored charging stations in shopping centers’ parking lots in Honoloulu, the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Chicago, Illinois, San Diego and Phoenix. They are all equipped with a universal connector.
Volta charging stations in the United States are compatible with all major plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicle types. Additionally, these stations feature digital screens displaying advertisements. Typically, charging a vehicle at a Volta station is free, thanks to their reliance on advertising support.
We can find their charging stations in California, Arizona, Hawaii, and many more states. The best way to find out where all of Volta’s charging stations are located, regardless of which network you belong to, is by using ChargeHub’s charging station map.
Shell Recharge USA acquired the company for an estimated $169 million on March 31, 2023.
