Revolutionizing Urban EV Charging
Voltpost is making waves in the electric vehicle charging industry with its debut of a revolutionary solution tailored for commercial use.
This innovative approach allows Voltpost to deploy projects in major metropolitan areas across the United States, including prominent cities like New York, Chicago, and Detroit, which are set to launch this spring.
At the core of Voltpost's mission is the decarbonization of mobility, which will be achieved through the widespread adoption of EVs and the expansion of charging infrastructure.
By repurposing lampposts into Level 2 charging platforms, Voltpost offers EV owners a convenient and affordable charging solution that can be seamlessly integrated into their daily routines.
Through a user-friendly mobile app, EV drivers can easily locate and access charging stations, further enhancing the Voltpost network's accessibility and usability.
Beyond its convenience for users, the Voltpost solution also brings significant benefits in terms of installation efficiency, maintenance requirements, and overall footprint.
Business Wire reported that Voltpost minimizes the time, cost, and disruption associated with installing traditional charging stations by leveraging existing infrastructure.
Moreover, the Voltpost platform's modular design enables scalability and adaptability, ensuring that it can meet evolving needs and technological advancements in the future.
Electrification of Transportation
In essence, Voltpost's commercial lamppost EV charging solution represents a significant step forward in the electrification of transportation, offering a sustainable and accessible charging infrastructure that aligns with the growing demand for clean mobility solutions.
While Voltpost accommodates all-electric vehicle models, it particularly benefits urban EV owners residing in multi-unit housing without dedicated parking spots. The lamppost charging station offers a convenient nearby option for charging.
Voltpost asserts that its installation process is significantly faster and more cost-effective than other curbside charging alternatives. The charger can be installed in just one to two hours without extensive excavation, trenching, or lengthy permit procedures.
This streamlined installation process aims to facilitate EV charging expansion in densely populated areas, underserved communities, and regions lacking sufficient charging infrastructure.
The central feature of Voltpost's modular charger is its retractable cable management system, which can extend up to 20 feet. This setup ensures easy access to any vehicle area, thereby minimizing downtime and operational expenses.
Voltpost's exclusive innovation is the ChargePlug, which includes pulsating lights to guide cables at a safe 90-degree angle. This feature enhances pedestrian and traffic safety and makes the charging process more secure.
Voltpost offers users a dedicated mobile application to manage charging activities, reserve stations, monitor usage, and make electricity payments. This app also gives users valuable insights into their financial and environmental savings.
In addition, Voltpost's Charge Station Management System (CSMS) provides comprehensive charging analytics.
This enables hosts to customize features, establish pricing, and remotely monitor stations for public and private stakeholders, ensuring efficient management of the charging infrastructure.
