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.
