About
Volta Charging designs, installs, and maintains a network of electric vehicle charging stations at high-traffic commercial locations such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and shopping centers. Its business model is uniquely ad-supported: large-format digital advertising screens on each station allow brands to sponsor the free charging experience. Volta serves site partners, brands, cities, and consumers simultaneously. The company was acquired by Shell in March 2023 for approximately $169 million.
