Voltera’s customers are companies that have a pressing need to power EVs at scale. They are challenged by the fact that charging infrastructure does not exist in the right place, at the right time, or of the right type necessary to support planned EV deployments. They're also challenged by the complexity of siting, building, owning, and operating EV charging infrastructure without disrupting operations or investing significant time and upfront capital.

With strong equity backing from EQT – one of the world’s largest private equity groups –we’re executing on a multibillion-dollar plan to acquire, build, own and operate critical charging infrastructure to help you overcome those challenges. Deep experience deploying charging assets, proven critical infrastructure expertise and key strategic partners uniquely position Voltera to help you get to market fast, eliminate upfront CapEx, maximize vehicle time in service, and deliver a great charging experience.
