Voltpost, the lamppost electric vehicle (EV) charging company, has unveiled a pioneering curbside EV charging solution, marking a significant advancement in urban mobility. The company's innovative platform, which retrofits lampposts into modular and upgradable Level 2 EV charging stations, aims to address the challenges of range anxiety and charging accessibility in major U.S. metro areas such as New York, Chicago, and Detroit.

Urban EV drivers, particularly those residing in multi-unit housing with limited parking options, stand to benefit significantly from Voltpost's solution. Unlike traditional charging infrastructure, Voltpost's curbside chargers can be installed in just one to two hours, at a fraction of the cost, without the need for extensive construction or permitting processes. This accessibility is crucial for bringing EV charging to underserved communities and high-density areas.

Jeff Prosserman, Co-Founder and CEO of Voltpost, emphasized the company's commitment to making EV chargers as ubiquitous as traditional lampposts. By leveraging existing urban infrastructure, Voltpost aims to democratize charging access and accelerate the transition to electric mobility, thereby building more sustainable and resilient communities.

Voltpost's curbside EV charging solution features an integrated retractable cable management system, flexible design for various environments, and safety features exceeding industry standards. Moreover, its modular platform design enables quick exchanges and upgrades, while a mobile application empowers drivers to manage charging events and gain insights into their environmental and financial savings.

The commercial availability of Voltpost's curbside charging solution follows successful pilot installations in collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Studio program. With a focus on efficiency, affordability, and scalability, Voltpost is poised to reshape urban mobility and create new revenue streams for cities and businesses alike.
