Voltpost secures $1.3 million in pre-seed financing.
Voltpost is an electric vehicle charging company that transforms lampposts into public smart charging stations. Voltpost retrofits lampposts into charging stations managed by a mobile application. The Voltpost system enables quick installation of non-invasive components, reducing footprint, timing, and cost.
Greenhouse gases made this decade the hottest ever recorded. To combat the climate crisis, GHG emissions must be cut in half by 2030, and reach net-zero by 2050. According to the EPA, transportation accounts for 31% of US annual GHG emissions with cars as the largest source.
About 2% of total cars in the US are electric. Although many city residents want to purchase electric vehicles, the top adoption barrier is the lack of public charging stations. Therefore, convenient and reliable public charging access on city streets is critical to accelerate adoption.
Voltpost generates value for cities, drivers, and brands. Drivers will gain public electric vehicle charging access on city streets to reduce range anxiety. Cities and brands will generate new revenue, improve city planning, and accelerate decarbonization.
The Voltpost team has diverse backgrounds developing consumer products distributed globally. We are building a high-growth sustainable company to make a positive impact. The team is driven to accelerate the electric mobility transition by transforming lampposts into Voltposts.
Voltpost raised $1,300,000 to develop the lamppost charging system, secure pilot contracts, and expand the team. This round included Good News Ventures, SSC Venture Partners, and other private investors.
