Voltpost Air offers modular EV charging solutions using existing urban infrastructure, enhancing access without major construction

Voltpost has introduced Voltpost Air, an advanced lamppost electric vehicle charger aimed at expanding access to curbside and parking lot charging. This next-generation Level 2 charging platform is designed to be broadly compatible, allowing for rapid installation and reliable operation. It offers flexibility for site hosts to install one or two chargers on wooden and metal lampposts, as well as utility poles.

The first public deployment of Voltpost Air is taking place in Brooklyn, New York, during Climate Week, with support from the New York City Economic Development Corp. (NYCEDC), New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Con Edison. This deployment serves as a model for cities to repurpose existing infrastructure to enhance EV access without needing extensive construction or power grid updates.

Jeffrey Prosserman, CEO and co-founder of Voltpost, emphasized that Voltpost Air addresses challenges faced by cities and property owners in deploying EV charging. With millions of streetlights in the US, converting a portion into chargers could have a substantial impact.

Voltpost, which began in the US, collaborates with cities, utilities and corporations to provide convenient and affordable clean mobility access. Following successful projects in Illinois and Michigan, Voltpost aims to expand its operations across several US states.

Gabe Klein, a board adviser at Voltpost, noted the importance of scalable solutions such as Voltpost's chargers in transitioning to renewable transportation. Voltpost Air's compact, modular design facilitates the conversion of urban infrastructure into EV chargers with minimal disturbance. It mounts about 10 feet aboveground and features a retractable cable system for protection. The design expands retrofit compatibility, enhancing charging options for EV drivers. The Voltpost App provides drivers with real-time charger availability, flexible payment options and remote monitoring capabilities.

Shelby Thompson, director of Deployment at Voltpost, discussed the efficiency and flexibility of Voltpost Air. The adaptable design and streamlined installation process facilitate the rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure. Voltpost Air is now available for deployment, offering municipalities, property managers and businesses the opportunity to efficiently scale their EV charging networks.
