Volta Charging is an American electric vehicle infrastructure company. Volta charging stations are compatible with all major plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicle types in the United States and have a digital screen featuring advertisements. Generally, charging a vehicle at a Volta station is free, because Volta is supported by advertisements.[1] As of September 2021, the company had installed more than 2,000 charging stations in twenty-three U.S. states.[2]

History

Volta Charging was founded in Hawaii in 2010 by Scott Mercer and Chris Wendel.[2][3][4] Leonardo DiCaprio was an early investor in the company.[5][6][7]
