Voltpost’s Vision in Action ?? We all know EVs are the future, but finding a place to charge, especially in a city, can feel impossible. Most urban residents don’t have driveways or garages, so where do they plug in? That’s where Voltpost comes in. Instead of building expensive new charging stations from scratch, they turn existing lampposts into EV chargers! This cuts costs, avoids sidewalk disruption, and makes curbside charging way more accessible. ?? Recently, Columbia Venture Partners (CVP) had the pleasure of hosting Aditi Desai, Director of Partnerships at Voltpost, to discuss their innovative approach to urban electrification. Their approach is smart, scalable, and actually doable: ?? Why it works: ? Easy Setup – No digging or heavy construction, just retrofit a lamppost. ? City-Friendly – Ideal for overnight street parking with Level 2 chargers. ? Smart Features – Can support Wi-Fi, air quality sensors, and local art. ? More Access – Expands charging in communities that need it most. With big expansion plans and $10M+ in grants lined up, we're excited to see what’s next for Voltpost as they scale across the U.S.! ?? How do you see cities adapting to the EV boom?
