Volta<\/a>‘s charging network announced that since its foundation in 2010, it has delivered enough electricity to provide 100 million electric miles for electric cars.<\/p>\n

Those were actually free electric miles as the charging points are free to use. The company tries to finance the network through sales of ads displayed on 55-inch digital screens.<\/p>\n

“Volta\u2019s unique charging stations \u2013 which feature large, eye-catching digital displays \u2013 provide a premium content viewing experience for both the drivers who plug their vehicles into the stations and the customers who shop at nearby retailers. Volta\u2019s media-enabled charging stations offer brands a dynamic content experience platform, including activation and engagement opportunities. Brands running campaigns on Volta\u2019s stations report experiencing positive results in brand awareness and increased purchase intent. “<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the presentation for investors, there are over 500 Volta sites with close to 1,900 charging points and 3,600 screens.<\/p>\n

Most of the charging points are AC Level 2, but as we can see in the video below – there are also some DC fast chargers (50 or 100 kW according to the announcement from 2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While the AC chargers can be used right away when plugging in, in the case of fast chargers, to initiate charging (for up to 30-minutes) the Volta app is required. Both types are free to use.<\/p>\n
