Voltpost

Voltpost is revolutionizing urban electric vehicle charging by transforming existing lampposts, utility poles, garage ceilings, and walls into modular, upgradable Level 2 EV charging platforms. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York, the company has developed a first-of-its-kind retrofit approach that significantly reduces installation costs and time compared to traditional EV charging station construction - cutting costs by up to 70% and enabling installation in just a few hours without digging trenches or major construction.

The company's mission centers on decarbonizing mobility by democratizing EV charging access, particularly in dense urban areas where curbside charging has traditionally been lacking. Voltpost's flagship product, Voltpost Air, offers broad compatibility with various pole types including wood, metal, concrete, and decorative poles, and features an innovative AutoCoil system with 25 feet of self-retracting cable. The chargers are mounted approximately 10 feet high to protect against vandalism and flooding, and are permanently connected via AT&T's network for real-time monitoring and payment processing through the Voltpost mobile app. The company has expanded across multiple states including New York, California, Michigan, Illinois, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, and has been recognized as a 2026 Fast Company Most Innovative Company, a 2025 TIME Best Invention, and a 2025 Fast Company World Changing Idea.
