More US cities are getting Voltpost’s lamppost EV chargers

Voltpost is partnering with EV charging services company InCharge Energy to roll out more of its lamppost and utility pole EV chargers across the US, starting with deployments in New York, Connecticut, and California.

Why this matters
Why now

The accelerating transition to electric vehicles necessitates innovative and pervasive charging infrastructure solutions, making lamppost chargers a timely answer to urban charging challenges.

Why it’s important

The widespread deployment of lamppost EV chargers addresses critical urban charging infrastructure gaps, accelerates EV adoption, and provides a scalable model for grid integration.

What changes

The accessibility and density of EV charging in urban environments are significantly improved, reducing barriers for potential EV owners without off-street parking.

Winners
  • · Voltpost
  • · InCharge Energy
  • · EV owners
  • · Urban municipalities
Losers
  • · Traditional gas stations
  • · Grid operators unprepared for distributed load
  • · Apartment dwellers reliant on public infrastructure
Second-order effects
Direct

Increased EV adoption in dense urban areas due to improved charging convenience.

Second

Municipalities may explore smart grid integration with lamppost chargers, potentially enabling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services.

Third

The success of distributed charging infrastructure could reduce the need for large, dedicated charging hubs, altering urban land use and future energy planning.
