Cities across America are about to get a major boost in their electric vehicle infrastructure, thanks to an exciting partnership that's making EV charging simpler, faster, and more accessible than ever before.

Voltpost, an innovative EV charging company, is joining forces with Connecticut-based manufacturer EVSE LLC to scale production of the Voltpost Air, a clever lamppost charging system that's changing how cities think about EV infrastructure. The beauty of this solution lies in its elegant simplicity: rather than tearing up streets and spending months on construction, these chargers can be installed on existing streetlights and parking lot poles in just a few hours.

Launched last fall, the Voltpost Air represents a thoughtful approach to urban charging challenges. By mounting high up on poles instead of at ground level, these chargers can transform everyday lampposts into functional charging stations without the headaches of major construction projects. For cities struggling with the slow pace and high costs of traditional EV charger installation, this innovation offers a welcome breath of fresh air.

The partnership brings together the best of both worlds. Voltpost contributes its smart software platform that manages charging for public agencies, utilities, and private customers, while EVSE adds its manufacturing expertise and patented AutoCoil retractable cable system. This clever cable technology automatically retracts when not in use, protecting the equipment from vandalism and weather damage—two common concerns that have plagued curbside charging equipment in the past.

What makes this development particularly exciting is its compliance with Build America Buy America standards, ensuring that these chargers will be manufactured domestically across the United States. With connectivity provided by AT&T, the system offers reliable, connected charging infrastructure that cities can count on.

The strategic thinking behind lamppost charging is refreshingly straightforward: cities already have the poles and the power infrastructure in place, so why not put them to work? This approach is especially valuable in dense urban areas where space is at a premium and traditional charging installations can become expensive, time-consuming, or politically complicated.

Adding to the momentum, Voltpost has welcomed James Everley to lead business development. Everley brings valuable experience from ubitricity, a company that successfully brought lamppost EV charging to Europe and parts of the United States. His expertise will help ensure that this innovative solution reaches cities, companies, and utilities efficiently and reliably.

The implications of this partnership extend far beyond just adding more charging stations. By making EV charging more accessible in urban environments where many people park on streets rather than in private garages, this technology helps democratize electric vehicle ownership. Residents of apartments and condos who previously worried about where they'd charge an EV now have a practical solution within reach.

As EVSE continues testing and refining the technology through projects across the country, the future of urban EV charging looks brighter than ever. This partnership demonstrates how innovative thinking and smart collaboration can solve real-world challenges, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable transportation future that's accessible to everyone.
