What Voltpost does
Voltpost is a Brooklyn-based private hardware and software company that retrofits existing public and private lampposts into modular, upgradable Level 2 electric vehicle chargers managed through a mobile application. The platform's core technology supports mounting on round, octagonal, and square poles made of metal, wood, or concrete, with one to four charging ports per unit, a 25-foot retractable cable (AutoCoil, patented by manufacturing partner EVSE LLC), weatherproof operation from -40C to 55C, and AT&T IoT connectivity for remote diagnostics and firmware updates. The company's product portfolio consists of the original Voltpost unit, the next-generation Voltpost Air launched in September 2025, and the Voltpost App for iOS and Android, with optional RFID payment and planned Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Voltpost generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of charging units to site hosts; per-kWh or per-minute usage fees collected from drivers via the mobile app, with revenue shared with site hosts; and a recurring software/network platform subscription for charger management, monitoring, and analytics. Pricing varies by location and session type, with free account creation and pay-as-you-go billing as the default cadence. Customers are concentrated in three primary verticals: government and municipalities (DC DOEE, NYSERDA, Connecticut PURA, NYCEDC, City of Detroit), utilities (Con Edison, ComEd, DTE Energy, Eversource, NYSERDA), and private-sector property owners (The Henry Ford, MADE Bush Terminal, Detroit Smart Parking Lab), accessed through a direct enterprise sales motion supplemented by a self-serve mobile-app channel for drivers and grant-funded pilot deployments as the primary commercial wedge.
The company was founded in 2021 by Jeff Prosserman (CEO) and Luke Mairo (COO), has raised approximately $9.9M across a 2022 pre-seed/seed, a 2023 seed led by RWE Energy Transition Investments and Twynam Funds Management, and a 2024 SEC-exempt offering, and operates across seven US jurisdictions with a strategic manufacturing partnership with EVSE LLC in Connecticut. As of 2026, Voltpost remains in pilot-to-early-commercial stage with deployments of 10-50 chargers per contract, multi-channel recognition including TIME Best Inventions 2025 and Fast Company World's Most Innovative Companies 2026, and a go-to-market anchored on municipal grants and utility partnerships rather than recurring enterprise SaaS contracts.

Voltpost competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Ubitricity: Ubitricity pioneered lamppost-mounted EV charging in Europe and deployed roughly 2,000 units across the UK before being acquired by Shell. It is the closest direct peer to Voltpost because it operates in the exact same product category (lamppost-retrofit Level 2 charging).
- FLO: FLO is a Canadian-founded EV charging network with US operations, selling Level 2 and DC fast chargers plus a management software platform. It is a direct peer in managed EV charging infrastructure and shares Voltpost's target segments of municipalities, workplaces, and fleets.
- Wallbox: Wallbox makes smart Level 2 and DC bidirectional EV chargers and a management platform, selling to residential, workplace and fleet customers. It is a direct peer in networked Level 2 charging with overlapping software and customer segments, though it emphasizes wall-mounted rather than lamppost installations.
Broad incumbents
- ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest EV charging networks in North America, selling Level 2 and DC fast hardware plus a SaaS management platform to municipalities, workplaces and fleets. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Voltpost in managed charging software and network operations, though it focuses on standalone rather than lamppost chargers.
- Blink Charging: Blink Charging (formerly SemaConnect) designs, manufactures and operates networked EV charging equipment for public, private and fleet use. It competes with Voltpost across managed Level 2 charging and software services but with a much larger installed base and broader product portfolio.
- EVgo: EVgo is a major US public DC fast-charging network operator with a focus on urban and highway corridors. While it competes primarily on DC fast rather than lamppost Level 2, it targets the same urban driver base and municipal partners as Voltpost.
- Enphase Energy: Enphase acquired JuiceBox/eMotorWerks and now sells networked Level 2 EV chargers alongside its solar and home energy management products. It is a broad incumbent in residential energy with overlap in smart EV charging, particularly for homeowners with rooftop solar.
Emerging players
- FreeWire Technologies: FreeWire builds battery-integrated ultrafast EV charging stations and a cloud management platform for commercial, fleet and utility customers. It is an emerging peer in managed charging software and infrastructure with overlap in utility partnerships, though its core product is DC fast rather than lamppost Level 2.
- ChargeLab: ChargeLab provides OCPP-based EV charging management software for charger manufacturers, network operators and site hosts. It is an emerging software-focused peer with overlap in managed charging platforms and integrations, though it sells software rather than its own lamppost hardware.
- Electrada: Electrada is an EV charging network operator focused on turnkey charging-as-a-service for property owners, multifamily and commercial real estate. It is an emerging peer in managed charging for property owners — a key Voltpost customer segment — though without lamppost-specific hardware.
