Volta Charging

This solution helps real estate owners, advertising brands, and drivers. The real estate owners benefit by the charging stations pulling in affluent customers, the brands benefit from a captive audience to market to, and the drivers benefit from the free charging service.

While this idea has attracted a large amount of capital and the company has expanded to over 3,000 charging points, Volta has struggled for profitability even after going public due in part to surging electricity costs and permiting issues. Rather than letting a good idea go to waste, Shell acquired the company in its entirety in early 2023. This move will provide Volta with the capital and support needed to continue its operations as part of Shell's ongoing pivot to green energy.
