Voltpost’s lamppost-mounted EV chargers are now available in New York.
The startup’s pole-mounted dispensers can be found in the Village of Larchmont.
More chargers are slated to go online in Yonkers and Rye.
Voltpost, the American startup that wants to turn public lampposts into EV chargers, has installed its first dispensers in New York’s Westchester County. The pole-mounted chargers went online today in the Village of Larchmont, with the company claiming that it will expand coverage in Yonkers and Rye soon. The Larchmont project is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s Vehicle to Grid program.
The startup’s lamppost EV chargers can be installed in a couple of hours and at a fraction of the cost and footprint of traditional charging stations, simply because they make use of existing infrastructure. Voltpost can install two of its Air chargers on a single lamppost, with each unit capable of delivering up to 9.6 kilowatts.
