Voltera was purpose-built by EQT, one of the largest and most active infrastructure investors globally, and EdgeConneX, the critical infrastructure partner of choice for the world’s largest tech companies, to help you overcome the challenges to vehicle electrification at scale.
EQT Infrastructure aims to help support the global energy transition and was looking for opportunities to help develop the charging infrastructure necessary to support vehicle electrification at scale. Through its experience in the datacenter and renewables sectors, including with EdgeConneX (also a portfolio company) EQT understood that the capabilities needed to overcome the challenges to transport electrification are similar to the capabilities EdgeConneX developed as a leading data center provider.
So with strong equity backing from EQT, Voltera was spun out of EdgeConneX to execute on a multibillion-dollar plan to site, build, own, and operate strategically located, fit-for-purpose charging facilities – to enable EV deployment and operation at scale, and make zero-emission transportation at scale a reality.
At Voltera, we thrive on innovation and collaboration, driven by a shared commitment to advancing sustainable transportation. With a focus on empowerment and accountability, we work tirelessly to make zero-emission transportation a widespread reality.
Careers"Almost a third of all greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation; there’s no question that our collective future depends on zero-emission transport. Fleet operators, automakers, and consumers alike are adopting electric vehicles at a rapidly accelerating pace. Lagging far behind, though, is the infrastructure to support EVs at scale. We have to bridge that gap if we’re going to make zero-emission transportation a reality."A key part of the challenge is that charging facilities need to be strategically located and require a lot of power. In the U.S. and Europe, almost 150 gigawatts of power – about equivalent to the annual power consumption of all U.S. households – will be required by EV fleets by 2030. Voltera is uniquely positioned to help solve those challenges, which is why I’m so excited and proud to be part of this team."
