Volta charging network

[Ed Trotter]

Something new to me, at least.

Today, I was up at Main Place Mall headed for the gym and saw two Level 2 chargers being installed by Volta, a company I have not heard of. It turns out there are two sets of two chargers with what appeared to be J1772 plugs. And, believe it or not, they're free. I'm sure I've overlooked references on the forums to the company but thought I'd pass it along as well as some photos I took. Their website is voltacharging.com and I see there are several installations around the area, with 100 listed in the greater Los Angeles area.These four chargers are on the freeway side of the mall near two well used entrances.

Volta is a company that installs free chargers and tries to find advertisers to cover the cost. So they are always free and have large advertising screens. I have seen them in California and Arizona. They saved me a few times!

I wonder if these are part of the VW settlement.

Yes, Volta provides free chargers, no membership or card required.
There are 2 separate Volta locations in Brea

No, they have nothing to do with VW

Love the signage on the parking lot surface.

Volta is really good. They started in Hawaii and,are now in Arizona where I am and California. The,advertising they get pays for them. I actually got our local power company to sponsor a few sites. Some are by tire companies and solar companies.
If you know,anyone that wants to advertise to EV owners have them sign up please.
