## Resource

What if the streetlights in your neighborhood could charge your EV overnight? Voltpost is making this vision a reality by transforming existing lampposts into modular, upgradeable EV charging stations managed by a mobile app. By partnering with utilities, the company is accelerating EV charging infrastructure deployment by retrofitting what’s already in place. Listen in as we sit down with James Everley, Director of Business Development, to explore how Voltpost’s streetlight EV charging solutions blend seamlessly into the urban landscape. From pricing that respects overnight charging habits to design choices that fit historic districts, you’ll discover why low-power, on-street Level 2 charging is a critical piece of the broader EV ecosystem. We’d love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org.
