Volta, a U.S.-based EV charger manufacturer, announced its entry into the European market. The company said its initial focus will be in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France. The announcement was made at the annual NOAH Conference in Zurich, a multi-sector sustainable technology convention.

“Our local teams of industry veterans look forward to delivering measurable commercial advantages for our site partners, and maximum convenience for EV drivers,” said Vincent Grena, head of Volta Europe. The company partners with commercial spaces like grocers, stadiums, shopping malls, movie theaters, and municipal partners like city parking lots.
