Washington DC expands public EV charging access

The award comes as electric vehicle adoption in the District continues to surge. EV registrations reached 20 per cent of all new registered vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2025, reportedly ranking the District first in the nation ahead of all US states.

With demand for public charging growing alongside EV ownership, Voltpost’s infrastructure will provide critical support for EV drivers.

“Expanding charging access is critical to accelerating EV adoption, and through this collaboration with DoEE, we will install public charging infrastructure for District residents both kerbside and in parking lots”

Voltpost retrofits lampposts and utility poles into a modular and upgradable Level 2 EV charging platform powered by a mobile app. This platform aims to provides people with convenient and affordable charging while reducing the cost, timing, and footprint of chargers. The chargers are equipped with wireless connectivity through AT&T’s advanced network, enabling customers to use the Voltpost app to easily locate chargers in their area, check availability, and monitor charging status.

“We are thrilled to bring Voltpost’s retrofit charging platform to the nation’s capital,” said Jeffrey Prosserman, CEO and co-founder of Voltpost. “Expanding charging access is critical to accelerating EV adoption, and through this collaboration with DoEE, we will install public charging infrastructure for District residents both kerbside and in parking lots. This charging project progresses vital clean transportation goals, and we are grateful to the DC Government for their vision and leadership.”
