Voltpost completes first public deployment of lamppost EV charger in Oak Park

“The deployment of a Voltpost charger in Oak Park will expand EV charging access for the local community and help catalyse the transition to sustainable transportation,” said Jeffrey Prosserman, CEO and co-founder, Voltpost.

“This deployment builds upon our ongoing projects in New York and Michigan and marks a step forward in our mission to scale the Voltpost platform nationwide. We are grateful to our partners at the Park District of Oak Park and ComEd for collaborating with us to make equitable EV charging infrastructure available for the residents of Oak Park.”

“This collaboration represents a meaningful step toward cleaner, more accessible energy infrastructure, and I’m proud to help connect innovation with impact”

“As a liaison for 2c2i, an initiative that invests in startups tackling climate change and advancing equity, I’m excited to support Voltpost’s mission to bring sustainable, street-level charging solutions to communities,” said Najwa Abouhassan, senior manager operational planning, ComEd. “This collaboration represents a meaningful step toward cleaner, more accessible energy infrastructure, and I’m proud to help connect innovation with impact.”

Voltpost retrofits lampposts into a modular and upgradable Level 2 EV charging platform powered by a mobile app. The company claims this first-of-a-kind platform in the US provides people convenient and affordable charging while reducing the cost, timing and footprint of chargers.

Voltpost’s charger design can be installed in minutes, right on an existing public or privately owned lamppost, providing communities with a scalable, equitable solution.
