Voltera isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Its latest announcement is proof. The California-based Charging as a Service (CaaS) company has expanded its electric vehicle charging facilities in the states of California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida.
Only this time, the facilities are for light-duty vehicles instead of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

The new sites have been strategically located and built to suit the needs of LT vehicles with high utilization and uptime requirements. Combined, the additional sites add 294 charging stalls and 28 megawatts (MW) of capacity to Voltera’s expanding market presence.

“Voltera is dedicated to simplifying the transition to zero-emission transportation by providing fit-for-purpose charging infrastructure that meets the unique needs of our customers,” said Brett Hauser, CEO of Voltera. “The opening of these new light-duty charging facilities reflects the strong market demand we’re seeing from fleets, particularly in the light-duty space, where economics are driving rapid EV adoption. Our experience and access to capital allow us to deliver these facilities quickly and efficiently, enabling our customers to focus on their core operations.”
In California, the San Francisco and Santa Monica facilities have been expanded to reflect the local population's needs. The former site is a fully modern, three-story parking structure while the Santa Monica location can handle the charging needs in one of the largest metropolitan regions in the U.S.
Hopping over to the Lone Star State, two facilities have gone online in Austin and Dallas. The Austin site serves as a multi-use fleet operations hub that combines EV charging infrastructure with on-site vehicle maintenance bays, fleet management office space, and employee amenities, offering a centralized location for end-to-end fleet support.
Voltera says plans are in place to enter new markets, specifically Houston, Phoenix, and Miami. No timeline was provided but the future Miami site is set to be one of the company's largest LT depots with 79 DC fast chargers.
To date, Voltera has 20 US-based properties, a total power capacity of 115+ MW, and over $150 million invested and equity backing from energy company EQT.
