Driving EV Adoption Through Reliable OEM  Charging Solutions

EV adoption is no longer a question of “if”; it’s about how quickly and profitable it can be. For automotive OEMs, the shift to electric vehicles is being driven not just by sustainability goals, but by economics: sales growth, market share, and long-term customer loyalty.

But there’s a significant challenge standing in the way: charging infrastructure. Without reliable, strategically located, high-powered charging sites, both consumer and commercial EV rollouts are at risk, impacting revenue, brand perception, and customer satisfaction.

The Infrastructure Gap Facing OEMs

OEMs excel at designing, engineering, and selling vehicles. However, developing, funding, and operating charging networks is a completely different business model, one that is capital-intensive, time consuming, and highly dependent on utility capacity.

Common challenges include:

·     Dealer limitations– Many dealerships lack the space or power for commercial or high-throughput charging.

·     Public networks that miss the mark– Many are not optimized for brand experience or fleet operations.

·     Capital constraints– Building proprietary networks ties up resources and slows core business growth.

·     Timeline mismatches– Vehicle production schedules often outpace utility interconnection timelines.

For vehicle owners, this means fewer places to charge, inconsistent experiences, and potential hesitation to go electric, which results in the biggest roadblock for EV adoption at scale.

Voltera’s Role: Enabling OEMs to Deliver Charging Where It Matters

Voltera is not a charger manufacturer or a generic public network. We are a strategic infrastructure partner that acquires the real estate, designs, funds, builds, and operates branded or co-branded charging sites, aligned to OEM product roadmaps and customer locations.

We remove guesswork at every milestone: from pre-launch planning to post-sale support. Our approach ensures that charging comes online as vehicles hit the road.

How We Help OEMs Scale Consumer and Commercial Charging

1. Fit-for-Purpose Sites

From urban consumer hubs to fleet depots, we develop in locations that match OEM sales and operational priorities: near dealerships, along major highways, or in logistics corridors.

2. Full Capital Investment

We fund land, construction, and power infrastructure, removing the financial burden of network build-out and upfront investments.

3. Speed to Market

Our pre-powered national site portfolio, utility relationships, and fast-track permitting strategies mean fewer delays and predictable rollout timelines.

4. Branded Experience

We deliver high-quality, consistent charging experiences that reflect an OEM’s brand, enhancing loyalty and post-sale engagement for both consumer drivers and fleet operators.

5. Flexible Deployment Models

Whether on OEM-owned land, dealer sites, or new third-party locations, we tailor solutions to your network strategy that speed EV adoption.

Consumer and Commercial Scenarios We Support

·     Consumer EV Hubs– Branded highway or urban sites offering premium driver amenities and fast charging.

·     Dealer Network Integration– Charging solutions co-located with dealerships to support vehicle prep, delivery, and customer confidence.

·     Fleet Hubs Near Dealerships– For light- and medium-duty fleet customers buying through OEM channels.

·     Urban Last-Mile Fleet Sites– High-throughput locations for delivery and rideshare operators.

·     Middle-Mile Corridor Charging– Strategic charging stops along freight and logistics routes.

Why OEMs Choose Voltera

Successful EV adoption depends on more than vehicle readiness; it requires timely, reliable, and brand-aligned infrastructure.

With Voltera, OEMs gain:

·     Faster market entry– Avoiding permitting and utility bottlenecks.

·     Reduced risk– We absorb the capital and development challenges.

·     Scalable growth– Deploy sites nationwide without diverting focus from vehicle design and sales.
