"When I started Volta, I had a vision for building a company that would support the multi-generational shift to electric mobility," said Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Volta. "As I now see a growing slate of iconic vehicles attracting new EV drivers, I have even greater conviction in the mission of Volta. Continuing to build and operate convenient, reliable and accessible public charging is servicing continually increasing public demand, while also aligning with the core business objectives of our partners. As we greet our next chapter as a public company, I am excited about the future, look forward to our next accomplishments, and I am grateful to every employee, investor, client and driver who has supported us over the last eleven years to reach this pivotal point."

Founded on the premise that the electrification of mobility is likely to be a transformational shift, Volta builds and operates a nationwide EV charging network that has among the best utilization per station in the EV charging industry for the United States. Centered around capturing new spending habits expected to result from the shift to electric vehicles, the Company seeks to transform the fueling industry by building open-network charging stations in locations where drivers already spend their time and money, including grocery stores, pharmacies and other retail locations.
沃爾塔成立的前提是，移動性的電氣化可能是一次革命性的轉變，它建立並運營着一個全國性的電動汽車充電網絡，該網絡的每個站點的利用率在美國電動汽車充電行業中名列前茅。圍繞捕捉轉向電動汽車預計將帶來的新消費習慣，該公司尋求通過在司機已經花費時間和金錢的地點(包括雜貨店、藥店和其他零售地點)建立開放網絡充電站來改變燃油行業。
"We firmly believe we have invested in the best charging company in the business," said Vince Cubbage, CEO and Chairman of TortoiseCorp II. "Volta is run by an exceptional founder-led team, with the most compelling business model in the industry and an attractive valuation for shareholders. Volta's business model enables the Company to generate revenue from the moment its stations are installed and positions the Company to also capture additional revenue streams as the EV market expands and matures."
TortoiseCorp II首席執行官兼董事長文斯·庫貝奇説：“我們堅信，我們已經投資了業內最好的充電公司。”沃爾塔由一個傑出的創始人領導的團隊運營，擁有業內最具吸引力的商業模式和對股東具有吸引力的估值。沃爾塔的商業模式使本公司能夠從其加油站安裝的那一刻起就產生收入，並使本公司在電動汽車市場擴大和成熟時也能獲得更多的收入來源。“
Mercer will continue as Chief Executive Officer of Volta, overseeing its vision and evolution, and Chris Wendel will continue as President.
