Russ Curry, Ministry of New Media

Volta Inc. (NYSE: VLTA) has announced the expansion of its collaboration with Walgreens to target installing 1,000 DC fast charging stalls at over 500 Walgreens throughout the U.S.

Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Volta told us “As we expand our DC Fast charging presence across the country, Walgreens is an ideal match for faster forms of Volta charging given the average time a Walgreens shopper typically spends in-store. Volta’s intelligent charging network is built around understanding and anticipating consumer behavior. The next phase of our work with Walgreens will provide people with a quick, convenient, and meaningful charge that is tailored to their shopping experience while bringing us another step closer to a clean energy future.”

Volta began working with Walgreens in 2019 and currently has stations across 49 of its stores.

Luke Kigel, vice president of Walgreens integrated media and leader of Walgreens Advertising Group was quoted as saying “Walgreens is committed to providing customers with new and different digital experiences alongside convenient solutions that help them lead healthier lives. Volta’s electric chargers allow Walgreens to seamlessly bring customers unique advertising and convenience experiences with eye-catching screens and quick, convenient charging to match their behavior, all while helping to build healthier communities through reducing vehicle emissions.”

This agreement furthers Volta’s DC Fast charging expansion strategy and Walgreens’ support of initiatives that lower emissions and make the planet healthier for communities everywhere.
