Volta
48 open jobsGeneral information
Volta Charging built and operated electric vehicle charging stations across the United States. Charging at its stations was typically free, because the business made its money from advertising shown on the chargers instead of charging fees. By September 2021, Volta had deployed more than 2,000 charging stations across twenty-three states. The company was based in San Francisco, California.
Volta was founded in Hawaii in 2010 by Scott Mercer, Christopher Ching, Michael Menendez, and Chris Wendel. Shell USA bought the company for about $169 million in March 2023, then announced in August 2025 that it would shut down operations. That history matters for anyone looking at the company now: it went from an independent startup to part of a large oil company, and is now winding down. Volta is an H-1B sponsor.1
