Vince Cubbage, Interim CEO, Volta, says, “Both Volta and Shell have a demonstrated ability to meet the changing needs of customers and this acquisition will bring that experience together to provide options that are needed as more drivers choose electric."
Volta Inc. has executed a definitive merger agreement under which Shell USA Inc., a subsidiary of Shell plc, will acquire Volta in an all-cash transaction. The transaction brings Volta's powerful dual charging and Media Poster network to Shell's established brand and seeks to unlock robust, long-term growth opportunities in EV charging.
