Dead battery?
Not here.
VoltStation is at places around Groningen you already visit. Rent a power bank in the app, take it with you, and return it later to any VoltStation with an open slot.
Offer your visitors power banks as an added service.
We're rolling out 70 VoltStations across Groningen. Customers rent through the app, we install and maintain the station, and you earn from paid rentals that start at your location.
Full battery, longer night
Customers do not need to stay next to a power outlet or borrow a cable. They pick up a power bank and take it with them.
No chargers to lend out
Customers handle the rental themselves in the app. Staff do not need to lend out cables or chargers or keep customers' phones behind the counter.
No equipment or maintenance costs
We supply, install and maintain the station. You provide a suitable visible spot, power and keep the station accessible during opening hours.
Your venue appears in the app
Users can see your location, opening hours and station on the map when they look for a nearby VoltStation.
No Wi-Fi or IT setup
The station connects over 4G, so you do not need to connect it to your Wi-Fi network or configure an IT connection.
You get paid on every rental. Automatically.
You earn from each paid rental that starts at your station. Your partner account shows the rentals and earnings for your location.

Open the VoltStation app, choose a nearby station and scan the QR code. The power bank pops out and you can take it with you straight away.
