Dead battery?
Not here.
VoltStation puts powerbanks in the bars, cafés, and shops you're already in. Grab one when you need it. Return it wherever. No cables, no deposit.
For Locations
Your visitors are already here.
Their phones aren't going to last.
In August 2026 we're placing 70 stations across Groningen, in the spots where people actually hang out. Give them a reason to stay longer and come back.
Full battery, longer night
A dead battery ends a night out early. Customers who can top up stay for another round.
Wi-Fi used to be a selling point. Charging is next.
The venues that offered Wi-Fi first stood out. Now it's a given. Powerbanks are at that same point, and the places that move first get noticed.
Zero cost, zero effort.
We supply the hardware, install it, maintain it, and handle the customers. You provide a 230V outlet and a counter spot. That's the entire ask.
New visitors find you through the app
Your venue is listed in the VoltStation app. When someone nearby needs a powerbank, they see you on the map. Free visibility, to people already close enough to walk in.
Your customers live on their phones
Students, shoppers, people on a night out. They're all watching their battery percentage. Keep them at your place instead of letting them wander off to find an outlet.
You get paid on every rental. Automatically.
Every time someone rents from your station, you earn a cut. It's passive income from foot traffic you already have. No investment required.
Want one in your venue?
Free hardware, and a share of every rental. We handle the rest. Reaching out takes 30 seconds and commits you to nothing.
By the Numbers
The network, in plain figures.
From the Binnenstad and Zernike to Paddepoel and Beijum.
Eight bays per station, charged and ready when you get there.
Full top-up in under an hour. No adapter needed.
How It Works
Tap, scan, charge.
It takes seconds.
One tap. Every station.
Open the app. Every VoltStation in Groningen appears on the map. Pick whichever one is closest.
Scan. It pops out.
Point your phone at the station. Three seconds later a powerbank is in your hand. Lightning and USB-C already built in.
Always one close by.
See available powerbanks, free bays, walking distance, and opening hours for every spot. Never chase an outlet again.
A dashboard for hosts.
One dashboard for your rentals, your earnings and your station. It runs on 4G and needs no maintenance.
The Network
70 stations. One city.
We're building Groningen's first shared powerbank grid: a full city network from day one. Wherever you end up, there's a VoltStation nearby.
We're finalising the first 70 launch locations. __ spots are still open, and they're going quickly.
We're selecting the first 70 launch locations now.

You don't plan for a dead battery. VoltStation is already on the counter when it happens.
Eight percent battery, halfway through a three-hour study session. Grab a VoltStation from the counter. Problem solved, coffee still hot.
Maps, payments, parking. Your phone is doing a lot. Don't let a dead battery kill your afternoon.
No battery means no ride home and no group chat. Grab a powerbank before you hit the next place.
