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 deposits, no stress.
For Locations
Your visitors are already here.
Their phones aren't going to last.
We're putting 70 stations across Groningen on 25 April 2026. In the spots where people actually hang out. Give them a reason to stay longer. And come back.
They stay longer when their phone isn't dying
A dead battery ends a night out early. A charged one doesn't. Customers who can top up stick around. And spend more while they do.
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. Powerbank access is following the same path. The early spots get the attention.
Zero cost, zero effort. Seriously.
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. You don't have to do anything for that.
Your customers live on their phones
Students, shoppers, nightlife. They're all watching their battery percentage. Keep them at your place instead of wandering off to find a wall outlet.
You get paid. Per 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. Revenue on every rental. We handle everything. Takes 30 seconds to reach out. No commitment.
By the numbers
The network, in plain figures.
Covering the Binnenstad, Zernike, Ebbingekwartier and everywhere in between.
Eight bays per station. Always one available, always charged, always nearby.
Full top-up in under an hour. Built-in Lightning and USB-C. No adapter, no fumble.
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 the one closest to your couch, your bar, your lecture hall.
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 live availability, walking distance, and opening hours for every spot. Never chase an outlet again.
A dashboard for hosts.
Track rentals, monitor earnings, manage your station. All in one place. Cloud-managed, 4G-connected, zero maintenance.
The Network
70 stations. One city. Always close by.
We're building Groningen's first shared powerbank grid. Not one or two stations, but a full city network. Wherever you end up, there's a VoltStation nearby.
We're finalising the first wave of 70 launch locations. 38 spots still open. And filling fast.
Stations placed in:

Plugs into a standard outlet. No Wi-Fi setup, no networking, no IT. Cloud-managed, real-time monitored. Roughly the size of a small bread basket.
For Users
Your phone picks the worst moments to die. We noticed.
VoltStation is just… there. In the places you go. When you actually need it.
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 Uber, no group chat, no getting home in one piece. Grab a powerbank before you hit the next place.
Between lectures, no outlet, charger at home. Classic. VoltStation is in the library, the café, the gym.
