Austin is one of America's fastest-growing EV markets — home to Tesla's Gigafactory, 300+ days of sun, and a city built for what's next. VoltShare connects Austin EV drivers with local solar homeowners. $5 for 30 minutes of clean, local energy.
Join Austin Early AccessAustin is home to Tesla's largest factory and one of the highest concentrations of Tesla owners in the country. Charging infrastructure hasn't kept up — VoltShare fills the gap with neighbors helping neighbors.
Austin Energy has been a national leader in solar incentives for years. Thousands of Austin homes already have solar panels — many generating more energy than they use. VoltShare puts that surplus to work.
Austin averages over 300 sunny days annually — meaning Austin solar hosts have surplus energy to share almost every day of the year. More sun means more charging opportunities for EV drivers.
Austin has one of the most tech-forward populations in the US. EV registrations in Travis County have grown faster than almost any other major metro. The audience is here — the infrastructure just needs to catch up.
Austin homeowners with solar panels sign up as VoltShare hosts. When their panels produce more than they need — which in Austin is most days — they open their charger to local EV drivers. Instead of sending it back to the grid for pennies, they earn $5 per session.
EV drivers in Austin find available VoltShare hosts nearby. Pull up, plug in, charge for 30 minutes with 100% solar energy from a neighbor. Works with Tesla, Level 2 (J1772), and any EV on the road.
Hosts earn money from energy they'd otherwise waste. Drivers get cheaper, cleaner charging than any commercial station. And Austin gets a smarter, more distributed energy grid — one driveway at a time.
