Voltu Motor Launches AC Fast-Charging Network for Heavy-Duty Electric Trucks

Voltu Motor introduced its Voltu Charging Network alongside the 2027 Voltu3 heavy-duty electric truck, combining vehicle technology, expanded charging access, and online ordering in an integrated commercial electrification offering.

The 2027 Voltu3 features AC fast-charging capability that can recharge the vehicle in as little as 30 minutes at a customer’s location, depending on available electrical service and battery conditions. Both the fully equipped Voltu3 and work-focused Voltu3 Work models offer up to 200 kW of onboard fast-charging capability without requiring a conventional external DC fast charger.

Every 2027 Voltu3 includes a Voltu Power Outlet hardware kit that enables additional fast charging through suitable three-phase electrical service. A certified electrician can install the outlet, with any necessary electrical service upgrades evaluated separately. The trucks also retain compatibility with conventional DC fast-charging stations.

Voltu’s patented bidirectional inverter architecture repurposes existing propulsion components to handle power conversion while the vehicle is parked. This approach moves high-power charging technology onboard, potentially reducing dependence on traditional DC charging stations and expanding charging opportunities at fleet depots and customer facilities.

The company also plans to expand its public charging network alongside vehicle deliveries. For every Voltu3 delivered, Voltu will deploy one public charging outlet within the following 12 months.

The company also introduced an online configurator that allows customers to customize and order the 2027 Voltu3. Financing options are available for qualified buyers.

Voltu Chief Commercial Officer Juan Ignacio Artola said the truck combines commercial performance, operational uptime, and potential fuel savings of up to $13,000 annually, depending on usage and operating conditions.

Voltu Motor Develops Heavy-Duty Electric Trucks With Innovative Fast-Charging Technology

Voltu Motor is developing a new approach to commercial vehicle electrification with its Voltu3, an all-electric heavy-duty pickup designed for demanding work applications. The company’s technology combines electric propulsion, onboard power conversion, energy storage, and flexible charging capabilities.

The Voltu3 also offers mobile energy capabilities, allowing operators to power work tools and equipment directly from the truck. Its vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology can deliver up to 200 kW of charging power to another Voltu vehicle.

Designed to accommodate commercial upfits, the electric platform preserves the dimensions and interfaces needed for specialized equipment and work configurations.

Voltu also emphasizes ownership support through warranty coverage, service, authorized dealers, and fleet assistance. The company offers fleet guidance covering vehicle requirements, duty cycles, charging infrastructure, procurement, financing, and deployment.

By integrating the truck and charging technology, Voltu Motor aims to make heavy-duty fleet electrification more practical while reducing dependence on traditional charging infrastructure.
