V2G-ready hardware, with solar and dynamic-tariff charging through Plugchoice.

How we got here

The milestones from 2019 to today.

Volt Time in 2019: A Vision is Born
2019

A Vision is Born

Three friends had worked in EV charging since 2014, installing and supporting other manufacturers' hardware. Fed up with unreliable chargers, lacking software and slow manufacturer support, they started Volt Time to build the hardware, software and support they had been missing.

We knew exactly what installers needed, because we were installers ourselves.

Development Begins

Development of our first charger started, with design decisions drawn from years of installation work. Certification began and the first partnerships formed.

Volt Time in 2022: Source Launches
2022

Source Launches

Our first charger, the "Source", launched, produced in Arnhem by a social workplace. Installers noticed it was designed by people who had done installations themselves.

Built by installers, for installers.

Volt Time in 2023: Source 2 & Cloud
2023

Source 2 & Cloud

We launched Source 2 with major improvements for installers, along with our software platform, then called "Volt Time Cloud". Hardware plus our own software brought the first 50 installation partners on board.

Volt Time in 2024: Scaling Up
2024

Scaling Up

We moved production to VDL Assembly in Weert. Source 2s launched as an improvement, and at the end of the year we introduced One, the charger that became our bestseller.

2025

Amsterdam & Beyond

We moved to a new Amsterdam office and outsourced logistics to keep up with One's demand. Development of Two Pro started, and "Volt Time Cloud" was rebranded to "Plugchoice".

By 2025, thousands of chargers across Europe ran on the platform.

Two Pro Ships, AFIR Era Begins

Two Pro is now shipping across Europe: a dual-socket charger for professional parking installations, pre-paired to Plugchoice from the moment the backplate is on the wall.

Dutch Software Design

We design and support our products from Amsterdam. When you call, you reach someone who knows your charger and speaks your language.
