Volta
A suite of data products for a pioneer in electric vehicle charging.
Scaling design across a growing data platform.
Volta was a San Francisco–based startup that sold electric vehicle charging networks. Its advertising-based charging stations provided EV drivers with free, clean energy at over 1,400 locations across the United States.
Volta's Advanced Decision Intelligence (ADI) team asked me to redesign their suite of data applications and create a new design system to serve as the foundation for their future data products. Working closely with the ADI team, I led the redesign and launch of several Volta products, including:
- PredictEV, a SaaS product that energy utilities, municipalities, and fleet customers used to predict electric vehicle adoption and deploy charging infrastructure throughout the United States.
- PredictEV for Fleets, a prediction software tool built to solve the unique challenges of electrification and planning for fleets.
- OPTRA, a real-time data tool that field operators used to monitor and troubleshoot Volta's network of electric vehicle charging stations.
- Site Partner Portal, an analytics tool that allowed Volta's customers to track the usage of their stations and report the environmental and social benefits of their charging infrastructure.
Understanding network health.
Volta's Optra tool offers leadership and managers overall statistics that report the health of their stations. Optra is also used by Field Ops Specialists and Technicians, who manage day-to-day tasks in the field and need to diagnose station issues that must be triaged.
Understanding charging benefits.
Site Partner Portal allows Volta's customers to track the usage of their stations and report the environmental and social benefits of their charging infrastructure.
