Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the platform, pricing and launching your own powerbank sharing brand.
Getting started
The best way to start is a free demo: tell us your target cities, brand and planned station count, and we’ll walk you through the white-label app, dashboard and station software live on a quick call. You’ll get your hardware pricing and a plan recommendation for your market, and once you’re in, we brand, configure and go live in 20 days; branded hardware is produced to your design and delivered in about 4 to 5 weeks, depending on the destination. Fill in the demo form and we’ll get in touch within 24 hours.
From contract to live software takes 20 days. The rollout runs in four steps: days 1–3: kick-off, brand assets, pricing model and target cities; days 4–10: your app and dashboard are branded, configured and connected to your payments; days 8–16: we test end-to-end rentals on real units and share the software access with you; days 17–20: apps published, dashboard access provided, team trained, and your network opens for business. Branded hardware is produced to your design and delivered separately: lead times vary by destination, usually around 4 to 5 weeks.

Volt Technology is a European white-label powerbank sharing software company: the platform is engineered in the EU and battle-tested in production. It powers PowerRabbit, a live powerbank sharing network whose client app is built on Volt, so you launch on software that already runs a real network. You can try the PowerRabbit app on the App Store and Google Play to see it in action. Today the platform powers 150+ launched projects with more than 25,000 connected charging stations across 80+ cities worldwide.
Product and software
The platform is four pieces of software, fully white-labeled and ready to run: a polished iOS & Android client app for your customers, an admin dashboard to run the whole operation, the charging station software with built-in POS terminal support, and a branded marketing website for your service. Everything ships configured under your brand, EU-hosted, with updates and support included in every plan.
The client app is a polished iOS & Android app published fully under your own brand. Customers find stations on a live map with real-time availability, rent and return powerbanks with a QR scan, and pay in seconds with cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay. It also includes referrals, coupons and loyalty tools to help you grow.
The admin dashboard lets you run the entire operation from one screen: real-time revenue and analytics, custom pricing per location, station and powerbank monitoring, franchise & multi-operator support, and role-based access control for your team.
Yes, alongside the app, dashboard and station software, you get a branded marketing website for your service, so customers and venues can find you online under your own name from day one.
Your native apps go live on the App Store and Google Play under your own developer account, published under your name, with your branding. There is no Volt badge anywhere; customers see only your company.
Yes, every station can be equipped with an integrated POS terminal, so customers rent a powerbank with a simple card tap: contactless, chip and magstripe, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay at the terminal. No app download or sign-up needed. Perfect for tourists, events and high-traffic venues. Payment is authorised on the spot, the slot unlocks in seconds fully synced with your dashboard, and the PCI-compliant payment flow means no card data ever touches your servers.
Customers can pay however they want: every major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, digital wallets and bank transfer, and with the optional POS terminal, directly by card at the station. You can turn payment methods on or off per market and per brand, you connect your own payment account, and the money goes to you: Volt takes no revenue share.
Volt is 100% white-label: there is no “Volt” badge anywhere on your product. Your logo, name, colors and copy run across the app stores, the customer app, the admin dashboard and the stations themselves. The native apps are published on the App Store and Google Play under your own developer account, you set your own tariffs and connect your own payment account, customers see your company, and you own the relationship and the revenue.
Volt partners with the leading powerbank sharing hardware provider, so you launch on reliable, field-tested stations already deployed across thousands of live locations. Through the partnership you get fixed factory-direct pricing on 8, 12, 24 and 48-slot stations, including POS-terminal-ready models, pre-flashed with Volt software, quality-checked, warrantied, and with EU import & logistics support. One point of contact for hardware, software and logistics. Prices: 8-slot at €250, 12-slot at €350, the 24-slot tower at €850 and the 48-slot tower at €1250 per unit. Optional POS terminals cost €59 per unit. The Hardware page now shows the complete lineup with photos and specifications, grouped by slot count: counter-top stations from 4 to 24 slots (with screen, Touch + POS, card-reader, NFC, locker and stackable variants), floor-standing towers from 24 to 216 slots (POS, touch-screen, ambient-light, outdoor and multi-cabinet combos) and four powerbank models (6000 mAh with LED logo or standard, and a fast-charging 8000 mAh). Delivery: hardware is produced with your branding and shipped to your destination, usually within about 4 to 5 weeks depending on the country.
Pricing and business
Volt uses simple monthly pricing based on how many charging stations you run: Micro covers up to 5 stations for €195/month, Mini covers up to 20 stations for €390/month, Growth covers up to 100 stations for €550/month, Advanced covers up to 500 stations for €890/month, and Enterprise gives you unlimited stations, priced on request. Every plan is fully white-label and EU-hosted, with updates and support included, and there is no revenue share and no hidden fees: 100% of your rental revenue stays yours. Hardware is a separate one-time purchase: 8-slot at €250, 12-slot at €350, 24-slot tower at €850, 48-slot tower at €1250. Billing is monthly, quarterly, semi-yearly or yearly: quarterly billing lowers the monthly price to €165 (Micro), €330 (Mini), €470 (Growth) and €750 (Advanced), semi-yearly billing to €145, €290, €410 and €670, yearly billing to €125, €250, €350 and €580.
No. Volt takes no revenue share, no commission and no hidden fees. Ever. You pay a flat monthly subscription based on your station count, you connect your own payment account, and 100% of your rental revenue stays yours.
You set your own tariffs: pricing per rental, caps and rules are fully under your control, configurable per location from the admin dashboard. You connect your own payment account, so 100% of rental revenue is yours; Volt only charges the flat monthly software fee. For real numbers, the blog covers rental pricing strategies and what one station really earns. You can also try the interactive ROI calculator to model your own scenario.
Yes, the unit economics are strong. Hardware is a one-time purchase starting at €250 per station, you keep 100% of rental revenue, and the only recurring cost is the flat monthly software fee. A typical starter setup of 10 compact stations (about €2,500) pays for itself in roughly 2 months and brings around €1,700 net per month at 4 to 5 rentals per station a day. Try your own numbers in the interactive ROI calculator.
Yes, the platform is built for scaling beyond a single operation. Multi-location pricing is included in every plan, and the Advanced and Enterprise plans add full franchise & multi-operator support, an online invoicing system and custom integrations. For multi-country deployment with subscriptions and AI-powered dashboard analytics, Enterprise is the right fit. The blog also covers choosing between franchise and direct operating models in Europe.
Every plan includes software updates, online chat and an SLA of 99.8% or higher, with European-grade service: real engineers, clear communication and fast response, no offshore gap. On top of that, every plan comes with monthly operational support and strategy development hours: up to 3 hours on Mini, up to 5 on Growth, dedicated support with up to 8 on Advanced and up to 16 on Enterprise. Operations support is available 24/7, and the team also helps you develop your strategy: locations, tariffs and growth, drawing on real partner experience.
Volt is GDPR-compliant by design: customer data is handled in line with EU privacy law from day one, not patched in later. All infrastructure is hosted inside the European Union, and the platform is engineered in Europe to European standards. Payment flows are PCI-compliant, so card data never touches your servers.
You can find our legal documents right here on the site: the Privacy Policy explains what data we collect through the demo form and how we handle it under GDPR, and the Terms & Conditions cover use of this website and demo requests.
The Volt blog, “Insights on powerbank sharing”, has practical guides for operators: launching your first city, choosing venues that keep stations busy, pricing tariffs, unit economics of a station, franchise vs. direct models, payments in Europe, negotiating with malls and bars, choosing hardware, the 2026 European market window, and event deployments.
Common concerns
Fair question, and it deserves a straight answer. Powerbank sharing is a proven model, not an experiment: Asia validated it at massive scale, Europe is still in its growth phase, and that gap is exactly the opportunity. The economics are easy to check for yourself: hardware from €250 per station, 100% of rental revenue stays yours, one flat monthly software fee, and a typical 10-station starter setup pays for itself in roughly 2 months. You would not be launching alone either: the platform already powers 150+ launched projects. Run your own numbers in the ROI calculator, and if they look good for your city, book a demo and we will pressure-test your plan together.
Feeling cautious before investing is healthy, so let's look at what the risk actually is. Powerbank sharing is one of the lower-risk physical businesses to start: a 10-station starter kit is about €2,500, there is no perishable stock and no staff needed on day one, and the software fee is flat and predictable. Crucially, stations are movable: if a venue underperforms, you relocate the station instead of losing the investment. Start small, let the numbers prove themselves, then scale. Model a pessimistic scenario in the ROI calculator, and the team will help you pick low-risk first locations based on what already works in 150+ live projects.
It is much earlier than it feels. Powerbank sharing in Europe is still in its land-grab phase: outside a few capitals, most cities, venues and events have no service at all, and even where a competitor exists, coverage is usually thin. Being local is a genuine edge: you know the venues, you service stations faster, and venues prefer a partner who answers the phone. And because the platform is white-label, you build your own brand in your market rather than renting someone else's. Tell us your target city on a quick call and we will give you an honest read of the competitive landscape there.
The fear of empty stations is the most common one, and the honest answer is: demand follows dead batteries, and placement decides everything. Bars, festivals, transit hubs, beaches, stadiums, malls: in the right venue a station rents on autopilot, in the wrong one it does not. That is why the team helps you choose locations using data from 150+ live projects instead of guessing. The math stays friendly too: even a modest 4 to 5 rentals per station a day makes the model profitable, and the app plus the card-tap POS terminal capture both planned and impulse rentals.
You do not need a tech background or previous experience: removing that barrier is exactly what the platform is for. The apps, payments, station software and dashboard are ready on day one, guided onboarding is included in every plan, and support answers with real engineers. Your job is the business side: relationships with venues, visibility, service. The dashboard is built for non-technical operators, and many partners started this alongside a full-time job and scaled from there. If you can talk to a venue owner, you can run this.
Powerbank sharing is not a fad; it is infrastructure for a habit that keeps growing. Screens got bigger, 5G drains faster, and batteries still die by evening: people charge in public more every year, not less. Asia proved the model at massive scale, and Europe is years behind on coverage, which means years of growth still ahead. The blog has a market overview with the numbers if you want to dig deeper, and the ROI calculator turns the trend into something concrete: what it means in your city.
