Exhibit 99.1

Volta Continues Its European Expansion With New Signings and Installations in Switzerland, Germany, and France
February 08, 2022 08:30 AM Eastern Standard Time
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volta Inc. (NYSE: VLTA), the industry leader in commerce and people-centric electric vehicle ("EV") charging, today provided an update on its activities in key European markets, highlighting new contracts for the installation of DC Fast and AC (Level 2) charging stations in the region, and the inaugural installation of Volta stalls at a retail location in France.
Volta has signed partnership deals with the global sporting goods chain Decathlon, starting in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and the movie theatre company Cineplex Group in Germany. Volta also recently celebrated the installation of its first charging stations in France at the popular restaurant Key West near Annecy. The company will continue to work with commercial properties and retail locations to bring charging stations to additional sites in Europe in the coming months.
"Europe continues to be a top priority in our expansion strategy, and it's been encouraging to see such a positive response from the market as we continue to connect clean miles to commerce and help our partners meet their business and climate goals," said Chris Wendel, Co-Founder and President of Volta. "Our intelligent charging network is built around understanding and guiding the ongoing shifts in consumer and driver behavior, which means better outcomes for businesses and shoppers alike. We look forward to continuing to grow our European footprint and cultivating more mutually-beneficial partnerships with our retail, commercial, and media partners along the way."
With high-impact, large-format digital screens located near the entrances of popular commercial properties and retail locations, Volta stations simultaneously serve as a demand-pull for EV adoption, attract loyal customers to sites, and allow brands to reach shoppers seconds before they enter a store to make a purchase. The build-out of Volta’s network is powered by best-in-class behavioral science and machine learning technology, allowing the company to deploy infrastructure intelligently and efficiently.
"My clients have adopted Volta's unique charging stations very quickly and enthusiastically," said Grégory Sabatier, Owner of Key West. "As soon as they turned on, customers showed satisfaction with the charging experience, while the advertising model aroused real interest in terms of local communication. I am very proud to be the first French site deployed with the Volta EU team."
Volta's Europe expansion is driven by experienced local teams of EV charging hardware and software engineers, SaaS experts, and digital outdoor media sales leaders operating out of initial offices in Berlin and Paris.

VOLTA ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION EXPANSION WITH WALGREENS
Volta to target installing 1,000 DC fast charging stalls at over 500 Walgreens throughout the U.S.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 14, 2022 – Volta Inc. (NYSE: VLTA), the industry leader in commerce and people-centric electric vehicle ("EV") charging, today announced the expansion of its collaboration with Walgreens to target installing 1,000 DC (direct current) fast charging stalls at over 500 Walgreens throughout the U.S.
Volta provides seamless, universal, and reliable EV charging – centered on consumer behavior – located where people live, shop, work, and play. With unique charging stations that connect clean miles to commerce, Volta's intelligent network is among the most utilized in the U.S. Volta began working with Walgreens in 2019 and currently has stations across 49 of its stores.
"As we expand our DC Fast charging presence across the country, Walgreens is an ideal match for faster forms of Volta charging given the average time a Walgreens shopper typically spends in-store," said Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Volta. "Volta's intelligent charging network is built around understanding and anticipating consumer behavior. The next phase of our work with Walgreens will provide people with a quick, convenient, and meaningful charge that is tailored to their shopping experience while bringing us another step closer to a clean energy future."
With high-impact, large-format digital screens, Volta stations also double as an innovative, digital out-of-home advertising opportunity, allowing brands to reach shoppers seconds before they enter a store to make a purchase – simultaneously driving measurable business results and environmental impact. This unique functionality will be leveraged by Walgreens Advertising Group.
"Walgreens is committed to providing customers with new and different digital experiences alongside convenient solutions that help them lead healthier lives," said Luke Kigel, vice president of Walgreens integrated media and leader of Walgreens Advertising Group. "Volta's electric chargers allow Walgreens to seamlessly bring customers unique advertising and convenience experiences with eye-catching screens and quick, convenient charging to match their behavior, all while helping to build healthier communities through reducing vehicle emissions."
This agreement furthers Volta’s DC Fast charging expansion strategy and Walgreens’ support of initiatives that lower emissions and make the planet healthier for communities everywhere.
