Voltra announces $1.8M pre-seed to rewire the North American electrical grid

Voltra is reshaping the future of energy infrastructure. With energy demands accelerating, traditional grids are struggling to keep pace. Instead of relying on large-scale utilities, Voltra is building from the edge and unlocking smarter, more responsive power solutions.

Backed by a $1.8 million USD pre-seed round led by Contrary, with Hanover Capital and Velocity Fund participating, Voltra is launching Charge, a unified API platform that simplifies control of EV chargers, batteries, and microgrids.

The vision? A modular, developer-first approach that transforms energy assets into flexible, scalable software solutions. With Charge, fleet operators, condo developments, and microgrid integrators can break free from outdated control systems and vendor lock-in. Voltra is taking cues from Stripe, making the “hard stuff” simple and paving the way for programmable energy infrastructure.

It's a reimagining of the electrical grid, and this is just the beginning. By expanding beyond EV chargers to storage, industrial controls, and the broader distribution network, Voltra is creating a smarter, more resilient energy future.
