HONOLULU – www.VoltaCharging.com – Volta Industries (Volta) today announced as of Nov. 1 it has given away over 62,000 miles of charging during more than 2,000 free charging sessions via its 10 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, part of the Volta Network.

“Thanks to our sponsors, EV drivers on Oahu have saved the equivalent of $10,000 in gasoline charges, offsetting enough CO2 to fill 10 Washington Monuments,” said Scott Mercer.  “With new stations being installed each month across Oahu, we expect that number to shoot even higher, to give away more than half a million miles in Hawaii in 2013.”
