Volta Power Systems, a mobile energy storage company, is hosting a rally for RV technology enthusiasts looking to camp off-grid with green energy. Taking place Aug. 4-7 in Holland, Michigan, and dubbed the Volta CAMPOUT, the event will rally RVers and Volta-users around the company’s energy storage technology with a combination of events, including training seminars, outdoor adventures, a pub crawl, and a “Powered-by-Volta” concert with musician Jason Walsmith.
Volta’s power systems allow RVers to eliminate generators while camping or boondocking.
“We’re excited to bring all these people together to rally around this tech that’s had such a huge impact on the lives of so many van enthusiasts,” said Jack Johnson, chief technology officer and co-founder of Volta Power Systems. “This is the first time we’ve hosted an event like this for end-users, and we’re pretty sure this is the first event of this type bringing together Volta-lovers with RVs from any manufacturer. The support has been incredible!”
So far, more than 50 Volta-equipped vans have signed up to attend the event, each one capable of running A/C, 120V appliances, entertainment and more without using a generator or plugging into shore power. Conservative estimates show that in the one long weekend that attendees plan to congregate, Volta’s systems will prevent approximately 28,000 pounds of CO2 from entering the atmosphere from what traditionally would require generators.
The company said that in total, there are nearly 5,000 Volta-equipped vehicles on the road to date, and estimates show approximately 23 million pounds of carbon emissions mitigated annually from Volta systems that are eliminating auxiliary generators on those vehicles.
