Overview
Developer Bruce Volz chose to install EV charging at DC Station in Northampton to create a modern, sustainable fueling hub that meets growing demand for fast, convenient charging.
Inspired by his own EV experience, Volz designed the site to combine rapid Level 3 charging with solar power, local landscaping, and community amenities that make clean transportation both practical and enjoyable.
Working with Lynkwell made it possible to bring my vision for a modern, efficient fast-charging hub to life. Their expertise and collaborative approach helped turn DC Station into a model for what the future of EV fueling can look like—reliable, sustainable, and welcoming.
