VOLTIFY RENEWABLE ENERGY CHARGING
Lower energy cost for rail companies by transitioning them to renewable
About Us
Voltify is the first to make Zero-Emission rail economically feasible with zero operational changes.
Our solution was designed over a year of intensive collaboration with every department of the Class 1 railroads—
including operations, signaling, finance, servicing, maintenance, locomotives, engineering, etc.
After dozens of meetings and three major product pivots, we developed a solution that allows railroads to maintain
their current workflows while saving 20%+ on energy with no upfront investment.
This shift is possible because of the collapse in battery costs.
Cells that cost $313/kWh three years ago (during Alon’s previous 1GWh project) now cost us $114/kWh, with 2027
quotes at $70/kWh. This 75% price drop allows us to provide deep discounts to railroads while maintaining 20%–
30% margins.
What substitutes do people resort to?
Currently, there are no economically viable alternatives to diesel.
Diesel is the standard, but it accounts for 20%–30% of total OpEx and is highly volatile.
Hydrogen, despite the hype, remains significantly more expensive than diesel.
Even assuming ten years of technological breakthroughs ahead, hydrogen is only projected to reach parity with
diesel, which is already 4x more expensive than our solution today.
