Volta Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend its original Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-K”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2022, to amend the certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to include paragraph 4(b) as required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

This Amendment contains only the Cover Page to this Amendment, this Explanatory Note, Item 15, the Signature Page, and the certifications attached to this Amendment as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K.
