History
- Main article: DEWmocracy
Voltage was designed by Mountain Dew fans during the first phase of DEWmocracy I, and was released over the summer of 2008 to compete with Supernova and Revolution to become a permanent flavor. In August, voting had ended and Voltage was announced the winner, holding 41% of the votes.

Diet Voltage was created in 2011 for FanDEWmonium, and was a finalist, meaning it had a limited release to stores alongside Diet Supernova. Diet Supernova was announced the winner, with Voltage holding 45% of the votes.
In 2011, Voltage was released in New Zealand, but was given the name "Electro Shock" and described as having a "charge of wild berry flavor." It is commonly mistaken to be a different flavor than Voltage, but the two are in fact the same flavor.
