ChargeHub announces that ChargeHub Plus, its EV charging membership, is now available on Android. First introduced to iOS users, the membership has been embraced by early members looking for a simpler, more predictable way to charge on public networks. ChargeHub is now expanding that access to Android drivers across North America.

ChargeHub consolidates charging stations from multiple networks in one app, one place to find, activate, and pay, without juggling accounts. ChargeHub Plus builds on that foundation: for one fixed monthly or annual price, members see their per-session roaming fee waived for charging sessions across 40+ compatible networks in the US and Canada. 
The ChargeHub app remains free, with its full suite of tools for locating, filtering, trip planning, navigation, and paying to charge at stations across multiple networks. ChargeHub Plus is an optional add-on for drivers who regularly charge on public networks and want to eliminate per-session roaming fees.

The membership is currently available in two options: a monthly plan and an annual plan, offering flexibility for drivers with different usage patterns. Both plans are available through the ChargeHub app and can be managed on iOS and Android.

"Since launching ChargeHub Plus on iOS, we've seen that drivers who charge frequently on different public networks genuinely value the simplicity and economy of one membership across multiple networks. Expanding to Android means that convenience is now available to even more drivers, wherever they charge across North America."
— Simon Ouellette, CEO, ChargeHub

K2 Pure Solutions and PACC Services, LLC announced a Hydrogen Supply Agreement (HSA) with ZeroUp Energy, Inc., a California-based hydrogen solutions provider focused on transitioning public and private fleets to clean, zero-emission fuels. The agreement will provide ZeroUp with a dedicated supply of low-carbon hydrogen from K2's chlor-alkali facility in Pittsburg, California, supporting ZeroUp's mobile fueling deployments for transit agencies across Northern and Southern California.

The agreement carries particular significance in the context of California's Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation, which requires public transit agencies to transition their bus fleets to zero-emission technologies and mandates the use of renewable fuels for agencies operating fuel cell electric buses. K2's low-carbon hydrogen will be produced via a pathway targeted to meet the renewable fuel standards of the ICT framework, addressing one of the most persistent barriers to fuel cell bus adoption at scale across California.

ZeroUp brings more than a decade of direct hydrogen fueling, fuel-cell vehicle support, and station operations experience to public transit programs across California. The company currently supplies hydrogen to Omnitrans in San Bernardino under a multi-year contract and is actively engaged with agencies such as the Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StanRTA), which is deploying fuel cell electric buses and requires a mobile hydrogen fueling solution ahead of revenue service. In both cases, a locally sourced, low-carbon hydrogen supply at competitive economics is central to making those programs work.

"Transit agencies need supply they can count on at a price point that actually works - and when that supply is produced on a pathway targeted to meet California's renewable fuel standards under the ICT regulation, it removes a real compliance headache for them," said Jonathan Palacios-Avila, Executive at ZeroUp Energy. "K2 is a proven producer with a track record of reliability, and their hydrogen will meet the quality and carbon intensity standards that transit programs require. This agreement gives us the supply foundation to grow our fueling programs in both Northern and Southern California and deliver what agencies like Omnitrans and StanRTA are counting on us to deliver."

Hydrogen produced at K2's Pittsburg facility is generated as a byproduct of its existing chlor-alkali manufacturing process, an inherently low-carbon production pathway that requires no natural gas reforming or standalone electrolysis infrastructure. The hydrogen consistently will meet or exceed SAE J2719 purity standards required for fuel cell vehicle applications. K2's facility is targeting commercial availability in Q3 2026, with PACC Services serving as exclusive commercial partner responsible for contracting, logistics coordination, and supply chain management.

"ZeroUp has the operational experience and the agency relationships to put hydrogen to work on the ground where it matters," said Howard Brodie, CEO of K2 Pure Solutions. "Our facility was built on decades of operational excellence and process safety, and our hydrogen will be produced on a low-carbon pathway we believe is targeted to meet California's renewable fuel standards. That is a meaningful credential for the transit agencies ZeroUp serves, and it is something we will earn through the way we operate. This is exactly the kind of collaboration our hydrogen program was designed to support."

"The ICT regulation creates real, durable demand for low-carbon hydrogen across California's transit sector, and transit agencies need supply partners who can deliver on both the compliance and the economics," said Andrew Carman, Chief Executive Officer of PACC Services. "K2's targeted low-carbon production pathway, paired with ZeroUp's field experience and PACC's commercial infrastructure, is exactly the kind of integrated supply chain those agencies have been waiting for. We structured this agreement to support programs that are running today and scale as California's FCEB fleet grows."

The ZeroUp HSA adds to PACC's growing portfolio of committed offtake collaborations ahead of K2's planned commercial launch and reflects PACC's role as the commercial bridge between K2's production capacity and the end-use markets that need it most.

Electrify America opened a new large-format electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Santa Barbara, Calif., expanding access to fast, seamless and convenient EV charging in the city's downtown core.

Located on the site of the former Greyhound Bus depot at 36 West Carrillo Street, this station offers 20 Hyper-Fast chargers. Each charger is capable of speeds up to 350 kilowatts (kW), which can add up to 20 miles of driving range per minute for EVs that accept high-power charging.

The new station also has a 1.9 megawatt (MW) battery energy storage system (BESS), which is Electrify America's largest public BESS deployment to date. The BESS stores energy from the electrical grid during low usage periods and when abundant solar energy is available. It then discharges this energy during high demand periods, helping to expand charging capacity, reduce stress on the grid and maximize use of renewable energy.

"This large-format station showcases the next evolution of charging infrastructure, combining high-power charging with integrated battery energy storage to deliver reliable capacity at scale," said Rob Barrosa, Electrify America President and CEO. "By incorporating advanced storage technology, we're able to bring Hyper-Fast charging to locations that have traditionally been difficult to serve, while making it easy for customers to integrate charging into their daily routines in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara."

The Carrillo Street location is the company's second in Santa Barbara, with the first station located at 3790 State Street. It's also one of Electrify America's four large-format stations in California, joining locations in Santa Monica, San Diego and San Francisco. These large-format stations with 20 or more chargers are part of Electrify America's strategy to reduce wait times and increase charging capacity in line with growing demand.

"With gas prices remaining a burden on working families, the move to electric is a matter of savings," said Senator Monique Limón, President pro Tempore of the California State Senate. "By expanding our public charging network, we are making it easier for Californians to choose a vehicle that costs significantly less to fuel and maintain. Our legislative goal is simple: make the cleanest choice the easiest and most affordable choice for every driver in the state."

At opening, the station will offer 20 chargers with CCS connectors. Later this summer, Electrify America will convert some of these CCS connectors to NACS as part of its ongoing NACS pilot program.

"Increasing charging infrastructure is critical for speeding up our statewide transition to zero-emission vehicles," said Gregg Hart, member of the California State Assembly for the 37th district. "As we help drivers make the shift, we are reducing California's carbon footprint, improving the air quality of our communities, and—importantly—saving consumers money at the gas pump. I am proud to support these efforts."

FranklinWH announced that independent legal consultations support the eligibility of its aPower 2 and aPower S residential battery systems for federal clean energy tax credits under Foreign Entity of Concern, or FEOC, rules established by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This follows consultations with four law firms ranked by Chambers and Legal 500 for expertise in tax, corporate governance and regulatory compliance. The legal consultations support FranklinWH's ongoing commitment to tax credit eligibility for installers, developers and financing partners deploying its systems across the United States.

FranklinWH engaged Cleary Gottlieb Steen and Hamilton, Norton Rose Fulbright, Sidley Austin and Hogan Lovells for legal consultations on different aspects of OBBBA compliance, covering criteria including FranklinWH's corporate structure, supply agreements, intellectual property, effective controls, among others, to help confirm that FranklinWH's U.S. manufacturing and sales entities fall outside the prohibited foreign entity definition established by the OBBBA.

Section 48E investment tax credits are claimed at the project level, and eligibility depends in part on whether deployed systems meet FEOC requirements. As those requirements tighten on an annual schedule through the end of the decade, the compliance status of installed products is an important factor in project economics.

FranklinWH has been aligning its corporate governance and operations with federal compliance requirements as the FEOC framework has developed.

"FranklinWH is built for the long term, and so is our commitment to the U.S. market. This announcement reflects the kind of company we set out to build from day one, and we are proud to keep showing up for our partners and the homeowners we serve," said Gary Lam, CEO and co-founder of FranklinWH.

The FEOC provisions restrict federal incentive eligibility for products and companies with certain foreign ownership or supply-chain ties. FranklinWH said its products meet applicable thresholds for 2026 and 2027.

"Trust with our partners matters to us, and one way we build that trust is by being transparent," said Vincent Ambrose, Chief Commercial Officer of FranklinWH. "Financing partners and their legal teams are welcome to review our compliance information, and we will continue to keep it current as the rules around this continue to take shape."

FranklinWH is now moving forward with market adoption of its aPower 2 and aPower S systems under its FEOC compliance framework, available through authorized installation partners. The systems scale from 15 to 225 kilowatt-hours and are deployed in homes across the United States, providing whole-home backup power and energy resilience while operating in more than 25 utility-managed virtual power plant (VPP) programs.

Belgravia Group announced continued progress on the architecturally distinctive clubhouse at Atavia, the 88-unit luxury condominium community rising in North Scottsdale. The slab has been poured, the pool has been dug, and piping is underway as the steel structure prepares to go vertical in the coming weeks. Designed by KTGY, the clubhouse draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, featuring linear forms, sloped rooflines, expressive structural members, and wood-grain stucco stained to resemble natural wood.

“We weren’t trying to copy Taliesin West, we were inspired by it,” said Jonathan McCulloch, CEO of Belgravia Group. “The repeating roof angles, exposed structural elements, and wood detailing create something more visually interesting than what we’re used to seeing in clubhouse design.”

The clubhouse will feature a solar-integrated roof system using CertainTeed’s SunStyle photovoltaic shingles, which resemble overlapping dragon-scale tiles. McCulloch discovered the innovative solution while exploring renewable energy options and was drawn to its proven track record, with more than 15 years of successful performance across Europe.

Now, with SunStyle’s partnership with CertainTeed, a leader in North American sustainable building materials, the technology is gaining popularity throughout the U.S. Atavia will proudly become the first-ever project in Arizona to feature SunStyle solar roofing, setting a new benchmark for luxury, design-forward sustainability in the region. The high-performance solar roof is expected to generate 55,000 kWh of power annually, which could offset most, and potentially nearly all, of the clubhouse’s annual energy consumption.

“We wanted the sustainability component to feel fully integrated into the architecture,” McCulloch said. “We didn’t want to apply traditional rectangular panels on the roof, which can detract from an otherwise beautiful design. This product allowed us to incorporate renewable energy in a way that complements the design rather than competing with it.”

Jessie Schiavone, general manager of CertainTeed Solar Solutions, expressed pride in partnering with the Belgravia Group and KTGY on the clubhouse project, noting that it reflects a strong alignment of design, sustainability, and performance.

“SunStyle delivers a fully integrated solar roofing system that generates clean energy while preserving architectural integrity,” Schiavone said. “We’re proud to contribute a solution that enhances both the aesthetics and functionality of the space, and we hope the Atavia community will enjoy it as a place to gather and connect for years to come.”

When complete, the clubhouse interior will bring the architectural inspiration inside, featuring soaring 20-foot sloped ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Residents will have access to a generous club room, golf simulator, game room with pool table, catering kitchen, fitness center, indoor/outdoor yoga studio, private meeting room, and outdoor amenities, including a pool, spa, barbecue area, outdoor TVs, and a communal fireplace. Maris Construction of Arizona is the general contractor for both the clubhouse and the broader Atavia community.

Atavia blends the privacy of single-family living with the ease of condominium ownership, offering private at-grade residence entries and attached two-car garages, the ability to personalize finishes with Belgravia’s in-house designers, and select plans with in-home elevators and private rooftop decks. Residences feature 10-foot ceilings, Italian cabinetry, and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, with pricing from $800,000 to $1.7 million. Nearly 70% of the first phase is already sold.  

Located within the One Scottsdale master plan, which will include up to approximately 1.5 million square feet of retail and office space, 2,350 residential units, and 400 hotel rooms, Atavia continues Belgravia Group’s legacy of thoughtful design and elevated living.
