More than EVs: The U.S. electrification market is undergoing a structural reset.
Join the New Era of Electrified, Intelligent Infrastructure.
Federal incentives are winding down, automakers are recalibrating their EV strategies, and capital is shifting from vehicle subsidies to infrastructure performance. Yet EVs are just part of the story. The underlying direction of change—toward electrified, connected, and intelligent building systems—is irreversible.
The U.S. grid faces its biggest constraint in modern history. Data centers powering AI growth now consume electricity on the scale of small cities. To stay resilient, building owners and operators are turning to onsite generation, storage, and microgrids behind the meter, and increasingly, the AI-driven control systems to make them viable. Without automation and predictive optimization, these distributed assets would simply overwhelm human operators.
AI balances power flow across sites, schedules fleet charging around tariffs, detects equipment failures before they happen, and keeps smart buildings within both comfort and compliance thresholds. Wireless networks link every charger, sensor, meter, and control system into a real-time web of intelligence. Connectivity keeps assets talking to each other and the cloud, synchronizing loads, securing transactions, and ensuring uptime. Without it, intelligence is isolated; with it, the entire infrastructure stack becomes coordinated, responsive, and profitable.
Markets are adopting the best solutions as costs and benefits begin to stand on their own.
That’s Why ChargedUp! is Evolving Our Mission.
We’re expanding coverage beyond EVs and connectivity to focus on how AI, power, and wireless converge at the edge of the grid—The Built Environment*—where commercial and corporate real-estate leaders, investors, and operators have direct control over outcomes.
Our audience includes the analysts and planners who model projects, the engineers and managers who deliver them, and the executives responsible for their ROI.
To them, our commitment is simple: Separate signal from noise, translate policy and technology into practical opportunity, and illuminate the path toward financially and operationally sustainable infrastructure.
We believe leadership today requires clarity on three fronts:
- How energy, connectivity, and AI are converging into a single investment class.
- Where policy and power constraints are creating new opportunities—for microgrids, fleets, consumer mobility, and smart, efficient buildings.
- Why intelligence is the new capacity—because without it, none of these systems integrate or scale.
We founded ChargedUp! because we saw the changes that EV charging ushered in. As we expand our coverage to new electrification sources and technologies, we will continue to publish narratives grounded in data, guided by experience, and focused on what matters most: helping the people in Corporate and Commercial Real Estate who build, finance, and operate America’s next generation of building infrastructure see the road ahead clearly. We will continue to provide a forum for the professionals and suppliers in the industry to have a voice and educate our readers.
We hope you are as ChargedUp! about the future as we are. Subscribe to our newsletter and follow our socials for continued updates.
All the best,

Welcome
We’re Charged UP! about all things EV Charging and Hydrogen Fueling
As the Publisher of Charged UP! I am pleased to announce that we are moving to a new format with our weekly news to the EV Fleet Charging Community.
In addition to the articles that have been so popular with our readers, we will be offering you more content in a mixed media format. There will still be a way to read material from us but for those who want addition content, there will be blog posts. videos, LinkedIn commentary on my page https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-berliner/, podcasts, and more. The choices will be available so that everyone can consume as much or as little as they like.
We hope you enjoy the new format, which will be more timely, more professionally curated and more accessible each and every week.
