Welcome to ChargedUp!

AI data centers, fleet depots, and electrified campuses need power now, while interconnection queues and utility upgrades run on multi-year clocks. “Bridge power” addresses that gap, DG Matrix is positioning its platform at the center of that shift.

The broader picture keeps settling: Lexus, Toyota and others have either launched supercharger access or are mid-rollout, while more 2025–2026 models arrive with native NACS ports. The durable shift is native NACS ports and seamless PnC, which move the market toward a single standard and “it just works” charging.

School buses remain V2G’s most credible near-term market: the use-case fits, the funding exists, and the technical path is proven. The next year is about turning playbooks into products—clear tariffs, certified stacks, and streamlined settlement that districts can actually run.

Toyota and Sumitomo Metal Mining signed a joint development deal to mass-produce cathode materials for all-solid-state batteries (SSB), targeting the “world’s first practical use” in BEVs around 2027–2028. That’s a concrete supply-chain step.

Charging is moving from stand-alone pit stops to embedded power—in the road, at the dock, and in smarter hubs that match the grid.

Across multiple independent studies, the story is consistent: EVs are inherently more energy-efficient and already cleaner over their full life on most U.S. grids. For commercial real estate, adding well-placed charging now does double duty—tenant appeal and a path to lower operating costs when paired with smart load control or a modest onsite battery.
