PublioSTUDIO™ Acquires ChargedUp!, Expands Coverage to "Intelligent Electrification" for CRE

Deal expands ChargedUp! coverage from EVs to full-stack power, connectivity and AI integration for commercial, corporate and public real estate.

DENVER, CO – (BUSINESS WIRE)--November 25, 2025 -- PublioSTUDIO™, a content strategy and go-to-market studio for established and high-growth B2B brands, today announced it has acquired ChargedUp! from Fifth Gen Media. The acquisition positions ChargedUp! as a dedicated media platform focused on intelligent electrification for commercial and public real estate and transportation infrastructure.

Under the terms of the transaction, PublioSTUDIO founder and CEO Keith Reynolds becomes publisher of ChargedUp!, formalizing an editorial direction he has shaped in recent months expanding beyond EV & fleet charging to coverage of the electrification and wireless capabilities of smart cities, including grid constraints, intelligent buildings, autonomous vehicles, and more.

“America’s electric grid is running hot. Data centers, factories and hundreds of thousands of chargers are all plugging in at once, and that has turned electricity from a background utility into a front-and-center business issue,” Reynolds said. “ChargedUp! will build on its roots in EV charging to cover the full stack of intelligent electrification and wireless infrastructure—from microgrids, storage and bridge-power systems to in-building wireless connectivity and AI controls—so owners, operators and public agencies can plan, develop, finance and manage infrastructure to create the smart cities of tomorrow.”

ChargedUp! seeks to expand its role further to build a community around the interconnected “operating system” that properties require - and the urban cities and small towns where they reside. Coverage will examine how power assets such as solar, batteries, advanced switchgear and modular systems can energize sites in months instead of years, why high-performance connectivity including private 5G, Wi-Fi and in-building wireless is the nervous system enabling today’s opportunities, and how AI-driven software orchestration provides the brains for all the components to work together on managing demand charges, navigating interconnection delays, and improving resilience and tenant experience. 

The ChargedUp! platform will provide vital information, conversations, and resources to commercial and corporate real estate and public-sector owners and operators, healthcare and education campuses, logistics and industrial sites, mixed-use districts, and government executives and master planners. Content will focus on translating policy and technology into site-level action, including tariff-aware charging designs, microgrid and storage playbooks, capital and operating cost comparisons, connectivity strategies, and “finance-ready” checklists that help projects clear investment and underwriting hurdles.

ChargedUp! offers companies unique opportunities to build relationships with new prospects and customers through events, ads, podcasts, sponsored content, webinars, and more. ChargedUp! advertisers will also have access to PublioSTUDIO’s suite of strategy, content and go-to-market services, including thought leadership development, long-form content, video, webinar and podcast production, and campaign design tailored to company goals.

The pavilion is designed to educate and showcase solutions to the 5,000+ planners and government officials from across the country in attendance. 

“Capital, regulators, planners and government officials are all asking the same question: How do communities move forward to support all the connectivity needed for emerging solutions, including smart buildings, autonomous vehicles and other innovative transportation, security, and more,” stated Reynolds. “ChargedUp! will be the place on the show floor where attendees  can get the answers to their  questions from the companies participating in the pavilion.
