In EV, battery and charging news are dcbel, MassCEC, EVgo, GM, SparkCharge and Ford. In this Article Dcbel Joins MassCEC V2X Demonstration Program for Residential Deployment dcbel Inc. has partnered with TMH, Resource Innovation, and B2Q to participate in the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center V2X Pilot Program, deploying its Ara Home Energy Station to state residential sites. The fully subsidized initiative covers hardware and turn-key installation costs for qualifying single-family properties without existing solar or stationary energy storage systems. Eligible vehicle architectures are limited to bidirectional DC fast-charging compatible platforms, including the MY 2018-2025 Nissan LEAF, 2025 Polestar 3, and 2025 Volvo EX90. Applications remain open through September 30, 2026, or until program funding is exhausted. The dcbel Ara station serves as an integrated distributed energy resource gateway, enabling automated vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid bidirectional power flows. The system manages peak shaving, load shifting during high utility rate periods, and autonomous emergency power dispatch during outage events. The demonstration initiative will aggregate operational telemetry, user behavior metrics, and financial yield data to evaluate hardware interoperability and utility value streams across regional distribution grids. EVgo and GM Open Flagship Fast Charging Site in Metropolitan Detroit EVgo Inc. has opened its newest flagship high-power EV fast charging station at a Meijer retail store in Warren, Michigan, directly opposite the General Motors Global Technical Center. Developed in collaboration with GM, the site brings EVgo’s operational flagship charging stalls to over 40 nationwide, supporting a target of more than 100 stalls by year-end 2026 across key markets including California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas. The installation features an overhead canopy, pull-through trailer access, and 12 dual-protocol CCS and NACS stalls capable of up to 350 kW DC fast charging. The flagship program forms part of a broader infrastructure expansion between EVgo and GM, which
