Deep & Emerging TechGM is giving away free home chargers, and paying drivers to charge off-peak
Managed charging is turning EVs into grid resources—GM and PG&E are effectively buying flexible demand for $1,999 upfront plus $15/month. If you operate large fleets or multi-site facilities, treat charging hardware decisions as an energy-market integration choice, not just a perk.
Deep & Emerging TechMost Americans now oppose data centers in some way as tide continues to turn on AI technology
