Texas opens applications for $60 million EV charger funding programme
Texas has launched a $60 million funding round for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, according to Environment America. Applications are now open for organisations seeking capital to deploy EV chargers across the state. The programme forms part of broader US efforts to expand public charging networks.
Why it matters
CPOs and site hosts in Texas can now compete for a substantial state allocation that may lower deployment costs and accelerate project timelines. Procurement teams should review eligibility criteria and application deadlines to capture available grant funding.
BladeRanger acquires Envoy Technologies from Blink Charging for $14 million
BladeRanger has purchased Envoy Technologies, a US electric vehicle sharing platform, from Blink Charging for approximately $14 million. Envoy operates around 186 electric vehicles across 34 locations, serving residential communities, multifamily properties, hospitality sites and corporate campuses through a mobile app. BladeRanger plans to expand the fleet and geographic reach while evaluating a potential IPO for Envoy.
Why it matters
The deal signals consolidation in the EV mobility sector and may create new charging infrastructure opportunities as BladeRanger scales Envoy's fleet across premium residential and commercial properties. Procurement teams at multifamily and corporate sites should monitor how the combined entity approaches charging hardware and service contracts.
