CleanTechnica reviews the Velotric GoMad electric utility ebike
By Eve
CleanTechnica tested the Velotric GoMad, a utility ebike from Velotric, which the review describes as one of the largest ebike brands in the US. The bike can take rear bags, a passenger kit or a delivery basket, and assembly takes between 30 minutes and an hour using the tools supplied. Velotric provided the bike to the author for the review.
Why it matters
This is a consumer ebike review with no direct bearing on charging infrastructure, so it has little procurement relevance for CPOs. It is only a loose signal of US light electric mobility interest, with no charging demand figures given.

Peugeot e-Expert van offers up to 356 km WLTP range with 75 kWh battery and 11 kW three phase onboard charger
In a sponsored feature (commercial collaboration with Peugeot) tied to the October 2026 price list update, the 136 hp (100 kW) e-Expert is offered with a 49 kWh battery for 226 km or a 75 kWh battery for 356 km WLTP, at 23.2 to 24.7 kWh per 100 km. It has an 11 kW three phase bidirectional onboard charger with V2L readiness, and up to 31 minutes to recover 80% of charge. It comes in M (4.98 m) and XL (5.33 m) lengths with roughly 1,000 kg payload, and includes the e-ROUTES app for 10 years via Connect ONE to plan charging stops.
Why it matters
A mid-size van with a 75 kWh pack and a three phase 11 kW onboard charger points to depot and overnight charging as the main use case for tradespeople and fleets, so site specifications should assume AC provision at that level. Bidirectional capability with V2L readiness and built-in charge stop planning are also worth noting when scoping fleet charging contracts.
Envoy and LACI Collaborate on Electric Car Sharing Across New Jersey in $8.5 Million Initiative Funded by NJDEP
Envoy and LACI are working together to bring electric car sharing across New Jersey, through an initiative worth $8.5 million and funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Residents would be able to use shared electric vehicles by the hour or day, without the ongoing financial commitments of vehicle ownership. The item was published by COCH Stock News, and the excerpt gives no site counts, vehicle numbers or timelines.
Why it matters
State funded shared EV fleets can create steady, predictable charging demand, so CPOs and installers may find opportunities if the programme specifies charging provision. Procurement teams should watch for further detail on locations, vehicle numbers and who will supply and operate the chargers.
Hillcrest and Equipmake sign definitive agreement to jointly develop and license ZVS inverter technology for heavy duty electric vehicles
Hillcrest and Equipmake have signed a definitive agreement to jointly develop and license ZVS inverter technology aimed at heavy duty electric vehicles, according to a HLRTF Stock News listing. Royalties depend on Equipmake beginning commercial sales, and Hillcrest retains ownership of its ZVS technology. The listing gives no financial terms, volumes or timelines.
Why it matters
Heavy duty vehicle powertrain developments shape the future power and depot charging requirements that CPOs and procurement teams will need to serve. With royalties tied to Equipmake starting commercial sales and no dates disclosed, this is a pipeline signal to watch rather than a near term demand driver.
