Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. announced significant progress in developing a large-scale, energy-backed digital infrastructure platform designed to support the growing power demands of artificial intelligence and data center operations, as it continues to execute its Merger and Development Agreement (MDA) with AZIO AI.
The company said it is building the power, land, and connectivity infrastructure required by AI and high-performance computing operators, areas where access to reliable electricity has become a major constraint on industry growth. EVTV has established a development platform engineered to support up to 500 megawatts of planned behind-the-meter power capacity.
According to the company, 500 MW is sufficient to power approximately 375,000 homes and is comparable to the energy requirements of a large-scale AI data center campus operated by major technology companies.
EVTV currently operates approximately 6 MW of deployed digital infrastructure and is advancing additional deployment phases. The company has also expanded its controlled development footprint to more than 548 acres through lease agreements, development rights, and strategic site-control arrangements.
As part of its collaboration with AZIO AI, EVTV said the companies have continued to advance infrastructure planning, energy development, site expansion, fiber deployment, and long-term digital infrastructure initiatives, while the proposed transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions.
The company noted that it has secured dedicated fiber infrastructure for both current operations and future expansion and is progressing natural gas interconnection activities and energy infrastructure planning to support scalable growth. Management believes the combination of land control, energy resources, connectivity, and infrastructure development positions the company to pursue opportunities in artificial intelligence, enterprise computing, cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing, and energy-backed digital infrastructure markets.
Key development milestones highlighted by the company include:
- Expansion of its controlled development footprint to more than 548 acres.
-
Establishment of a platform engineered to support up to 500 MW of planned behind-the-meter power capacity.
-
Approximately 6 MW of digital infrastructure currently operational, with additional deployment phases underway.
-
Securing dedicated fiber infrastructure for current and future operations.
-
Advancement of natural gas interconnection requests through engineering review.
-
Development of a multi-phase infrastructure strategy supporting AI, enterprise computing, cloud services, and high-performance digital infrastructure.
EVTV said it plans to continue advancing infrastructure deployment, site development, energy supply initiatives, interconnection activities, and strategic partnerships as part of its long-term growth strategy.
KEY QUOTES:
“Since announcing our Merger and Development Agreement with AZIO AI, our focus has remained on execution. Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence — but AI does not run without power, land, and connectivity, and those are the assets we are securing. We have expanded our footprint past 548 acres, established a platform engineered for up to 500 MW of planned capacity, and advanced the fiber and energy planning needed to scale. We believe this progress represents important milestones toward building long-term value for our shareholders.”
Elgin Tracy, President, Envirotech Vehicles
“While the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, our organizations have continued collaborating on the development initiatives that support future growth. The combination of controlled acreage, scalable energy resources, dedicated fiber connectivity, and long-term infrastructure planning provides a strong foundation for the demand opportunity we see ahead.”
Chris Young, Chief Executive Officer, AZIO AI
