Innovation is front and center in the energy world. From Transmission and Distribution merging with IT/OT to Digital Transformation and Net zero, by 2050, there is a lot to take place. Let’s not forget that A/I deployments are taking place in every industry, applications are popping up a lot, and everyone is thinking of ways to incorporate A/I. In the midst of all this change, you have every changing workforce: baby boomers going out and GenX coming in. It’s funny how these groups are going through the same doors, but there is no knowledge exchange taking place. To make this innovation work, it will take all of us and devices. If you just stop for one minute and think about what it takes for a human being to function in this ever-changing world, it would spin you into outer space. Let’s take a peek at the future of energy; by 2050, there are several countries that are committed to net zero to give the world an even chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 15
Top EV Charging Solutions Provider 2025
Known for developing practical, cost-saving EV charging and residential energy management solutions, Splitvolt has also built strong global partnerships and is expanding into commercial B2B, fleet, and international markets. But how did this U.S. company’s journey begin? The most groundbreaking ideas are sometimes born in the simplest of moments. For Dan Liddle, founder of Splitvolt, that moment came during his drive on California’s State Route 87. As a proud new owner of an electric vehicle, he was reveling in the promise of clean energy—until his thoughts turned to the $850 electrician quote for installing a Level 2 charging outlet just three feet from his electrical box. The excitement dimmed as the price tag loomed in his mind, and the additional weeks of permitting, surveys and power company approvals turned the process into a logistical nightmare. Then, inspiration hit. Liddle remembered the underused 240-volt dryer outlet in his garage—the same voltage required to charge his EV. “Why not maximize its potential? Why spend thousands on new installations when existing infrastructure could be shared intelligently?” he reflected. That ‘aha’ moment became the cornerstone of Splitvolt and its revolutionary product, the Splitter Switch. With the Splitvolt Splitter Switch, EV owners can safely and affordably charge their vehicles using existing 240-volt circuits, all for about $300. The device requires no technical expertise to install and operates automatically, directing power where it’s needed. The simple yet elegant solution eliminates costly rewiring, empowering homeowners to fast-charge their vehicles in minutes. Safety, too, is paramount here. The Splitter Switch is equipped with internal circuit breakers that monitor and regulate power flow, protecting both homes and vehicles. “Our goal was to remove barriers,” explains Liddle, president and CEO. “The Splitter Switch is our first step to rethinking how we power the EV revolution.” Customers saw the value in the Splitvolt Splitter Switch as soon as it launched, but many asked for more. “We love this thing,” one early adopter shared, “but why not offer a simple, affordable mobile charger to pair with it?” Customer-centric at its core, Splitvolt quickly developed a high-quality mobile charger designed to complement the Splitter Switch. The upgraded version offers features like adjustable delays for off-peak charging and power-level customization to match any circuit. Its success has already resonated with tens of thousands of customers..
Gas Turbine Generator Solution
Achieving carbon neutrality is a widely shared objective for everyone. But it is often misconstrued as an abrupt transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources. FlexEnergy Solutions charts a realistic path toward sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of fossil fuels rather than solely relying on green power. A significant issue identified by the company is the incomplete combustion inherent in traditional fossil fuel energy systems, leading to considerable emissions of greenhouse gases. To counteract this, FlexEnergy Solutions has developed an innovative solution: a compact gas turbine. This technology is designed to produce reliable, efficient, and clean energy from fossil fuels. When this gas turbine burns fuel gas, it draws in external air and merges it with the fuel, creating a pure combustion cycle. The process results in an exceptionally clean and highly efficient burning system, with nearly 100 percent combustion. The turbine achieves impressive reductions in emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reaching levels as low as four parts per million for each of these environmental contaminants. This achievement is in sharp contrast to equivalent technologies, like reciprocating engines, which exhibit over ten times higher emissions when burning the same fuel at a similar scale.
Commercial Solar Panel Company
Advancements in battery storage technology are powering humanity’s quest for sustainable energy. Modern battery storage systems enable consumers to efficiently harness and use solar energy, breaking free from their reliance on the electrical grid while saving on energy costs. Solar Optimum is at the forefront of this transformation. An elite, certified energy installer, Solar Optimum specializes in solar energy, battery storage, roofing and EV charger installations. A vertically integrated organization, it controls the entire process from assessment and design to installation of the system, helping customers to become truly energy-independent. “We help our customers achieve the ‘Energy Peace of Mind’ when it comes to battery storage for residential homes and commercial sites,” says Arno Aghamalian, Founder and CEO. As a battery storage expert, educating consumers and business owners about battery storage and why it’s needed is an important part of Solar Optimum’s value proposition. With battery storage, customers are less dependent on the energy grid and better outage protection. Plus, they can store more energy for increased bill savings.

Charging Ahead in EV Infrastructure
The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is charging ahead, but the infrastructure supporting it must evolve rapidly to keep pace. In the U.S., the expansion of public and private charging networks is gaining momentum, yet geographic disparities and accessibility challenges persist, particularly in rural and underserved areas. While fast-charging stations proliferate in urban centers, many communities still struggle to find reliable options, highlighting the need for strategic deployment that ensures equitable access. Emerging solutions, such as mobile charging units and community-based microgrids, are being tested to bridge these gaps and offer flexible alternatives to fixed stations. Advancements in charging technology are addressing these issues. The introduction of higher-power chargers and larger stations aims to reduce wait times and enhance user experience. Additionally, artificial intelligence is being leveraged to predict charging demand and optimize station performance, making EV charging more competitive with traditional fueling options. Blockchain-enabled payment and energy-tracking systems are also being explored to provide transparency, real-time billing, and integration with renewable energy sources, ensuring cleaner and smarter energy usage. Beyond hardware, software platforms are increasingly integrating energy management tools, loyalty programs, and predictive maintenance features, transforming charging infrastructure into a connected ecosystem that anticipates user needs and minimizes downtime. Grant Ervin, Vice President of External Affairs and Sustainability, S&B USA Construction - Fay - Fay Southeast, and Seth Little, Director, Market Development and Partnerships at CLEAResult, note that the future of EV charging hinges on smarter integration and collaboration across energy systems. They emphasize that building connected, efficient, and accessible networks will be key to making EV charging a seamless part of a cleaner energy future. In this roundup, we spotlight EV charging as a convergence of energy efficiency, technological innovation, and human-centered design. The challenge and opportunity lie in building systems that not only power vehicles but also elevate the entire energy ecosystem. May this discussion spark ideas and inspire a rethinking of how we electrify mobility for the long term.
