Wallbox and PowerGo Announce Collaboration to Deploy EV Charging Solutions Across Hotels in the Netherlands
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wallbox (NYSE: WBX), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, has announced a collaboration with charge point operator PowerGo to accelerate the deployment of AC and DC charging infrastructure across Essendi hotels in the Netherlands. This collaboration brings together Wallbox's advanced charging technology and PowerGo's renewable energy-powered infrastructure to support the country's growing demand for sustainable mobility. The installations will feature Wallbox's Em4, a robust AC charger designed for high-traffic environments, and Supernova, the company's high-efficiency DC fast charger. Both models are designed to support a seamless user experience, remote management, and integration with renewable energy sources, aligned with PowerGo's green charging solutions. The collaboration has already reached key milestones, starting with Mercure Amsterdam City, where the first installation became operational. Since May, guests and visitors have been able to charge their EVs at six 22 kW AC charging points, with two 150 kW DC charging points planned to be installed once the upgraded grid connection is in place. In June, Novotel Amsterdam City also became operational, offering two 150 kW DC and six 22 kW AC charging points. These installations mark the beginning of a potential broader rollout within Essendi's hotel portfolio in the Netherlands. Upcoming installations are expected at multiple hotel locations in the provinces of North Holland and South Holland, including the Ibis and Ibis Budget Amsterdam Airport hotels at Schiphol, as well as the Novotel in Rotterdam Brainpark.

Portal Space Systems plans to put spacecraft manufacturing facility near Seattle-area hub
Portal CEO Jeff Thornburg says the company is expanding its footprint in Bothell, Wash. (Portal Space Systems Photo) Portal Space Systems says it's decided to set up its 50,000-square-foot spacecraft manufacturing facility just 3 miles away from its existing design and testing hub in Bothell, Wash. By the end of 2026, the factory should be ready to start producing Portal's Supernova space vehicles, which are being designed to use an innovative solar thermal propulsion system to maneuver payloads between orbital locations. 'With growing demand from both our commercial and defense partners, this new facility marks the next strategic step in Portal's evolution,' Portal CEO Jeff Thornburg said today, in a news release that was issued in conjunction with the Paris Air Show. 'By expanding our footprint in Bothell, we're doubling down on local talent, proximity to core operations, and a growing aerospace ecosystem supported by state leadership.' Today's announcement builds on other recent signs of Portal's progress, including the closing of a $17.5 million seed funding round and the announcement of an on-orbit demonstration mission that's due to ride aboard Momentus' Vigoride 7 orbital service vehicle in 2026. Portal said the newly announced facility will become the principal site for activities including manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing, research and development, and advanced engineering. The facility is expected to add more than 100 new jobs in the region over the next two to three years. By 2027, Portal plans to produce one Supernova per month. Supernova's sun-powered propulsion system is meant to provide the capability for rapid orbital adjustments. That capability is becoming increasingly important for a couple of reasons. One reason has to do with the need for more responsive space traffic management, due to the growing number of commercial satellites in low Earth orbit. The other has to do with the Pentagon's need to respond rapidly to potential space-based threats from rivals such as China and Russia. Last year, Portal won $45 million in financial support for Supernova's development through SpaceWERX's STRATFI program — a public-private initiative aimed at facilitating the delivery of strategic capabilities for the U.S. Space Force.

Ultraviolette debuts in France with F77 twins; all models to go global, says Rajmohan
Niraj Rajmohan, CTO & Co-founder of Ultraviolette. Homegrown electric two-wheeler brand Ultraviolette Automotive has made a big move globally by launching its top models, the F77 2 and F77 SuperStreet , in ten European countries. Both models will be offered at special launch prices until July 31: €8,990 for the F77 MACH 2 and €9,290 for the F77 SuperStreet. After that, prices will go up to €9,990 and €10,390 respectively. Notably, the motorcycles will be manufactured locally in Bengaluru and will be shipped overseas via the CBU route. Speaking to TOI Auto, Ultraviolette co-founder and CTO Niraj Rajmohan explained the strategy behind choosing key markets like Germany, the UK, and France, and the work done over the years to meet global standards. 'It's always been clear since our founding in 2016 that the products we build are for global markets,' Rajmohan said. He added that designing with European norms in mind from day one ensured the bikes could seamlessly enter international markets. "Our vehicles are certified for 40 countries globally. We've tested the engineering, battery packs, factory processes, and suppliers for global standards.' Market footprint & partnerships The F77 is now on sale across ten European countries, including Germany, France, the UK, Ireland, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. To facilitate the same, the EV maker has partnered with existing brands - both ICE and EV - to make its electric duo available to European customers. 'In Germany we are working with Zero Center, in France with Pink Mobility, and in the UK and Netherlands with Moto Mondo.' These partnerships will not only cater to sales but will also support after-sales services. 'We ship both vehicles and spares,' Rajmohan confirmed, adding that partners have already received technical training to cater to the after-sales services. ' We commit to spares availability for the next ten years,' he noted. Future production possibilities The company, however, doesn't rule out setting up manufacturing facilities in the global markets as Rajmohan explained 'Markets are increasingly looking for local production due to tariffs and duties. Over time, we will assess which regions may need local assembly or production.' Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition Walkaround: Hidden feature & changes | TOI Auto Charging infrastructure On facilitating fast charging in Europe, Ultraviolette has adopted interoperable standards like the Type 6 connector and IEC 62196. 'We'll work with third-party charging networks, dealer partners and infrastructure-focused providers,' he added. At present, Ultraviolette has already started setting up its fast chargers, called Supernova, across India. These chargers can power up the F77's battery from 20% to 80% in less than an hour - much quicker than the regular charger. In the first phase, the company plans to install over 100 Supernova fast chargers, which include both 6kW and 3kW DC units. More models to follow F77's footsteps Earlier this year, the company had introduced two new models in India: its first electric scooter , the Tesseract, priced at Rs 1.45 lakh, and a lightweight electric enduro bike called the Shockwave, priced at Rs 1.75 lakh. Looking ahead, the company confirmed that all upcoming models beyond the current F77 range are being developed to meet European standards and will eventually make their way to Europe. However, a timeline for that hasn't been shared yet. 'Yes, every vehicle in our portfolio will eventually be available there, customised based on the market,' confirmed Rajmohan. Speaking of the F77 Mach 2, it comes equipped with a 10.3 kWh battery pack. The motorcycle pumps out 40.2 bhp and reaches a top speed of 155 kmph, with a claimed range of 323 km on a fully-juiced battery. In the department of tech nannies, the model features traction control, hill hold, ABS, and more. Alongside, the Violette AI software offers crash alerts, anti-collision warnings, remote lockdown and daily ride stats. On the other hand, the F77 SuperStreet looks just like the F77 Mach 2, packing the same features, powertrain, and hardware. But the handlebar setup is different, resulting in a more upright rider's triangle. Instead of the Mach 2's clip-on handlebars, the SuperStreet comes with a tubular handlebar.
