$EVTV News: Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. Builds out 500 MW Energy-Backed Infrastructure Platform Across 548-Acre Campus to Power Artificial Intelligence and Data Center Growth
Company Develops Large-Scale Power, Land, and Connectivity — the Resources the AI Economy Needs Most — as It Executes Its Merger and Development Agreement with AZIO AI
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVTV) (“EVTV” or the “Company”) today announced significant progress building a large-scale, energy-backed digital infrastructure platform designed to serve the accelerating power demands of artificial intelligence and data center growth, as the Company continues executing on its previously announced Merger and Development Agreement (“MDA”) with AZIO AI.
EVTV & AZIO AI TAKE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DATA CENTER GROWTH TO NEW HEIGHTS ACROSS 548-ACRE CAMPUS
Share
The Company is developing the power, land, and connectivity that AI and high-performance computing operators require — resources for which, in the Company’s view, access to large and reliable electricity supply has become a primary constraint on growth. To meet that demand, EVTV has established a development platform engineered to support up to 500 megawatts (MW) of planned behind-the-meter power capacity.
To illustrate the scale of that capacity: 500 MW is roughly enough electricity to power a mid-sized American city — on the order of 375,000 homes — and is comparable to the power that runs a large artificial intelligence data center campus, the kind being developed by the world’s largest technology companies.
The Company currently operates approximately 6 MW of deployed digital infrastructure, with additional deployment phases underway — operational capacity in the ground today and a defined development path toward a substantially larger platform. Alongside its power development, EVTV has expanded its controlled development footprint to more than 548 acres, positioning the Company on the supply side of one of the fastest-growing demand curves in the global economy.
Executing the Merger and Development Agreement with AZIO AI
While the proposed transaction with AZIO AI remains subject to customary closing conditions, EVTV and AZIO AI have continued working collaboratively to advance infrastructure planning, energy development, site expansion, fiber deployment, and long-term digital infrastructure opportunities.
Since execution of the MDA, the Company has expanded its controlled development footprint to more than 548 acres through executed lease agreements, development rights, and strategic site-control arrangements. It has established the platform supporting up to 500 MW of planned behind-the-meter power capacity, positioning EVTV to pursue opportunities across artificial intelligence, enterprise computing, cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing, and energy-backed digital infrastructure markets.
The Company has further secured dedicated fiber infrastructure for current operations and future expansion, while advancing natural gas interconnection activities and energy infrastructure planning designed to support scalable growth.
Management believes the combination of strategic land control, scalable energy resources, dedicated connectivity, and disciplined infrastructure development creates a platform capable of supporting long-term demand from some of the fastest-growing segments of the global economy.

This announcement follows the Company’s entry into a definitive merger agreement, dated May 19, 2026, with AZIO AI, pursuant to which, subject to certain closing conditions, the Company will acquire AZIO AI. The Company intends to provide additional details regarding the transaction structure in the Form S-4 registration statement (the “Form S-4”) to be filed in connection with the proposed transaction.
South Texas Deployment Underway
EVTV has ordered approximately 6 megawatts of modular Bitcoin mining container infrastructure, with installation expected to begin within the coming month. The deployment will include approximately 480 M6DS++ miners operating in overclocked configuration and 158 S21 XP immersion miners — 638 high-performance units in total.
Based on current on-site operating data, management estimates power costs of approximately $0.03 per kilowatt-hour via behind-the-meter natural gas generation — among the lowest reported operating power costs in the domestic digital asset mining sector. At current Bitcoin market prices, management believes this fleet has the potential to represent a revenue-generating asset from the moment operations commence.
AZIO AI Pipeline: Deposits Received, Deliveries Commenced
AZIO AI, a distributor of Super Micro Computer systems and EVTV’s merger partner, has commenced initial deliveries and deployment of NVIDIA B200 GPU systems — among the most advanced AI compute hardware currently available commercially.
To date, AZIO AI has received customer deposits for a $118 million purchase order. The full receipt of customer deposits ahead of continued delivery represents a meaningful indicator of customer commitment and pipeline credibility. AZIO AI is also evaluating additional GPU infrastructure opportunities that could further expand the pipeline.
In addition, AZIO AI has delivered eight Super Micro Computer server racks installed with NVIDIA B200 GPUs to a separate customer, further demonstrating the operational momentum of its GPU distribution business and its ability to fulfill against demand for next-generation AI compute hardware.
A Platform Built on Low-Cost Power
EVTV believes its behind-the-meter natural gas power position in South Texas is a structural competitive advantage — one that applies equally to Bitcoin mining, AI compute hosting, and future high-performance data center operations. The Company is advancing fiber connectivity to the South Texas site in parallel, a critical requirement for AI server deployment and high-throughput compute workloads.
As integration planning advances, AZIO AI is expected to support deployment and technical operations across compute infrastructure, while EVTV continues expanding power capacity and connectivity at its South Texas site.

This milestone reflects a broader initiative that has been under development over multiple quarters, as EVTV repositions its business toward scalable, infrastructure-driven revenue models aligned with accelerating global demand for compute capacity.
This transition is not a departure, but a deliberate evolution of EVTV's long-term strategy. Over the past several quarters, the Company has been actively laying the groundwork for this shift, including infrastructure planning, energy sourcing, vendor engagement, and deployment strategy. The activation of its first revenue-generating site represents the execution phase of these efforts.Strategic Transition: Planned Reallocation Toward Higher-Margin InfrastructureAs part of its long-term strategic roadmap, EVTV is reallocating capital and operational focus away from capital-intensive electric vehicle manufacturing and toward energy-backed digital infrastructure and AI-driven compute platforms. This transition reflects a disciplined and forward-looking capital allocation strategy, designed to position the Company in sectors with higher margin potential, faster revenue realization, scalable deployment opportunities, and strong global demand. The Company believes the convergence of energy availability and compute demand presents a significant opportunity. By leveraging its access to natural gas resources, infrastructure capabilities, and strategic partnerships, EVTV is building a platform designed to support both cryptocurrency-based compute and AI-driven workloads at scale.
This strategy enables EVTV to generate immediate revenue through cryptocurrency mining, capture operational data, and transition into higher-value AI and data center revenue streams while maintaining a hybrid model. Management expects this evolution to improve capital efficiency, reduce exposure to manufacturing volatility, and establish recurring, infrastructure-based revenue streams that enhance long-term shareholder value.
Revenue Generation & Monetization FrameworkEVTV has commenced initial revenue generation from its first 1 MW deployment through cryptocurrency-based compute operations. This phase generates immediate cash flow for the Company while testing operational data and system optimization. All computing equipment is owned and operated by EVTV. Current operations are expected to generate approximately $50,000 to $100,000 per month depending on market conditions, system performance, and optimization factors.

Energy-advantaged sourcing considerations
Standardized installation and commissioning sequencing
Modular containerized infrastructure architecture
Deployment pacing aligned with hardware integration and infrastructure readiness
While future expansion remains subject to successful installation and integration outcomes, EVTV management believes disciplined sequencing in South Texas provides a structured foundation for scalable infrastructure planning.
Energy Economics and Strategic Positioning
EVTV's infrastructure strategy incorporates power sourcing considerations, modular deployment design, and staged capacity integration. Management believes that maintaining disciplined progression through delivery, installation, commissioning, and integration phases is essential to supporting long-term infrastructure scalability and operational readiness.
"Power is the backbone of this business," said Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of EVTV. "As we proceed with installation and integration in South Texas, maintaining disciplined infrastructure sequencing and energy alignment remains central to our long-term strategy."
Strategic Context
EVTV is concurrently advancing discussions related to additional potential deployment locations intended to support modular AI infrastructure expansion. These discussions remain subject to ongoing evaluation, site selection, installation outcomes, and definitive agreements.
