on

Collin County, TX is ramping up its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure to support the region’s rapid growth and transition to clean transportation. Local electricians like ABR Electric in McKinney are leading the charge by helping developers and homeowners install EV-ready parking and Level 2 chargers. Inspired by national programs and building code models like CALGreen, the county’s plan includes corridor, community, and site-level strategies. Backed by federal programs like NEVI and local workforce development, Collin County is positioning itself as a North Texas leader in EV readiness—powered by experts like ABR Electric.

Collin County is making bold strides in preparing for the accelerating shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) by expanding its EV charging infrastructure. As North Texas continues to grow, the demand for reliable, future-ready EV charging is rising—and ABR Electric, based in McKinney, is at the forefront of helping residential and commercial developers meet these evolving needs.

Building Tomorrow’s Grid Today

In alignment with national trends and Texas’ clean energy ambitions, local officials and stakeholders are working to ensure that new residential and commercial properties throughout Collin County are equipped with EV-ready parking and charging stations. These upgrades reflect best practices from initiatives like California’s CALGreen Tier 1 Reach Codes, adapted to suit local infrastructure and grid capacity.

What Developers Need to Know

ABR Electric, a trusted name in EV charger installation across North Texas, is already helping builders, HOAs, and property managers prepare for future code requirements, including:

Single-family homes: Installing at least one EV-capable parking space per home.

Multifamily housing & commercial developments: Equipping 15–20% of parking with Level 2 chargers, and an additional percentage as EV-capable for future expansion.

A Regional EV Charging Blueprint: Powering the Future of Collin County

Collin County, one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas, is laying the groundwork for a future powered by electric vehicles (EVs). With a surge in residential development, commercial expansion, and a tech-savvy population embracing sustainable solutions, the county’s EV infrastructure strategy is designed to be both scalable and accessible. This plan unfolds across three key tiers of planning:

1. Corridor-Level Planning: Connecting Cities Across North Texas

Strategic EV charger installations are being prioritized along major transportation arteries, including:

U.S. Highway 75 (Central Expressway) – a vital north-south corridor linking McKinney, Allen, Plano, and Dallas.

State Highway 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) – serving high-traffic areas in Frisco, The Colony, and McKinney, home to major destinations like Legacy West and the Frisco Star.

Dallas North Tollway – supporting commuters and business travelers between Plano, Frisco, Prosper, and the wider DFW Metroplex.

These routes are ideal locations for DC fast chargers, enabling long-range EV travel and reducing range anxiety for residents, commuters, and travelers heading to nearby hubs like DFW Airport.

2. Community-Level Planning: Empowering Suburbs and Shopping Centers

The heart of Collin County is its vibrant suburban communities. The EV charging blueprint ensures that retail, dining, and entertainment districts become EV-friendly zones, including:

Allen Premium Outlets – a major shopping destination drawing traffic from across North Texas.

Stonebriar Centre in Frisco – near The Star and Legacy West, frequented by both residents and business professionals.

Downtown McKinney and Historic Plano – integrating Level 2 chargers into walkable areas that support small businesses and local events.

The goal is to embed EV accessibility into everyday life, so EV owners can charge up while shopping, dining, or enjoying local events.

3. Site-Level Planning: Localized Charging at High-Impact Locations

To create a seamless charging experience, chargers are also being installed at specific, high-impact locations, including:

Public schools and colleges – such as Collin College campuses, where staff, students, and faculty can benefit from EV access.

Medical facilities and hospitals – including Baylor Scott & White and Medical City McKinney, where patients and visitors may have long dwell times.

Municipal buildings and libraries – integrating EV charging into civic infrastructure as part of a broader sustainability plan.

This micro-targeted approach ensures that charging is available where people live, work, and engage with their communities.

Powered by Partnerships & Programs: Fueling Collin County’s EV Future

The success of Collin County’s EV infrastructure push is not happening in isolation. It’s being powered by a strategic web of federal, state, and local partnerships—each playing a vital role in building a more electrified and sustainable future for the region. These programs bring funding, expertise, and structure to a rapidly growing network of EV charging options, ensuring that Collin County isn’t just keeping up with the times, but leading the charge in North Texas.

NEVI Formula Program: Federal Investment in Local Access

Through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, Texas is receiving significant federal funding to build a network of reliable, high-speed EV charging stations across designated corridors. For Collin County, this means:

Access to funds for building fast chargers along key routes like US-75, SH-121, and the Dallas North Tollway.

Prioritization of equity and accessibility, ensuring chargers are available not just in commercial areas, but also in underserved and high-growth communities.

ABR Electric is actively engaging with contractors and municipalities to ensure NEVI-funded projects are installed correctly and maintained reliably, delivering long-term value to the community.

Texas Electric Transportation Alliance (TxETA): Shaping the Rules of the Road

As a key policy advocate in the state, the Texas Electric Transportation Alliance (TxETA) helps develop EV-friendly policies, building codes, and utility coordination guidelines. Their work ensures:

Statewide consistency in charger requirements, inspection processes, and utility access.

Clear guidance for municipalities like McKinney, Allen, Frisco, and Plano on how to plan, zone, and permit EV installations.

By staying aligned with TxETA recommendations, ABR Electric ensures its installations meet both local and state expectations, helping developers and business owners navigate a complex but rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Workforce Development: Training the Next Generation of EV Experts

A key part of Collin County’s EV strategy is investing in skilled labor to support this infrastructure boom. In collaboration with:

Local trade schools and technical colleges

Independent training providers

Industry partners like ABR Electric

…the county is building a pipeline of certified EV charger installers, inspectors, and maintenance technicians. These workforce efforts not only fill critical roles but also create well-paying, future-proof jobs for local residents.

ABR Electric is on the front lines—mentoring apprentices, offering hands-on training, and sharing real-world expertise in installing Level 2 chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors, dual-port systems, and commercial-grade DC fast chargers.

“We believe in growing with the grid. The more EVs we see on the road, the more opportunity there is for young electricians to carve out a niche in this high-growth field,” says James Adams, Master Electrician at ABR Electric.

Leading the Charge: ABR Electric

With over a decade of electrical expertise, ABR Electric is helping future-proof homes and businesses with professional EV charger installations, including Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint systems, and dual-port Level 2 chargers. Whether you’re a homeowner or a developer in McKinney, Allen, Frisco, or Plano, ABR Electric ensures you’re ready for what’s next.

“We don’t just install chargers—we help power the future,” says James Adams, Master Electrician and owner of ABR Electric.

BlockBits Launches a Futures Trading Service, Offering Traders a Wide Range of Advanced Tools

Published

32 minutes ago

on

July 14, 2025

By

Dubai, UAE – 14/07/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – BlockBits, crypto futures trading platform, launch a new tool for advanced futures trading for higher potential returns with up to 200x leverage.

As cryptocurrency markets mature and price swings become more extreme, active traders are increasingly turning to risk management strategies once reserved for traditional finance. One strategy gaining notable traction is hedging – protecting open positions by opening an opposing trade to balance potential losses.

Unlike in stocks or commodities, hedging in crypto has only recently become practical for a wider range of traders. With the expansion of futures and perpetual contracts, traders can now offset price movements without selling or transferring their core holdings – a key advantage for long-term investors facing short-term market uncertainty.

“For example, a trader holding a major crypto asset can hedge against sudden volatility by opening a short futures position. If the asset’s price drops, gains from the short can help offset losses on the original holding – providing greater peace of mind in unpredictable conditions”, – said in company.

Recognizing this growing need, several crypto exchanges are now integrating built-in hedging tools. Features such as the ability to hold both long and short positions on the same pair within a single account are making once-complex strategies more accessible. This is especially important for traders using high leverage or delta-neutral approaches, where profits and losses on opposite positions can balance each other out.

Such tools also reduce trading costs by avoiding the need to close and reopen positions repeatedly – a process that can rack up fees and slippage in fast-moving markets. A smoother, single-interface experience means traders can react faster to market shifts without interrupting their broader investment plans.

One platform at the forefront of this trend is BlockBits, which has designed its trading environment specifically with hedging in mind. Users can open long and short positions simultaneously on the same pair, track risk and margin separately, and monitor real-time profit/loss and liquidation levels across both sides. In a recent example with the ETH/USDT pair, BlockBits traders were able to hold dual up to 200× leverage positions – a feature not always offered by other exchanges.

By integrating hedging into the core trading interface, platforms like BlockBits are helping crypto derivatives mature – providing tools that cater to both aggressive trading and robust risk management. As more traders seek to balance exposure without sacrificing opportunity, such innovations are set to become a standard part of the crypto futures landscape.

  • Accreditations & Compliance: Partner facilities are ISO 9001, AS9100C, and NATO STANAG certified. Several have active contracts with the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Powering the Next Wave of Innovation

AI is hitting the limits of centralized, static models. Darwin offers a radically different path: a decentralized, self-evolving intelligence ecosystem that learns, adapts, and improves autonomously. Unlike traditional AI, it requires a fraction of the computing resources and human oversight to drive progress. This isn’t just a research concept—it’s in advanced development today, built in collaboration with some of the world’s leading defense and industrial partners.

Launch Details:

  • Token: $DARWIN
  • Chain: Solana
  • Launch Date: Tuesday, July 15th, 2025
