Collin County Expands EV Charging Infrastructure with Support from ABR Electric

Published

5 months ago

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.

VirPoint Announces Expansion of UK and European Operations, Demonstrating Its Leading Position in Digital Asset Strategy

Published

11 hours ago

on

October 20, 2025

By

London, UK – 20/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – VirPoint.com, a leading multi-asset trading platform, recently announced the expansion of its crypto and digital asset investment business in the UK and Europe. Under the leadership of Alexander Melnik, Senior Investment Specialist and Head of Crypto Desk, the crypto and digital asset investment division continues to perform strongly. This continued outperformance reflects VirPoint’s ongoing commitment to delivering measurable value to clients through a combination of advanced analytics, AI-driven trading tools, and experienced human insight.

In 2023, portfolios managed within VirPoint’s Crypto Desk achieved average annual returns of 18.2%, exceeding the company’s overall performance average of 8.5%, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Select digital-asset strategies under the division generated returns of up to 27%, highlighting the platform’s success in integrating blockchain-based investments with traditional CFD and equity frameworks.

 

“VirPoint’s strength lies in our ability to merge institutional discipline with innovation,” said a company spokesperson. “Under Melnik’s direction, the Crypto Desk has become a model for how technology and expert strategy can work together to navigate volatility and capture long-term growth opportunities.”

The performance reinforces VirPoint’s position as a trusted partner for Prime-tier and institutional clients seeking diversified exposure across global markets. By aligning advanced trading infrastructure with strategic portfolio management, VirPoint continues to deliver consistent outcomes in both traditional and emerging asset classes.

Investment Philosophy: AI-Enhanced Human Insight

Melnik is a vocal advocate for technology-assisted investing, describing himself as “a big fan of innovation when it serves human intelligence not replaces it.” Within VirPoint’s ecosystem, he has helped refine the AI-based tools that monitor market sentiment, volatility, and correlation risk. Clients receive personal guidance on setting up these features through one-on-one Zoom or phone sessions, where Melnik explains each metric and integrates it into their trading strategy.

His risk-management philosophy follows two core frameworks used by top institutional desks:

  • The Kelly Criterion Adaptation – optimizing position size relative to the probability of success to maximize long-term portfolio growth while controlling drawdowns.
  • Value-at-Risk (VaR) Discipline – maintaining exposure within statistically defined loss thresholds, ensuring stability even during unexpected volatility.

By blending these quantitative techniques with intuition built from years on trading floors, Melnik helps clients capture opportunities while safeguarding capital – what he calls “the art of growing without overreaching.”

In 2024, Alexander Melnik and his team were honored with the VirPoint Excellence Award for outstanding performance and deep client satisfaction. The prestigious award, now prominently displayed in the firm’s headquarters, serves as a symbol of Melnik’s lasting impact on client trust and results.

Beyond the accolade, he is widely respected for his mentorship of new specialists within VirPoint, always emphasizing integrity, patience, and emotional intelligence as pillars of advisory excellence. His mentorship sessions consistently draw ambitious younger traders eager to learn to balance technical rigor with psychological resilience.

Melnik also leads advanced internal training sessions focused on modern asset allocation principles, where he promotes his signature strategy of combining traditional investments with digital assets to improve overall portfolio performance. His approach to strategic reallocation within blockchain-linked instruments has helped clients achieve higher percentage returns while maintaining strong risk control, a philosophy that has since been adopted by several VirPoint advisors across the firm.

 

Under his guidance, many junior advisors have doubled their client satisfaction scores and demonstrated marked improvements in portfolio stability across volatile markets.

For Melnik, education is not a task – it’s a philosophy. He believes clients should understand why they invest, not just where. His trademark line, repeated in countless client meetings, summarizes this mindset:

“Education is the king. Don’t ask yourself if this or if that choose this and that. In diversity and knowledge lies real stability.”

Looking Ahead: Join the VirPoint Community

As VirPoint.com continues to expand its presence across the UK and Europe, the firm is deepening its commitment to client education and empowerment. New investors are invited to join VirPoint’s New Client Program, which includes a complimentary introductory Zoom session led by experienced specialists such as Alexander Melnik. These sessions cover platform navigation, strategy fundamentals, and effective use of VirPoint’s AI tools – giving clients the confidence to trade smarter from the start.

Prospective traders can register directly on VirPoint.com to open an account, explore the VirPoint Academy, and access free resources including tutorials, webinars, and market guides. Whether you are new to CFD trading or managing a diverse portfolio, VirPoint offers the tools, education, and expert support to help you take the next step in your financial journey.

GC LNC Leading Global Finance into a New Era of Innovation and Expansion

Published

15 hours ago

on

October 20, 2025

By

In the rapidly evolving world of international finance, few companies have managed to combine traditional credibility with bold innovation as effectively as Global Capital (GC). As a financial firm with a strong foundation in institutional services, GC has steadily transformed itself into a comprehensive platform encompassing diverse asset classes, advanced technology applications, and a global presence. Among its strategic initiatives, GC LNC stands out as a core project, driving the financial industry toward a more intelligent and diversified era.

Today, global financial markets are at a pivotal juncture. Interest rate cycles, inflationary pressures, geopolitical realignments, and technological breakthroughs are reshaping investment rules. Investors seek both stability and innovation, retail clients demand access to opportunities once reserved for elite institutions, and regulators strive to balance transparency with growth. Against this backdrop, GC has built GC LNC to integrate traditional strengths with frontier innovations: leveraging its solid conventional finance foundation for credibility while advancing into real-world asset tokenization, AI applications, and cross-border structuring to stay ahead in the evolving market.

GC LNC’s innovation in real-world assets (RWA) is particularly notable. By tokenizing real estate, commodities, infrastructure, and even intellectual property, making them tradable on modern platforms, GC breaks traditional liquidity barriers and opens wider channels for wealth creation. Investors who previously faced high entry thresholds in commercial real estate or private infrastructure projects can now participate fractionally through blockchain-backed systems. GC LNC not only enhances liquidity but also redefines the way capital is formed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is another core pillar of GC LNC’s strategy. The platform uses AI not only for market prediction but also to personalize wealth management, optimize cross-border tax efficiency, and enhance compliance systems. By analyzing global data flows—ranging from commodity prices to geopolitical risk indicators—GC LNC provides investors with insights far beyond traditional analysis, creating unique value for institutional clients.

GC LNC’s global expansion strategy is equally forward-looking. With financial growth shifting to Asia, emerging opportunities in Africa, and evolving hubs in the Middle East, capital flows are becoming multipolar. GC establishes offices abroad, partners with local institutions, and adapts products to regional regulations and cultures, achieving a truly international presence without being limited to a single market.

Moreover, GC LNC pursues growth with both prudence and flexibility. In regions where infrastructure development drives economic growth, the platform leverages its expertise in large-scale project structuring and asset tokenization; in markets with developing financial literacy, it emphasizes transparency and trust-building, ensuring responsible expansion.

Looking ahead, the uncertainty and volatility of global finance demand strategies that combine wealth preservation with innovative returns. GC LNC’s hybrid approach—merging traditional wealth management with RWA investments and AI-driven platforms—meets precisely these needs. The platform bridges the gap between conventional finance and technological innovation, offering clients solutions that are both reliable and forward-looking.

At the same time, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations are increasingly central to capital allocation. GC LNC has integrated sustainability metrics into its investment models, ensuring that tokenized assets and AI strategies align with global priorities. This not only highlights the firm’s financial innovation but also positions it as a responsible participant in the global financial ecosystem.

In summary, GC LNC represents Global Capital’s strategic core in the new era of global finance. By blending traditional credibility with technological innovation, it is driving the market toward intelligence, digitalization, and globalization. Over the next decade, GC LNC is poised to become a benchmark for defining financial services, guiding investors through market volatility and unlocking new opportunities for global wealth creation.
