AZIO AI and EVTV Progress with an additional 6 MW of Behind-the-Meter Power and Multi-Megawatt AI Infrastructure Order
Rhea-AI Summary
AZIO AI announced a new customer order from Envirotech Vehicles (NASDAQ: EVTV) to expand modular AI data center infrastructure at a South Texas site. The deployment is expected to support about 5 MW of high-density AI compute, integrated with behind-the-meter natural gas power.
The companies are also evaluating a potential merger, under a non-binding LOI in which AZIO AI could merge into EVTV. Any transaction and the new deployment remain subject to definitive agreements, approvals, site readiness, and other customary conditions.
Positive

AI-related announcements have produced mixed reactions, with several positive execution updates followed by negative price moves and only two clear positive alignments.
Recent AI-focused news for Envirotech Vehicles highlights a steady build-out of AZIO AI-powered infrastructure. Since Jan 26, 2026, the company has progressed from delivery of an immersion-ready AI container to on-site engineering validation on Feb 4, high-performance system delivery on Feb 25, and commercial allocation and deposit updates on Mar 4. Activation of a revenue-generating compute platform on Apr 15 furthered the shift toward AI infrastructure. Today’s multi‑megawatt South Texas order and added power build directly on this execution path.

Data Center Deployment and Expanded Power Capacity Reflect Continued Progress from Merger LOI
The order is expected to support approximately 5 megawatts (MW) of high-density compute capacity and represents a meaningful step forward in AZIO AI's strategy to deploy scalable AI infrastructure integrated directly with dedicated energy resources.
Deployment remains subject to customary conditions, including manufacturing, delivery, site readiness, and commissioning.
Building Momentum from LOI to Execution
In January 2026, AZIO AI and Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) outlining a strategic framework pursuant to which Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. would acquire
Over the past several months, the companies have worked to align AZIO AI's modular AI infrastructure platform with EVTV's evolving focus on energy systems and power infrastructure. Through this process, both parties have identified a shared opportunity to address one of the most significant constraints in AI infrastructure today—access to reliable, scalable power.
The
Transaction Framework
The previously disclosed LOI contemplates a potential transaction in which AZIO AI would merge into EVTV. The structure, timing, and terms of any such transaction remain under evaluation.
Any transaction would be subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, as well as board and shareholder approvals, regulatory considerations, and customary conditions. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be completed.
Power + Compute: A Differentiated Model
A key feature of the
The Company believes this model provides several potential advantages:
- Consistent 24/7 power availability
- Reduced dependence on grid interconnection timelines
- Greater cost predictability
- Infrastructure scaling directly aligned with available power
Positioned for Growing AI Infrastructure Demand
AZIO AI believes that integrating power and compute at the infrastructure level is increasingly important as AI workloads expand and traditional grid resources face capacity constraints.
Multi-megawatt deployments such as this are expected to serve as building blocks for broader platform scaling over time, subject to successful execution and market conditions.
Management Commentary
"Since signing the LOI in January, we've worked closely with EVTV to evaluate how our platforms integrate in real-world conditions," said Chris Young, Chief Executive Officer of AZIO AI. "That process has highlighted a strong alignment between power and compute, and this order reflects meaningful progress. We believe the work being done today is helping to inform the next phases of both of our company's."
