BYD plans to introduce its megawatt-class flash-charging network in Canada, marking its first high-power charging infrastructure push into North America. The move is positioned as groundwork for future EV sales, using self-built infrastructure to address local charging pain points. If it improves winter charging performance, BYD could echo Tesla’s early strategy of turning charging access into a market advantage.
Euwyn Poon, co-founder of e-scooter company Spin, has raised $5 million for his new startup, Orbital. The company aims to launch 10,000 space-based data centers into orbit. By moving compute infrastructure into space, Orbital seeks to bypass Earth's power and cooling constraints while providing edge computing capabilities directly in orbit.
Kevin O’Leary has agreed to shrink his planned 40,000-acre data center in Utah, according to The Verge, citing local affiliate ABC4. He sent a letter to Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams saying he would remove 19,430 acres from the project. The move shows how large AI and cloud infrastructure projects can face local resistance over land use and community impact.
Z-COM will officially introduce NEW Platform at Computex 2026. The edge-native infrastructure combines network control, AI operations, and energy management in a single architecture. Its stated goal is to support local AI computing and help enterprises reduce dependence on cloud providers and avoid cloud lock-in.
SpaceX says it needs significant water resources to cool its data centers. The company identifies access to abundant, affordable water as a challenge. As SpaceX moves toward an IPO, water availability has become a risk factor for investors to consider alongside its infrastructure needs.
Taiwan's National Space Organization (TASA) faced a setback as the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for its Jiupeng launch site was sent back for corrections due to insufficient air pollution and noise evaluations. The project is critical for Taiwan's space autonomy, aiming to launch a 200kg-class satellite into orbit by 2034. TASA must address ecological and local community concerns before proceeding.
