Electric Bike Company was once the go-to source for US-built electric beach cruiser bikes. Now that they’ve expanded into folders, adventure-style e-bikes, and e-mopeds (like the Model J here), EBC seems like the go-to source for a much wider range of locally-assembled e-bikes.
But the even bigger differentiator, outside of the Southern California-based assembly, is that you can customize the bike with thousands of color customizations on every part, plus a huge array of accessories.

Two weeks ago, GM and Pilot Flying J announced that the first batch of DC fast charging stations the two are building in partnership had come online. What wasn’t known until now is that one of those stations — specifically, in Ohio — was built using funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s program to build a nationwide EV charging network, NEVI.
The Pilot Flying J DC fast charging station in London, Ohio was opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week, and it is the first such station built using NEVI funds, according to the Ohio DOT. The 350 kW stalls split to 175 kW per vehicle when both sides of the charging pylon are in use.
NEVI will allocate $5 billion to the various states over the course of the program’s duration, which runs through 2026. Ohio was earmarked for $20 million in funding in 2022, and was estimated to receive around $30 million in funding for 2023.
For its part, the station is just one of among over 2,000 stalls that GM and Pilot Flying J plan to build at 500 of PFJ’s locations — which is to say, presumably only a fraction of those being built are using NEVI funds. NEVI requirements state that each charger in a giving location must be able to supply at least 150 kW of power, that there must be at least four such chargers (with CCS connectors), and at least 600 kW of total power per location (meaning a single 350 kW stall on its own would not qualify for funds).
The first supplier to win an order using NEVI funds was Tritium, from the state of Hawaii back in July. Presumably, we’ll be hearing a lot about NEVI chargers coming online in the next year as the states begin to actually deploy the systems they’ve purchased — for example, Utah says it will use those funds to double its DC fast charging capacity in 2024.
