Pollo AI Launches Consistent Character Video to Maintain Consistency of Characters, Objects, or Scenes in Generated Videos

Published

on

SINGAPORE, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pollo AI  continues to raise the bar in AI video generation with the addition of its latest feature: Consistent Character Video, which can transform still images into high quality AI videos, while maintaining consistency of characters, objects, or scenes throughout every frame.

Users can upload one or up to three images of a subject to the tool – it could be a person’s face, for example, or image(s) of an inanimate object, like an appliance or piece of clothing, or image(s) of specific scenes. The AI video generator will then use the image(s) as the reference point(s) when generating its video content, ensuring that the original visuals are accurately and consistently portrayed.

This way, users can make multiple videos while keeping the same consistent subjects. They can make themselves the star of numerous clips, for example, or incorporate real-life items into their video creations. While other elements of the videos may change, the core subjects you choose will always remain consistent.

The uses for this are numerous. Brands, for example, could upload images of their latest products and then make various AI-generated videos featuring those products in a range of settings and scenarios. Or creators could make entire feature-length films by generating multiple short-form AI videos with the same consistent subjects in different scenes.

You could even upload an image of a famous landmark or monument, and instruct the tool to use that throughout your video creations. This makes it so much easier to create sequences or series of videos with the same consistent background, environment, or setting – a feat that many AI video generators have historically struggled with.

It’s a huge leap forward for AI video technology. Before the Consistent Character Video Generator, many users had expressed frustration when it came to trying to keep the same characters and subjects in multiple AI-generated videos. But with this new tool, that challenge has been solved.

What’s more, the Consistent Character Video Generator is backed up by Pollo AI’s advanced algorithms and powerful technology. Thanks to that, it’s able to make some of the most visually impressive AI videos, with cinematic levels of quality, fluid motion, realistic physics, and other desirable characteristics.

Plus, just like other AI videos generated with Pollo AI, the user has total control over various aspects, such as the aspect ratio, the length of the video, the resolution, and the camera movement. With this bold new addition, Pollo AI continues to assert itself as one of the leading and most innovative names in the AI video sphere.

Electric Era Teams with WEX to Drive Customers and Revenue to Retail-Based Charging Locations

Published

By

SEATTLE, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electric Era, America’s leading retail-first EV charging company, today announced the addition of WEX® fleet payment processing services to their retail-based EV fast charging systems across the U.S.

Adding WEX fleet cards as a payment option underscores Electric Era’s unique strategy to design DC fast charging systems that function as marketing platforms for retailers to draw-in customers to grow sales revenues. With WEX, Electric Era’s chargers are available to WEX Fleet EV drivers to use at prominent fuel retailers in the Skycharger Network, Plaid Pantry and Space Age locations, and will be rolling out across Electric Era stations at Love’s Travel Stops, Giant Eagle and more soon.

“Our vision is to make EV charging as ubiquitous as traditional petroleum fueling with equally dependable charging stations located in safe, accessible locations to drive traffic and revenues to retail and food establishments,” said Quincy Lee, Electric Era CEO and founder. “By adding WEX, we’re creating new opportunities to drive even more store traffic to our retail customers, while simplifying payment processing for EV drivers and fleet operators.”

With the addition of WEX, commercial EV drivers will be able to use their WEX EV RFID or WEX DriverDash® mobile app to charge at Electric Era EV charging sites, and utilize WEX’s proprietary payment network to process payments, while simultaneously capturing charging data, driver ID, locations and vehicle mileage. This allows fleet managers to simplify billing, controls and expense tracking for both their electric-powered and internal combustion engine (ICE) fleet vehicles simultaneously.

“We’re focused on making mixed-energy fleet management seamless for fleet operators, and this is an important step toward making that happen,” said Sarah Booth, senior director, WEX Connected Fleet. “This collaboration with Electric Era adds reliable, retail adjacent EV fast charging to our growing network and will help our customers efficiently manage both electric and traditional fueled vehicles within a single account.”

Simple and easy to use, Electric Era’s EV chargers are available to all EV drivers and do not require special apps or accounts to use them. Simply tap a valid credit, debit or – and now a WEX RFID card – to pay for charging. EV fleet drivers can also pay via the WEX DriverDash mobile app.

A Retail-First EV Charging Platform
Founded by a SpaceX engineer, Electric Era reimagines high-power EV charging systems from the ground up to break down the barriers to rapid deployment of highly reliable DC fast charging systems. To make level-3 DC fast charging a profitable, market-driven solution, Electric Era designed their chargers specific for retail businesses to leverage retail adjacency and utilize the charging kiosks as an extension of company brand and retail space.

Electric Era’s patented battery-backed power architecture and energy management system enables their chargers to be installed as fast as 60-days, while delivering 400 kW max charge output with 99.8% per-port reliability – the new industry standard.

To help convenience stores and fuel retailers leverage the unique revenue-driving opportunities of DC fast charging systems, Electric Era provides complete start-to-finish, turn-key installations of their retailer-branded chargers – including successfully coordinating grant funding that reduces upfront CapEx costs to de-risk deployments and generate faster ROI.

About Electric Era
Electric Era is the only full-service EV charging solutions provider focused on the rapid deployment of highly reliable Level-3 DCFC systems at retail locations to grow and extend their retail space. Electric Era’s patented battery-backed charging architecture and bespoke, retail-first charging solutions deliver industry-leading power and reliability in a package that dramatically reduces installation time and energy costs.
