City of Goleta CA Orders Beam Global EV ARC™ Off-Grid EV Charging System for Public EV Charging
September 14 2021 - 8:00AM
Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), the leading provider of
innovative sustainable technology for electric vehicle (EV)
charging, outdoor media and energy security, announced that the
City of Goleta in California has ordered an EV ARC™ solar-powered
EV charging system to be placed at Goleta City Hall for public EV
charging. The system was funded in part by grants from the Santa
Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and California
Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), and was
purchased through California Contract #1-18-61-16 which simplifies
the procurement process and ensures best pricing.
The City of Goleta’s EV ARC™ unit is equipped with a
ChargePoint™ Dual Port charger and can power up to 265 e-miles of
driving in a day. The EV ARC™ system generates and stores its own
clean electricity and delivers that electricity to power EVs, day
or night, and during inclement weather and power outages. The
transportable but permanent unit includes the Emergency Power Panel
option for first responder use during blackouts or in locations
where there is no utility connection available.
“The City of Goleta is having the EV ARC solar-powered EV
charger deployed at City Hall for public charging, advancing our
goal to have our municipal facilities powered by 100% renewable
energy by 2025,” said Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte. She added, “Our
city has made providing safe, reliable, affordable energy
alternatives a priority for our community. This is another
important step on our path toward both achieving sustainable energy
and combating climate change.”
Requiring no connection to the utility grid, Beam Global
products eliminate disruptive construction projects, costly
electric circuit upgrades and utility charges to deliver
significant long-term savings to city budgets.
“The California Contract is fast becoming a key EV ARC
purchasing vehicle for local and state government entities, across
the US not just in California, who can now take advantage of best
pricing negotiated by the State of California,” said Beam Global
CEO Desmond Wheatley. “The City of Goleta is saving tax-payer
dollars by selecting a system that requires no electrical work, no
construction and generates no utility bill. Residents and visitors
to Goleta can have access to sustainable EV charging, and enjoy
Driving on Sunshine.”
Grant funding like the 2021 Clean Air Grants for Infrastructure
program offered by Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control
District and the Cal OES Community Power Resiliency Allocation to
Cities Program are increasingly including or requiring off-grid
infrastructure solutions for energy and EV charging security.
Beam’s product portfolio is ideally suited for these types of
funding opportunities and Beam views this type of spending as a
significant opportunity especially in light of the $7.2B in the
IIJA Infrastructure Package and a further $13.5B in the House
Energy and Commerce committee’s recommended support for EV
charging.
