Beam Global Receives First U.S. Marine Corps Order for EV ARC™ Off-Grid EV Charging and Energy Resiliency Systems for 14 Bases
October 07 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
U.S. Marine Corps has placed a first order for 21 EV ARC™
solar-powered EV charging systems to be deployed across 14 Marine
Corps bases in the continental U.S. and Hawaii to support Executive
Order 14008 on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad. The
systems were purchased through the General Services Administration
(GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract Number 47QSWA21D0006
which simplifies the federal procurement process and ensures best
pricing.
The Marine Corps Installations Command (MCICOM)
requires a turnkey charging infrastructure solution to solve
near-term charging requirements without having to wait for
construction and electrical projects to be completed. The Beam EV
ARC is an American made, rapidly deployable, transportable,
off-grid and solar-powered EV charging system that supports the
accelerating integration of electric vehicles into the Marine
Corps’ non-tactical vehicles (NTV) fleet.
The Marine Corps’ EV ARC™ systems are off-grid and
powered by renewable energy, generating and storing their own clean
electricity. Each system is equipped with two EV chargers that are
factory integrated at Beam and is delivered as a turnkey
sustainable charging system that can power EVs, day or night, and
during inclement weather and power outages. The transportable but
permanent units include the Emergency Power Panel option for use
during blackouts or in locations where there is no utility
connection available.
Requiring no connection to the utility grid, EV
ARC™ systems also serve as energy resiliency and energy security
assets that can be relocated to charge vehicles in the event of
power failures, natural disasters or emergency situations.
“The Federal Government is affirming that the
electrification of transportation in the U.S. is vital to improving
our economy, competitive position, national security and public
health. EV ARC systems are the fastest deployed and most scalable
sustainable EV charging infrastructure solution and require no
construction, no electrical work and generate no utility bill,”
said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “Beam is a proud employer of
veterans. We’ve had a lot of retired marines working to produce our
products. Now we’re delighted to support their active-duty brothers
and sisters in arms with reliable American invented and American
made EV charging infrastructure products.”
The U.S. federal government fleet encompasses about
657,000 cars, SUVs and trucks. In January Executive Order 14008 was
signed directing agencies to dramatically increase the number of
electric vehicles in the government fleet to help tackle the
climate crisis. Beam’s EV charging infrastructure products are
included on the federal GSA MAS Contract as the result of an
extensive evaluation process conducted by GSA that serves as a
testament to the company’s capabilities, performance history and
customer satisfaction. For more information on purchasing Beam’s EV
ARC™ ready-to-deploy sustainable EV charging solutions through the
