Leon County FL Sheriff’s Office Deploys Beam Global EV ARC™ Off-Grid EV Charging for City Fleet
November 02 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
Leon County’s Sheriff’s Office in Tallahassee Florida has deployed
the EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging system to charge department
fleet EVs. The system was purchased through the Florida Sheriff’s
Association (FSA) contract number FSA20-EQU18.0 Heavy Equipment
which has pre-negotiated pricing and simplifies the procurement
process.
Leon County’s EV ARC™ charging system fits in a standard parking
space and is equipped with a dual port charger to serve the growing
fleet of electric vehicles. The EV ARC™ system generates and stores
its own clean electricity and delivers that electricity to power
City EVs day or night, and during inclement weather and power
outages. Flood proof to 9.5 feet and wind-rated to 120 mph, the
charging system adds to the City’s energy resiliency and disaster
preparedness. 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 Leon County Sheriff’s Office is exploring the required
infrastructure to initiate electrifying our fleet in FY 2025.
Driving on Florida’s ample sunshine will allow us to collect the
data we need to properly and accurately plan our future
infrastructure needs. We will be able to collect the kWhs required
to supply our Vehicle Miles Traveled. We are focused on reducing
our petroleum usage, fleet maintenance costs, and support Leon
County’s sustainability initiatives,” said Tim Coxwell CAFM CPFP
CEM, Fleet Director of Leon County Sheriff’s Office. “The Beam EV
ARC charger deployed in one day, with no costly construction
project to disrupt department business. Because it is independent
of the grid and transportable, we were able to put the EV ARC
charger where we wanted charging, and we can move it if needed. We
also were able to avoid lengthy delays associated the permitting
process for traditional grid powered charging stations.”
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 county budgets.
“We are seeing increased interest from states to provide EV
charging infrastructure that can survive extreme weather events and
provide a hedge against lost charging infrastructure due to
flooding or blackouts. It makes perfect sense for the Sunshine
State to drive on sunshine,” said Beam Global CEO, Desmond
Wheatley. “To keep up with increasing state mandates, rapid and
scalable deployment is crucial. The EV ARC is the only rapidly
deployed, sustainable EV charging solution on the market that is
off-grid, transportable and can be deployed in minutes instead of
months. It requires no permitting, no electrical work, no
construction and generates no utility bill.”
Beam Global was awarded the statewide contract from the Florida
Sheriffs Association (FSA) in partnership with the Florida
Association of Counties. The contract includes the flagship EV ARC™
2020 and EV ARC™ DCFC sustainable EV charging infrastructure
systems under the category Power Charging, with a contract term
through September 30, 2023. This is the premier contract in the
state for police, fire, municipalities and universities.
