City of San José Deploys Beam Global EV ARC™ Sustainable EV Charging Systems
November 09 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 San José in California has deployed four EV ARC™
solar-powered EV charging systems to charge City fleet EVs. The
systems were purchased through the California Department of General
Services (DGS) Contract #1-18-61-16, which serves to simplify the
government procurement process and make chosen solutions available
statewide at the best negotiated pricing.
The City of San José’s EV ARC™ charging systems fit in a
standard parking space and are equipped with a dual port charger to
serve the City’s growing fleet of electric vehicles. Each 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 product 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.“San José has always been a
visionary city when it comes to sustainability. We have a goal
to operate all-electric, zero-net-carbon new municipal
facilities,” said Walter Lin, Public Works Deputy
Director of the City of San José. “City fleet vehicles
can charge sustainably and cost-effectively with the Beam
EV ARC™ solar electric vehicle charging systems bringing
the city that much closer to achieving our clean energy
future.” Transportable, the City’s EV ARC systems can be
relocated as fleet charging patterns emerge, for City events, and
as an emergency energy source. One EV ARC™ will be relocated for
demonstration at the Fleet Forward conference at Hayes Mansion in
San José on November 10-12, a premier event focused on innovations
in the electrification of transportation.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.
“By deploying 100% renewably-powered Beam Global charging
infrastructure solutions, San José is demonstrating its standing as
a climate and resiliency leader,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond
Wheatley. “With demand for EVs continuing to rise, municipalities
in California and beyond are recognizing the cost and time savings
unlocked by sustainable, transportable EV ARC systems for their
rapidly growing charging needs.”California Governor Gavin Newsom’s
commitments to fast-track progress toward environmental goals
include $1.5 billion in stimulus spending dedicated to
zero-emission vehicles and new charging systems. This proposal
follows a September 2020 mandate banning the sale of new gasoline
and diesel vehicles in the state by 2035. The need for more
sustainable EV charging infrastructure is also gaining traction at
the national level, with President Biden announcing $555 billion
for green jobs and infrastructure spending.About Beam
