Beam Global Deploys EV ARC™ Sustainable EV Charging for City of Costa Mesa CA
March 17 2022 - 8:00AM
Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), the leading provider of
innovative, sustainable products and technologies for electric
vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, energy security and outdoor
media, today announced that the City of Costa Mesa in Orange County
California has deployed an EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging system
to charge the Senior Center electric shuttle bus and other City
fleet electric vehicles. The system was 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 Costa Mesa’s EV ARC™ charging
system fits in a standard parking space and is equipped with a dual
port ClipperCreek brand charger capable of charging two vehicles
simultaneously. The solar-powered 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. Off grid, flood proof to 9.5 feet and wind-rated to 125
mph, the product adds to the City’s energy resiliency and disaster
preparedness. The charging system is transportable and can be
relocated as City charging patterns emerge and change.“The City of
Costa Mesa continues to make excellent progress in our
sustainability initiatives,” said Salem Afeworki, Energy and
Sustainability Services Manager at the City of San Diego. “The EV
ARC solar EV charging station deployed at the Senior Center
provides clean energy to our electric shuttle bus for a zero
emissions transportation option.”The EV ARC system was deployed at
the City of Costa Mesa’s Senior Center (view video). 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 City of Costa Mesa is demonstrating that EV ARC
systems aren’t just good for sedans but can fuel transit as well,”
said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “With the lower total cost
of ownership of electric vehicles now a broadly accepted fact,
fleet electrification is being prioritized by federal, state and
local governments as well as a growing number of commercial and
enterprise operators. Skyrocketing gas prices due to current
geo-political developments are only increasing the urgency. The EV
ARC is powered 100% by the sun with no grid connection to achieve
zero emissions transportation.”California Governor Gavin Newsom’s
commitments to fast-track progress toward environmental goals
includes $2 billion over four years in dedicated funding to
zero-emission infrastructure, vehicles and equipment. This proposal
follows the 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 $7.5 billion
for EV charging infrastructure.
