Beam Global Receives $4.8M Order from U.S. Department of Homeland Security for Sustainable EV Charging Infrastructure Products
January 23 2024 - 6:00AM
Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), a leading provider of
innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the
electrification of transportation and energy security, today
announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has
ordered 47 Beam EV ARC™ sustainable off-grid charging systems and
16 ARC Mobility™ trailers to enable efficient transportation of the
products. The EV ARC™ systems will be deployed to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Customs Border Patrol (CBP),
Coast Guard (USCG), Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers
(FLETC) and Secret Service (USSS).
Executive Order (EO) 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries
and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability, prioritizes federal
investment in energy-resilient infrastructure for EV charging,
powered by locally produced and delivered renewable energy for
America’s next-generation electricity supply. The purchase was made
through the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award
Schedule (MAS) Contract Number 47QSWA21D0006 which simplifies the
federal procurement process and ensures best pricing.
The DHS charging systems will be deployed in Alabama, Arizona,
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and West
Virginia. The Beam EV ARC™ systems are off-grid and powered by
renewable energy, generating and storing their own clean
electricity. Each system is deployed with no construction, no
electrical work, no utility connection and is delivered as a
turnkey sustainable charging solution. Because EV ARC™ systems are
flood-proof to 9.5 feet, wind-rated to 160 mph and continue to
provide electricity during blackouts, they are particularly well
suited to provide disaster preparedness for DHS component agencies.
The ARC Mobility™ trailer is a specialized hydraulic transport
system designed to efficiently relocate EV ARC™ charging systems
without the requirement for any other equipment or site work.
“Disaster preparedness and energy resiliency are imperative for
national security. Rapidly deployed, off-grid EV ARC systems
provide sustainable charging for federal fleet EVs and vital
electricity for DHS personnel and first responders, which is always
important but especially so during emergencies or power outages,”
said Desmond Wheatley, Beam Global CEO. “Beam Global’s sustainable
EV charging solutions create American manufacturing jobs to produce
products that serve zero emission transportation and emergency
power with 100% locally generated renewable and resilient
energy.”
The federal fleet is comprised of approximately 657,500
vehicles. Executive Order 14057 with its accompanying Federal
Sustainability Plan calls for 100% zero-emission vehicle
acquisitions by 2035, including 100% light-duty acquisitions by
2027. This is prioritizing and accelerating a Federal Clean
Electricity and Vehicle Procurement Strategy, calling for clean and
zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) for federal, state, local and tribal
government fleets, including vehicles of the United States Postal
Service.Beam products can be procured through the General Services
Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract Number
47QSWA21D0006 which simplifies the federal procurement process and
ensures best pricing.
