Beam Global sells a versatile off-grid solar-powered EV charging solution that has proven quite popular with municipalities. The company recently deployed six more of its EV ARC solar-powered EV charging systems for the city of Long Beach, California. The deployment consists of four EV ARC systems supporting the city’s EV fleet operations and two additional EV ARC systems at Long Beach Airport for fleet charging.

The EV ARC systems generate and store electrical energy on-site, enabling EV charging to be rapidly deployed and relocated as operational requirements evolve. The deployment supports the city’s transition to electric fleet vehicles while avoiding the cost and disruption associated with conventional charging infrastructure installation and operation. By using off-grid EV charging systems, the city has found that it can add charging capacity where it is needed without increasing demand on existing electrical infrastructure.

“Study after study shows that fleet operators who electrify their fleets save money, reduce downtime and maintenance, reduce emissions, and improve working conditions for their employees,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “Beam Global’s EV charging infrastructure products enable fleet operators to scale up charging infrastructure with the lowest total cost of ownership and with the least disruption. They get to deploy EV charging where they need it without going through lengthy design, engineering, construction and electrical projects, and they get to operate with zero unit cost for the electricity that they use to fuel their vehicles.”
