Beam Global gets order from City of Austin for sustainable EV charging products
In California, Beam Global, a provider of innovative sustainable products and technologies for electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage and energy security announced that it received an order for EV ARC solar-powered EV charging and ARC Mobility trailer solutions from the City of Austin in Texas. The Beam Global EV ARC off-grid EV charging systems qualify as disaster preparedness assets because they continue to charge EVs during grid outages and can be equipped with an emergency power panel for first responder use in emergencies. The City of Austin selected the dual-plug charger configuration which charges two EVs simultaneously, and the Emergency Power Panel with 120V and 240V electric outlets. “Capacity, resiliency and energy security are increasingly important to anyone who is adding EV charging at their location. The recent increase in orders from different Texas government entities mirrors the disaster preparedness plans gaining funding and momentum across the United States and internationally,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “Electric vehicle operators need access to charging during increasingly frequent grid outages. Our EV ARC solar-powered systems provide vital EV charging and emergency power during utility grid power failures. We are seeing increasing sales from entities that need EV charging faster than traditional construction projects allow and disaster preparedness at all times. EV ARC systems solve for both requirements.”
