Beam Global, a prominent player in the sustainable infrastructure and clean transportation sector, has secured a significant coup with six federal entities placing their initial orders for the company's innovative EV ARC™ solar-powered charging systems, as reported by Beam Global earlier today. The systems, known for their ability to operate off-grid by generating and storing their solar energy, promise to alleviate the need for costly construction, electrical work, and the burden of ongoing utility bills for these federal buyers, including the Defense Media Activity, the Food and Drug Administration, and four other agencies.
The appeal of these EV ARC™ units lies not just in their economic benefits but also in their capacity to charge electric vehicles even during blackouts. They come equipped with an optional Emergency Power Panel, which ensures that electricity remains available to first responders in times of disaster or power outages—an addition that has not gone unnoticed by the authorities as Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, highlighted the rising demand for rapidly deployable and resilient energy solutions in our government sectors, with an emphasis on disaster preparedness and national security.
President Joe Biden's Executive Order 14057, which outlines a directive for federal fleets to make a complete transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035, catalyzes this surge in demand; the push for sustainability is evident with the goal of ensuring that all light-duty acquisitions should be ZEVs by 2027, a move that could reshape nearly the entire fleet of 657,500 vehicles and that positions companies like Beam Global at the forefront of a burgeoning market for green infrastructure.
Purchasing agreements such as the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule and Federal Blanket Purchase Agreement have streamlined the process while offering the best pricing, enabling state and local governments as well as federal agencies to efficiently procure Beam Global's products, which are also part of the GSA's Disaster Purchasing Program, allowing these bodies to acquire needed technologies at federal discounted rates aiding in preparation and response to disasters and recovery efforts in the aftermath.
With its core centered on the intersection of clean energy and transportation, Beam Global is at the pioneering edge of developing and manufacturing sustainable infrastructure products woven deeply into the fabric of energy security and resiliency, rapidly deploying their scalable electric vehicle charging solutions across the U.S. and Europe, their patented designs and manufacturing hubs residing in strategic locations such as San Diego, Chicago, and several areas in Europe, catering to a diverse and ever-growing clientele that ranges from transportation agencies to educational institutions, all seeking sustainable and secure sources of energy.
