U.S. National Park Service Deploys Beam Global EV ARC™ Solar-Powered EV Charging Systems at Headquarters at the National Mall
SAN DIEGO, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , (Nasdaq: , BEEMW), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced that the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) has deployed EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging systems to charge federal fleet vehicles at the National Capital Region headquarters at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. The EV ARC™ systems were purchased through the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Contract Number which simplifies the federal procurement process and ensures best pricing.
The solar-powered EV ARC™ EV charging infrastructure products are off-grid, generate and store their own clean electricity, and are deployed with no electrical work, no construction and no utility bill, reducing the federal government’s costs through avoided construction, electrical upgrades, operational disruptions and ongoing utility bills. The systems can continue to charge EVs during blackouts and include the optional Emergency Power Panel that can provide vital electricity to first responders during disasters, emergencies and power outages.
“Although the majority of EV ARC systems are deployed in dense urban environments, national, state and city parks and recreational spaces are also ideal locations for sustainable EV ARC EV charging systems. The EV ARC is deployed with no digging, no construction and no electric grid connection so it’s perfect for spaces that have limited or no grid connection and want to maintain their beauty and environmental integrity,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “As government entities at all levels continue to electrify their fleets, rapid deployment, renewable energy, energy resiliency and disaster preparedness are becoming increasingly key decision factors in the nationwide EV charging infrastructure build out.”
The federal fleet is comprised of approximately 657,500 vehicles. Executive Order 14057 with its accompanying 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.
