Beam Global Announces Continuing Orders for EV ARC Solar-Powered EV Charging Systems from Multiple Federal Agencies
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , (Nasdaq: , BEEMW), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced repeat orders from multiple federal agencies, deepening the Beam Global footprint among its existing federal customers. The EV ARC™ systems were purchased through the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 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 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 an optional Emergency Power Panel that can provide vital electricity to first responders during disasters, emergencies and power outages.
The ten federal agencies that are purchasing additional systems, many of whom are receiving numerous sustainable EV ARC™ charging systems powered 100% by renewable energy, are:
- General Services Administration (GSA)
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL)
- U.S. Army (USA)
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
- U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
- U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Legacy Management (LM)
- U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
- U.S. Marine Corps (USMC)
- U.S. Navy Facilities (NAVFAC)
“Rapid deployment, energy resiliency, energy security and disaster preparedness are becoming key decision factors in the EV charging infrastructure build out, for federal, state and local government entities. The continued expansion of EV ARC deployments demonstrates the increasing need for rapidly deployed, energy resilient and highly scalable solutions,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “Disaster preparedness and energy resiliency are fast becoming national security level imperatives. We agree with the goal to have 25% of EV charging infrastructure be off-grid, locally generated, locally stored and locally delivered, powered by 100% renewable energy. We expect to continue to deepen and expand our government business in the U.S. and globally.”
The federal fleet is comprised of approximately 657,500 vehicles. President Biden’s 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.
Beam products can be procured through the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract Number which simplifies the federal procurement process and ensures best pricing. Beam Global products are also on GSA's Disaster Purchasing Program which allows state and local government entities to buy directly from all GSA Schedules to facilitate disaster preparation, response, or major disaster recovery.
