Beam Global (NASDAQ: BEEM) has received an order from New York City for an additional 71 Beam EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging systems. The new units will be flood-proof up to 9.5 feet and wind-rated up to 125 mph. Additionally, the charging systems will feature power panels to serve as emergency preparedness equipment for fleet operators and first responders during grid failures and extreme weather events. 

Each EV ARC™ system generates and stores its own electricity, and is equipped with a Beam factory installed, dual-plug EV charger from ChargePoint, to power fleet EVs. The systems are transportable, off-grid and require no construction, permitting, or electrical work.

Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley stated: "New York City is our largest municipal customer and they continue to lead in sustainable and resilient EV charging infrastructure for their growing fleet of zero-emissions vehicles. Their EV ARC systems are rapidly deployed without digging up city streets and parking areas, without expensive upgrades to city electrical circuitry, and without concern for high utility costs, saving on City budgets”

New York City has already met its 2025 goal of adding 4,000 electric vehicles in its fleet. As of September, the city has also replaced more than 4,000 gas-powered models with electric vehicles.

Beam Global is a clean technology leader providing innovative, sustainable products and technologies for electric vehicle charging, energy storage, energy security and outdoor media.
