Beam Global announced that the City of Pueblo, Colorado, has deployed Beam Global’s EV ARC™ off-grid, solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. These systems, funded through a rebate from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, are intended for use by both the general public and city fleets. The EECBG program aims to help states, local governments, and Tribes reduce energy use, lower fossil fuel emissions, and enhance energy efficiency.
The deployment of Beam Global’s EV ARC™ systems aligns with Pueblo’s goal of being powered by 100% renewable energy by 2035. The grid-independent EV ARC™ units generate and store electricity using solar power and feature the patented BeamTrak™ sun-tracking system, which enables them to produce up to 25% more energy than a fixed solar array.
“More and more municipalities across the U.S. are seeing the benefits our EV ARC products have to offer as they work to meet sustainability goals laid out by their states,” commented Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “EV ARC systems are an ideal charging infrastructure choice because they are not tied to the grid, which means they require no construction work, electric work or utility bill and therefore reduce cities’ overall costs. Because they are transportable, the systems can be relocated during emergencies or as public charging patterns emerge and change.” |
