An interesting company, Beam, positioning itself as a 100% sustainable EV charging solution for the world’s electric vehicles, is rapidly deploying EV charging stations all over the globe.
To demonstrate it’s potential; Beam conducted the world’s first ‘Flying on Sunshine’ flight in a Pipistrel production electric aircraft, powered completely by Beam’s EV ARC solar-powered charging unit delivering off-grid, sustainably generated, locally stored energy.
The world-first maiden flight took place at Reedley Municipal Airport in Fresno County, California with local officials present and Pilot Joseph Oldham at the controls.
“The electrification of transportation is taking to the skies, powered by Beam Global. With 40% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from transportation in California, it’s imperative to push the envelope in every form of mobility,” said Beam Global CEO, Desmond Wheatley.
“Whether it has two, four or 18 wheels, a propeller or four rotors, Beam is developing sustainable solutions to deliver clean mobility to all. An important differentiator for us is that our products can charge any form of transportation, enabling us to take advantage of growth across this massive but diverse sector.”
This proof of concept test flight is the first step in Beam Global’s larger initiative to bring clean mobility to this new sector of sustainable transportation.
