October 21, 2020 | Bloomberg The city is partnering with Beam Global to deploy solar-powered chargers that require minimal installation. Developing electric-vehicle charging stations can take months, even years, to complete, beguiling governments keen to slash transportation emissions. But a California-based company says it can cut the installation time down to as little as four minutes. The key: the stations will be off-grid. Clean-mobility company Beam Global has agreed to a deal with the city of San Diego…

September 30, 2020 | Forbes Solar-Powered EV Chargers Go Where Grid-Tied Stations Can’t While you can build a gas station pretty much anywhere zoning codes allow, electric vehicle fast-charging stations need to be placed in close proximity to dedicated service transformers to support their heavy draw from the grid. Access to that type of infrastructure isn’t always available in rural areas, which means that large swaths of California have few public charging stations, if there are any at all. Electrify America is filling in the service gaps with off-grid electric vehicle charging stations powered only by the sun.
