Envision Solar Announces Fast and Easy Financing Now Available for Its Products

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.  Nov. 1, 2016 – Envision Solar International, Inc., (OTCQB: EVSI) (“Envision Solar,” or “the company”), the leading renewable energy, media and branding and EV charging product company, announced that it is now offering easy, low-cost financing solutions for its solar-powered products.

Envision Solar now provides innovative leasing and financing programs to its customers through Lease Corporation of America, a financing institution in business since 1988. The new financing options include 36 to 72-month terms and low-interest rates that deliver fast, cost-effective opportunities for capital constrained customers to take advantage of the many benefits delivered by Envision’s suite of solar-powered EV charging, media and energy security products.

The company’s products already save customers money on installation and energy costs, and can now be acquired for low monthly payments. Customers who use the financing options will still be eligible for federal and state tax incentives, which can reduce total out-of-pocket costs by as much as 58 percent.

“We know that capital management is highly important to our customers,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Envision Solar. “This simple, low-interest financing program means that it’s easier than ever to save money and time on installations of EV charging stations by financing an Envision Solar EV ARC™ or Solar Tree®.”

EV ARC™ and Solar Tree® products are manufactured in the company’s new San Diego facility by combat veterans, the disabled, minorities and other highly talented, mission-driven team members. Customers can access the new financing programs at www.envisionsolar.com/ev-arc and www.envisionsolar.com/solar-tree.
