Envision Solar’s EV ARC™ Solar-Powered EV Charger Selected by Marin County, California

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – March 9th 2017 – Envision Solar International, Inc., (OTCQB: EVSI) (“Envision Solar,” or the “Company”), the leading renewably energized EV charging, outdoor media and energy security products company, announced that Marin County, California has selected the Company’s EV ARC™ product to provide EV charging infrastructure and emergency power for the County Fleet.

Marin County is the latest in a series of local and state governments to purchase EV ARC™ units with both EV charging and emergency power capabilities. Fresno County, Caltrans and the City of Los Angeles are also taking advantage of the new E-Power system that Envision is delivering on select EV ARC™ models. No other EV charging solution can deliver both sustained and sustainable EV charging and emergency power during grid outages.

“Marin County is committed to the environment and to the safety of our citizens,” said Fleet Manager Larry Liano. “The EV ARC offers multiple values which we are able to deploy rapidly and painlessly and which allows us to reduce our fleet’s carbon footprint and be prepared in the event of an emergency.”

“Marin County is demonstrating its commitment to climate action and disaster preparedness,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Envision Solar, “I’m very proud that they have chosen our American made secure solar-powered EV charging station to show that you can drive on sunshine and save lives with our solar powered energy storage units.”

Invented and manufactured in California, the EV ARC™ fits inside a parking space and does not reduce available parking in any way. It generates enough clean, solar electricity to power up to 220 miles of EV driving each day. The energy is stored in the EV ARC™ product’s energy storage for charging day or night or for use by first responders or others during grid outages. Because the EV ARC™ product requires no trenching, foundations or installation work of any kind, it is deployed in minutes and can be moved to a new location with ease. EV ARC™ products are manufactured in the Company’s San Diego facility by combat veterans, the disabled, minorities and other highly talented, mission-driven team members.
