We sat down with Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley about the trials and tribulations surrounding one of the most innovative EV charging infrastructures currently on the market. Here’s what you need to know about solar EV charging.
Electrify America recently officially launched 30 new solar-powered, off-grid public charging stations in rural California. Unlike the DC fast chargers that are the main part of Electrify America’s network, these stations are small AC Level 2 charging points (two stalls per station), supplied by Beam Global (formerly Envision Solar). The EV ARC charging stations are equipped with a 4.3 kW solar array (peak output) and, depending on the version, a 24, 32 or 40 kWh battery energy storage to remain operational even at night.

They’re located in rural areas throughout Southern California’s Central Valley and inland areas, in places like Bakersfield, Riverside, and Folsom. Twenty of the 30 solar-powered charging stations are at health care centers. That’s because Electrify America identified educational and health care institutions as ideal charging points because of high amounts of traffic and extended hours of access.
As Jennifer Sensiba and others have been pointing out recently, rural areas need electric vehicle charging stations too. Electrify America is stomping across the country building out a large ultrafast charging network, and it has clearly learned a great deal about these needs and the challenges serving these needs in the process. One challenge in rural areas is they may not have the best electricity capacity to power new ultrafast charging stations, or any charging stations at all. A solution? Good ol’ solar power.
Electrify America, the nation’s largest public ultra-fast charging network, has added 30 solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with two Level 2 chargers each to its network in the state of California.

In this issue #9 of the Socially Inspired Investor Digest and companion Podcast, we look at how – in an unlikely bi-partisan way – Congress steps up to make an unequivocal stance supporting the fight against climate change, and significantly puts up billions to also make it a meaningful action for jobs and economic recovery. Funding for renewable energy and credits to consumers could make this legislation a critical turning point.

What’s it all about? The mobility transition, and the electrification of transport! If that doesn’t get you excited perhaps you’ve found the wrong podcast!!
