Clean-mobility company Beam Global has agreed to a deal with the city of San Diego to install and operate at least 50 solar-powered charging stations. The project will come at no expense to the city, nor to the drivers that will use the stations to fill up, said Beam Chief Executive Officer Desmond Wheatley.

NASEO 2020 Annual Meeting Join the National Association of State
Most of the EV charging grid we currently employ is exactly that, a grid. And one that unfortunately relies on the preexisting methods of supplying electricity. And just as Tesla introduces a charger that has a few issues of its own, other companies like Electrify America and Beam Global, are working together to go beyond traditional methods.
Electrify America has announced the opening of eight of the thirty planned solar-powered charging stations that are designed to offer EV owners a way to charge at rural California destinations.
Electrify America is working in collaboration with the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) and Beam Global to place the rapidly deployed EV ARC charging stations in easily accessible public locations. Eight standalone units equipped with Electrify America Level 2 EV chargers are available free of charge to customers
This charging infrastructure is part of Electrify America’s $2 million investment in solar-powered EV charging stations intended for deployment in rural parts of the state. Each of the 30 Beam Global EV ARC charging stations will offer two Level 2 chargers with the ability to charge up to 3.5kW. The units come equipped with onboard ARC Technology energy storage that enables them to operate at night, in inclement weather and during grid outages. EV ARC units are independently rated to withstand winds up to 120 mph and floods up to 9.5 feet and can operate in the event of a blackout or power outage.
