SAN DIEGO, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced that the Federal Railroad Administration has ordered EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging systems to charge federal fleet vehicles at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO. The EV ARC™ systems were purchased through the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Contract Number 47QMCA22A0004 which simplifies the federal procurement process and ensures best pricing.
The solar-powered EV ARC™ EV charging infrastructure products are off-grid, generate and store their own clean electricity, and are deployed with no electrical work, no construction and no utility bill, reducing the federal government’s costs through avoided construction, electrical upgrades, operational disruptions and ongoing utility bills. The systems can continue to charge EVs during blackouts and include the optional Emergency Power Panel that can provide vital electricity to first responders during disasters, emergencies and power outages.
“Railroad infrastructure is vast and by its nature often in locations where readily available utility connections are rare or hard to procure. This is another excellent example of the strength of our products in terms of their ability to solve big challenges in a scalable, robust and sustainable manner,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “As government entities at all levels continue to electrify their fleets, rapid deployment, renewable energy, energy resiliency and disaster preparedness are becoming increasingly key decision factors in the nationwide EV charging infrastructure build out.”
The federal fleet is comprised of approximately 657,500 vehicles. Executive Order 14057 with its accompanying Federal Sustainability Plan calls for
