SAN DIEGO, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for transportation, energy security and smart city infrastructure, today announced the deployment of ten EV ARC™ off-grid, solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging systems and an ARC Mobility™ trailer for Stanislaus County, California. The systems will be deployed to support charging for the County’s EV fleet.
The EV ARC™ systems provide rapidly deployable EV charging infrastructure without the need for construction, trenching, or utility grid connection. Each unit generates and stores its own electricity, delivering reliable, renewable energy for fleet operations while reducing emissions and protecting against grid outages. The ARC Mobility™ trailer further enhances flexibility by enabling Stanislaus County to move the EV ARC™ systems quickly and efficiently in the event their charging needs change or there is an emergency situation, such as an earthquake or a wild fire, which requires rapidly deployed energy infrastructure in a new location.
The systems were purchased using Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program funds administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Stanislaus County utilized Beam Global’s Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract to streamline procurement.
“We applaud Stanislaus County for choosing to ‘Drive on Sunshine’ while providing robust, sustainable and affordable clean energy for their fleet vehicles,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “State and county governments continue to electrify their fleets saving money on gasoline and diesel at a time where oil cost volatility is being reflected at the gas pump. Beam Global’s renewably energized EV charging infrastructure solutions provide electricity for charging EVs at zero unit cost for the energy, ensuring that whatever happens at the pump or to utility rates, our customers will never pay more to charge their fleet vehicles.”
By deploying EV ARC™ systems and the ARC Mobility™ trailer, Stanislaus County will be able to charge its fleet vehicles using clean, renewable energy generated on-site, improving operational efficiency while avoiding utility costs, construction delays, and grid dependency associated with traditional EV charging infrastructure.
