Beam Global receives $1.7M order from North Carolina Department of Adult Correction for EV charging units
Beam Global has announced that the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction has ordered 19 Beam EV ARC sustainable off-grid charging systems and 2 ARC Mobility trailers.
The Beam EV ARC systems are off-grid and powered by renewable energy, generating and storing their own clean electricity. Each system is deployed with no construction, no electrical work, no utility connection and is delivered as a turnkey sustainable charging solution. The ARC Mobility trailer is a specialized hydraulic transport system designed to efficiently relocate EV ARC charging systems without the requirement for any other equipment or site work.
The Beam EV ARC systems are flood-proof to 9.5 feet, wind-rated to 160 mph, and continue to provide electricity during blackouts, making them suitable for disaster preparedness for DHS component agencies. The solar-powered EV ARC electric vehicle charging systems are rapidly deployed with no digging, no construction, no electrical work, and none of the teams are generally required to perform those tasks.
Government and private fleets are transitioning to electric vehicles which are less expensive to operate and maintain and help achieve zero-emission targets. Sites with physical security concerns like correctional facilities, both public and private, need EV charging infrastructure without the risk that traditional installation projects introduce. Onsite demand for EV chargers to support new fleet EVs, employee workplace charging and visitor charging is increasing.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities, there are 4,527 federal, state and local correctional facilities in the U.S., both public and private. Beam Global anticipates that all such facilities will require EV charging particularly where mandates such as the federal government’s requirement that all light duty vehicles be zero emissions by 2027 are in force.
