SAN DIEGO, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced that Beam Global has received its first order from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) for ten EV ARC sustainable electric vehicle charging systems and one ARC Mobility trailer to be deployed at British Sovereign Bases on Cyprus through Project EVOLVE—Rapidly Deployable and Transportable Electric Vehicle Charging Solution per the requirement set out by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Spark Technology Innovation Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) Agreement (RM6094).

“Meeting the myriad challenges posed by climate change requires close collaboration between international allies. This fantastic project shows the strength and benefit of the UK and U.S. industry partnership,” said Brigadier Tom Harper – the British Strategic Command attaché to the U.S. “Beam Global’s patented solar-powered EV ARC will provide not only clean energy for British military electric vehicles in Cyprus, but the product is multi-utility and will be trialled to provide green energy and power key defence equipment in remote locations and overseas areas.”

The patented Beam EV ARC system is a solar-powered, off-grid charging solution that is rapidly deployed with no construction, no electrical work and no utility connection. Well-suited for military and commercial deployments, hundreds of systems have been deployed across U.S. locations for the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and several other U.S. federal agencies. Each EV ARC system generates and stores its own clean electricity and delivers that electricity to up to six Level 2 EV chargers capable of charging up to six electric vehicles simultaneously. The EV ARC fits in a standard parking space, is transportable and includes an Emergency Power Panel that can provide vital electricity for military equipment and personnel.
