Beam Global Expands Sustainable EV Charging Infrastructure in Long Beach
1. Deployment of Additional EV ARC™ Systems
On June 2, 2026, Beam Global (Nasdaq: BEEM), a prominent player in the sustainable infrastructure sector, announced the successful deployment of six additional EV ARC™ solar-powered electric vehicle charging systems for the City of Long Beach, California. This strategic move is part of the city's broader effort to enhance its electric vehicle (EV) charging capabilities and transition towards a more sustainable fleet.
2. Details of the Deployment
The latest deployment consists of four EV ARC™ systems that will facilitate the charging needs of the City of Long Beach’s electric vehicle fleet operations. Additionally, two systems have been installed at Long Beach Airport specifically for fleet charging. The innovative EV ARC™ systems are designed to generate and store electrical energy on-site, allowing for autonomous EV charging that can be rapidly deployed and easily relocated as operational needs evolve.
This initiative is aligned with Long Beach’s commitment to reduce costs, support fleet electrification, and minimize vehicle emissions. By utilizing off-grid EV charging systems, the city can efficiently add charging capacity where it's most needed without straining existing electrical infrastructure.
3. Economic and Environmental Benefits
Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, highlighted the numerous advantages of electrifying fleets. “Study after study shows that fleet operators who electrify their fleets save money, reduce downtime and maintenance, reduce emissions, and improve working conditions for their employees,” Wheatley stated. He emphasized that Beam Global's EV charging infrastructure products provide fleet operators with the ability to scale up infrastructure with the lowest total cost of ownership and minimal disruption.
He further noted that the deployment allows fleet operators to implement EV charging solutions quickly, without the lengthy processes typically associated with design, engineering, construction, and electrical projects. Importantly, operators can benefit from zero-unit cost electricity for fueling their vehicles, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
4. Strengthening Municipal Fleet Operations
The latest deployment not only reinforces Beam Global’s presence in municipal fleet operations but also underscores the growing demand for rapidly deployable EV charging infrastructure across California. As cities across the state strive to meet sustainability goals, partnerships with innovative companies like Beam Global are becoming increasingly vital.
