EV ARC products are produced in the Company's fabrication facility in San Diego. The EV ARC is equipped with a dual head charging station allowing for two EVs to charge simultaneously.
"We are very proud that our EV ARC product has been selected by another Fortune 50 company," said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Envision Solar. "This is another example of one of America's finest companies selecting our products. We look forward to many more such deployments."
The customer is a global conglomerate that sets high standards for its many operating companies in the area of environmental responsibility — striving for performance that does not merely comply with regulations but reduces overall environmental impacts. Providing solar powered EV charging for employees and guests is consistent with their goal to improve the health and wellbeing of families everywhere. Envision Solar believes that this EV ARC deployment will be the first of many for this customer, further validating the business model of direct sales to corporate campuses.
According to the US Department of Energy, Work Place Charging partner charging stations in operation by June 2014 provided an estimated annual kWh usage of 6.7 million kWh. This usage would be saving 800,000 gallons of gasoline and 5.5 million pounds of GHG — the equivalent of removing nearly 1,500 average cars from U.S. roads. Transportable solar powered charging offers the cleanest and most dynamic EV charging solution available today.
Invented and manufactured in the US, the EV ARC fits inside a parking space and generates enough clean, solar electricity to power up to 150 miles of EV driving each day. The system's solar electrical generation is enhanced by EnvisionTrak, which causes the array to follow the sun, generating 18 to 25% more electricity than a fixed array. The energy is stored in the EV ARC product's energy storage for charging day or night. Because the EV ARC product requires no trenching, foundations or installation work of any kind it is deployed in minutes and can be moved to a new location with ease.
