PV - State of California places order for 52 more EV ARC solar powered charging systems - Renewable Energy Magazine, at the heart of clean energy journalism
The EV ARC sustainable charging unit is ideal for EV charging, outdoor media, and energy security. The units will expand access to sustainable EV charging and emergency power for 12 state government agencies. They are transportable, off-grid and require no construction, permitting or electrical work, providing fleet vehicles with access to clean, resilient EV charging.

We believe that this, the largest single order in our history is indicative of an increased emphasis on rapidly deployed and grid independent EV charging infrastructure by all branches of government. The US has a Strategic Petroleum Reserve but there is no Strategic Electricity Reserve. Each EV ARC deployed contributes to our nation’s energy security and in combination, provide the beginnings of a Strategic Electric Reserve. We are observing that this vital capability is becoming increasingly recognized in purchasing decisions and we applaud DGS and OES for taking this leadership position in securing the fuel of the future for California.
