Beam Global Received Record Orders Through California and Federal Contracts from Extensions to Other Government Entities in 2022
Beam EV ARC 2020 Sustainable EV Charging System
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), the leading provider of innovative sustainable products and technologies for electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, energy security and outdoor media, announced that it received record orders in 2022 through key government contracts via extensions to non-contract holders. Beam Global’s new and expanded California DGS contract is now available to all 50 states and the federal GSA contract can also be used by a variety of non-federal government agencies. In 2022 contract extension orders totaled over $6.6M, saving local and state governments across the U.S. time and money while enabling them to acquire Beam Global’s rapidly deployed EV charging infrastructure products without going through extensive individual contracting processes.
The State of California Department of General Services (DGS) allows government entities in other U.S. states to buy Beam infrastructure products through Beam Global DGS contract #1-22-61-16 at the California negotiated best price, without their having to go through a lengthy competitive procurement or technology review process. Similarly, the federal General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract Number 47QSWA21D0006, which simplifies the federal procurement process and ensures best pricing, can be used by many state and local government agencies when used for disaster recovery or preparedness purposes. Beam Global EV ARC™ off-grid EV charging systems qualify as disaster preparedness assets because they continue to charge EVs during grid outages and can be equipped with an emergency power panel.
Purchases through these two contract vehicle extensions of Beam products were a record $6.6 million in 2022 to date, an increase YOY of over 4000%. Government entities in Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico and New York took advantage of these contract vehicles to procure sustainable EV charging infrastructure at best negotiated pricing.
“Now that all 50 states can use the California DGS or Federal GSA contracts to buy our rapidly deployed solar-powered EV charging systems, we’ve seen increasing sales from entities that need EV charging and disaster preparedness faster than traditional contracting processes allow,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “The need for EV charging infrastructure is becoming greater and more urgent every day and now we can add rapid and easy contracting to our ability to rapidly scale and deploy without construction or electrical work and without utility bills, grid capacity constraints or vulnerability to black-outs. We are busier than ever and we’re planning on getting even busier in 2023.”
Solar-powered EV ARC™ electric vehicle charging infrastructure products are rapidly deployed with no digging, no construction and no electrical work. Off-grid and 100% solar-powered, EV ARC™ systems generate and store their own clean electricity and deliver that energy to up to six EV chargers capable of charging six vehicles simultaneously. The customer can choose any quality brand charger that works for their organization or use case, which is pre-installed on the EV ARC™ at the Beam factory and arrives at the customer site ready to charge EVs.
