Beam Global Reports Received Order From National Passenger Railroad Leader, No Terms Disclosed

Beam Global, (NASDAQ:BEEM, BEEMW))), the leading provider of innovative sustainable technology for electric vehicle (EV) charging, outdoor media and energy security, announced that a leading national passenger railway company has ordered the EV ARC(tm) solar-powered EV charging system to charge fleet electric vehicles at its headquarters.

The EV ARC(tm) system fits in a standard parking space, without reducing available parking, and is equipped with an Enel X JuiceBox(r) Pro EV charging station. The EV ARC(tm) system generates and stores its own clean electricity and delivers that electricity to power EVs, day or night, and during inclement weather and power outages. The transportable but permanent unit includes the Emergency Power Panel option for first responder use during blackouts or in locations where there is no utility connection available.

"Having EV ARC systems deployed for a customer with such a large footprint of stations, parking lots and other infrastructure represents a great opportunity for Beam," said Desmond Wheatley, Beam Global CEO. "Transportation hubs like train stations, Park 'n Rides and airports will increasingly have to offer EV charging and we believe that the EV ARC offers the perfect scalable solution to meet this growing need."

Requiring no connection to the utility grid, Beam Global products eliminate disruptive construction projects, costly electric circuit upgrades and utility charges to deliver significant long-term savings to customer budgets. Because there is no grid connection, EV charging systems are rapidly deployed, readily relocated and can be placed in locations where they are needed most.

More than 300 global travel stakeholders have signed the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism in November 2021, the first step for a shared road map to cut carbon emissions. Hundreds of members of the trillion-dollar tourism industry came together and made the first commitment toward a shared road map to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 and reach "net zero" by 2050, requiring them to submit a concrete and transparent plan within 12 months.
