Beam Global, a San Diego-based company that specializes in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, just completed its first order in Europe — a $1 million deal to help the United Kingdom's defense ministry reduce greenhouse gas emissions at a pair of its military stations in the Mediterranean. The British Sovereign Bases on the island of Cyprus will receive 10 of Beam Global's trademarked Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Chargers, known as EV ARCs for short.
'Putin can't hurt us, he can't do anything to our infrastructure,' Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley said of the EV ARCs heading to Cyprus, where the weather is consistently sunny. The $1 million package also includes a Beam 'mobility trailer' that moves the charging stations from one spot to the other.
