Envision Solar’s 100% Renewably Powered Charger Demonstrates City’s Commitment to Sustainability and Building Clean EV Charging Infrastructure
“The City of San Luis Obispo is excited to add the EV ARC solar powered charging station to fuel our fleet vehicles with emissions free energy that will still be available to us during grid outages,” said Chris Read, Sustainability Manager for the City of San Luis Obispo. “We needed a City Hall location but it would have been disruptive and expensive to install in-ground chargers. The EV ARC arrived just a few days after we ordered it and required no construction or disruption to our civic center area.”
The deployment of 100% renewably powered EV ARC™ charging supports the City’s 2019-2021 Climate Action Major City Goal and immediately began reducing greenhouse gas emissions from municipal operations. Because the unit is off grid, there is no monthly utility bill for the City. EV ARC™ infrastructure products can be easily transported to another location if needed.
“San Luis Obispo joins over 100 municipalities across the U.S. using EV ARC products for their sustainable EV charging infrastructure,” said Envision Solar CEO, Desmond Wheatley. “Buying off the California contract allows municipalities to rapidly build out EV charging infrastructure with deployment possible in days instead of months or years. In the case of San Luis, the unit was deployed in minutes, just four days after they placed their order.”
