The EV ARC makes free EV charging available to the public. It has been deployed as part of the Carl Moyer Programme in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and is now officially open to the public. The EV ARC unit was purchased through the mandatory California State contract issued to Envision in 2016 and renewed in 2018, using a grant by the Rural Assistance Program and the Air Control District.
“We are seeing a growing number of municipalities and government departments increase their commitments to provide clean EV charging infrastructure” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO at Envision Solar. “Citizens want local governments to reduce pollution from diesel and gas vehicles in their own communities. The Carl Moyer programme is another source of funds that local governments can use to acquire our rapidly deployed products and provide a driving on sunshine experience to their constituency.”
The Rural Assistance Programme falls under the Carl Moyer Programme which provides grant funding for cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and other sources of air pollution. The Programme is implemented as a partnership between CARB and California’s 35 local air districts. CARB works collaboratively with the air districts and other stakeholders to set guidelines and ensure the Programme reduces pollution and provides cleaner air for Californians.
Manufactured in California, the patented EV ARC and EV ARC DC Fast Charging products fit inside single parking spaces without reducing available parking. The EV ARC product generates enough clean solar electricity to power up to 225 miles of EV driving in a day. Electrical generation is enhanced by EnvisionTrak which causes the solar array to follow the sun, generating up to 25 percent more electricity than a fixed array.
