Beam Global, a provider of sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, has launched the BeamSpot sustainable curbside electric-vehicle charging infrastructure system.
The streetlight replacement combines solar, wind and utility-generated electricity into Beam Global’s proprietary integrated batteries to provide lighting and curbside EV charging.
Using existing streetlight foundations and circuits to power EV charging stations, BeamSpot replaces existing streetlights with a product that combines multiple sources of renewable energy and onboard battery storage, providing an EV charging experience without requiring new or upgraded utility-grid circuits or other traditional curbside charging infrastructure requirements like trenching, construction, easements, leasing or complex permitting. BeamSpot can reduce the time, cost and complexity of expanding EV charging infrastructure while lowering utility costs, increasing resiliency and balancing the grid.
