Envision Solar International, Inc. announced the City of Fort Lauderdale has selected the company's EV ARC product to provide emission-free EV charging for its fleet vehicles. Fort Lauderdale’s Fleet Services section selected the EV ARC™ product to increase energy security and reduce the carbon footprint of the city by using an off-grid EV charging solution. The EV ARC™ continues to charge EVs and supply power when the utility grid is unavailable due to a blackout or other interruption. The solar-powered EV ARC™ product is also equipped with an emergency power (E-Power) panel, providing the city’s first responders with a reliable source of energy during a crisis. The EV ARC™ product’s environmentally impact-free deployment, which is performed in minutes, and its capability to provide power independent of the electrical grid are significant differentiators when comparing the product to grid-tied options. The City of Fort Lauderdale Fleet Services is committed to reducing the environmental impact of fleet operations by purchasing more fuel-efficient vehicles and finding innovative ways to decrease fuel consumption. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has implemented sustainability programs to promote green transportation in Florida businesses, schools and homes. As the number of EVs on Florida's roads grow, there will be an increasing requirement for the unique benefits offered by the EV ARC™ off-grid, solar charging solution. In locations prone to natural disasters or other grid interruptions, the EV ARC™ serves as a powerful disaster preparedness tool. Envision Solar considers municipalities, businesses and schools in Florida as likely areas of significant future growth.
