The EV ARC unit is providing solar powered EV charging and emergency power capabilities to deliver a robust and secure source of power during outages or other disasters. The unveiling of the unit by Paul Koretz was also attended by Chris Paine, a filmmaker best known for his documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? and Mary Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board and a long-time clean air advocate in Los Angeles, who also oversees the state’s ambitious programme for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
“Los Angeles continues to lead the way in the fight against climate change” said Mr Koretz. “The EV ARC is an innovative way to do that and, at the same time, to help cities with essential emergency preparedness.”
Mary Nichols, applauding the Councilmember’s efforts, added that the pilot project is yet another demonstration of why the City of Los Angeles is known national leader on sustainability and electrification. Deploying innovative technology like the EV ARC makes it easier to drive electric.
The EV ARC was invented in California and is manufactured in the Company’s San Diego facility by combat veterans, the disabled, minorities and other highly talented, mission driven team members. It fits inside a parking space and does not reduce available parking in any way. It generates enough clean, solar electricity to power up to 150 miles of EV driving each day. The energy is stored in the EV ARC product’s energy storage for charging day or night or for use by first responders during grid outages. The unit requires no trenching, foundations or installation work of any kind and can be deployed in minutes while also being able to be moved to a new location with ease.
