The City of Indio used Air Quality Enhancement Funding from County of Riverside to purchase EV ARC product. According to a new report from Pike Research, the total number of NEVs on the world’s roadways will grow from 479,000 in 2011 to 695,000 by 2017, a 45 percent increase. During that period, the cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts that annual NEV sales will rise from 37,000 vehicles to nearly 55,000 units by 2017, and North America will account for 45 percent of annual sales.
“This is another great use for the EV ARC” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Envision Solar. “We are seeing a significant increase in interest in NEVs and now have both cities and the university system using EV ARC to charge them.”
Invented and manufactured in California, the EV ARC 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 system’s solar electrical generation is enhanced by the patented EnvisionTrak system which causes the array to follow the sun, generating 18 to 25 percent more electricity than a fixed array. The energy is stored in the EV ARC product’s energy storage for charging day or night.
Because the EV ARC requires no trenching, foundations or installation work of any kind it can be deployed in minutes and can be moved to a new location with ease. EV ARC products are manufactured in the Company’s San Diego facility by combat veterans, the disabled, minorities and other highly talented, mission driven team members.
