U.S. Off-Grid Specialist Launches PV-Powered EV Charging Station

Beam Global has launched its EV ARC off-grid charging system in Europe from its Serbian operations. The prefabricated unit, requiring no construction or permits, includes 14.3 kW solar PV panels, a 5.76 kW EV charger, an inverter, and optional 20–40 kWh battery storage. Measuring 6.31 m x 3.26 m x 4.66 m, it weighs 4,800 kg and operates in -20°C to 50°C.

CEO Desmond Wheatley said: “There is not enough capacity on utility grids to power the electrification of transportation, AI, data centers and the electrification of industry. Our products add capacity to charge EVs and provide emergency power but without the requirement to extend the grid which is expensive and very time consuming.”

The system enables charging where grid expansion is impractical and provides power during outages. Beam Europe, established in 2023 via the acquisition of Serbia’s Amiga and a power electronics firm, supports in-house production. Wheatley added: “We are now aggressively focusing on growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa from our Serbian facilities.” The CE mark, achieved in 2025, aids market expansion.

The EV ARC promotes sustainable, reliable EV charging across Europe.
