Beam Global makes portable off-grid solar-powered EV charging systems. Some of the company’s most reliable customers have been government agencies and municipalities. During 2025 however, the company diversified its customer base, and saw increasing demand from commercial customers.
Now Beam has announced the sale of ten EV ARC off-grid EV charging systems to a new residential development in New York—the company’s largest sale of EV ARC systems into a residential development to date.
As the company explains, many residential developments, particularly in dense urban environments like New York, face significant challenges deploying conventional EV charging due to lack of utility circuit capacity, complex permitting processes, long timelines and high construction costs. The EV ARC systems will provide on-site EV charging for residents without the need for construction, trenching, electrical upgrades or utility coordination.
The EV ARC systems also offer property owners more flexibility than fixed charging installations do. The systems can be relocated easily as parking layouts, tenant needs or vehicle demands change over time.
“Historically, Beam Global’s customer base has been led by federal, state and municipal agencies, but we are now seeing increasing interest from residential and commercial developers,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “The tens of millions of apartments and condominiums in the US represent another excellent growth opportunity for Beam Global which we have previously not addressed aggressively. This deployment in New York demonstrates that EV ARC is well suited to dense urban residential environments where traditional charging infrastructure is often impractical.”
Beam Global recently announced preliminary fourth quarter revenue for 2025—revenue increased over 50% from the prior quarter, driven by new products, expanded international activity and increased sales to commercial customers.
In prior periods, US government sales have contributed the majority of Beam Global’s revenues, but non-government commercial revenues represented approximately 84% of revenues in the fourth quarter. EV ARC sales increased in Europe—international sales accounted for approximately half of Q4 revenue. Non-EV ARC products accounted for approximately 70% of fourth quarter revenue.
“Beam Global is so much more than an American EV charging infrastructure company,” said Desmond Wheatley. “We make energy security products, we make batteries for drones and robots, we are developing secret solutions for the defense industry, our smart cities infrastructure products are expanding, we are opening new markets in the Middle East and Europe. 2025 was a challenging year as the new administration paused the electrification of the federal fleet, but Beam Global transitioned from US government-generated revenues to a truly global footprint with an expansive product portfolio. We grew Q4 revenues by 50% by selling new products into new markets.”
