Held on Alameda Island in California, CAL EMSA, local police and urban search and rescue squads held a three day training for first responders focused on anti-terrorist readiness. Two EV ARC™ units were deployed to power field operations and a field hospital. Each EV ARC™ had an Emergency Power Panel (included in FEMA’s Authorized Equipment List). Exercises included mock civilian rescues and medical triage in various situations. The two EV ARC™ units were combined to create a 208V, three-phase, 12 kW microgrid for clean quiet energy day and night. Replacing diesel generators typically used eliminated the need to store, transport and handle fuel, and eliminated the noise, noxious fumes, and fuel management. Because EV ARC™ units are portable and 100% off grid, cities can build EV charging infrastructure, energy resiliency and emergency preparedness with one asset.

The Mission Critical Stations Powered:

  1. Communications Hub - ViaSat Satellite for internet, monitoring camera, router, radio repeater, laptops and cell phones
  2. Mobile Workstation - 2 CB radios, portable radio charger, lights and an ACU-M interoperability gateway
  3. Medical Tent and Ops Tent - Medical tent with medical equipment, air conditioning, the Communications Hub and lighting

The EV ARC™ 2020 is a 100% off-grid solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charger that serves double duty as a mobile emergency preparedness and energy resiliency asset. During grid failure it continues to produce, store and deliver energy. The Transformer ARC™ design folds into a low-profile structure for ease of transport, providing vital energy where and when needed. The EV ARC™ is a versatile energy infrastructure product and is the only movable, grid independent EV charging option that fits in a standard parking space.

It is uniquely suited to serve emergency preparedness needs of local, state, federal and military agencies in a variety of ways:

  • Self-contained EV/NEV charging station
  • 4.3kW solar array with lithium ion battery storage
  • Wind rated up to 120mph
  • Flood-proof up to 9.5’
  • BeamTrack™ sun tracking creates up to 25% more power
  • Mobile for power where and when required
  • Included in FEMA’s Authorized Equipment List (AEL)*

No fueling. No emissions. No noise. No on-site liquid fuel storage or handling. Clean, Quiet, Safe Power.
