Beam Global and HEVO Inc., a New York-based developer of wireless charging technology, announced the launch of an integrated autonomous wireless charging system powered by Beam’s EV ARC off-grid, solar-powered EV charging infrastructure. The system is designed for autonomous vehicle (AV) operations and can also support commercial electric vehicle (EV) fleet applications where automated charging is beneficial.

The solution is commercially available and has generated interest from AV operators, government agencies, and commercial fleet customers in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and other international markets.

Integrated Wireless Charging and Off-Grid Infrastructure

The system combines HEVO’s Rezonant wireless charging hardware, which is UL-certified and SAE-qualified, with the Journey software platform and Beam Global’s EV ARC charging infrastructure. Beam’s EV ARC units provide grid-independent EV charging that can be deployed without construction or utility interconnection. Thousands of the systems are currently deployed globally.

Beam Global also holds a U.S. patent covering a wireless or inductive EV charging system powered by renewable energy. Together, the companies are offering a plug-and-play charging system designed to enable automated vehicle charging without trenching, grid connection, or manual plug-in.

Autonomous vehicles typically require human intervention to connect to chargers. The companies say the integrated system is designed to enable fully automated charging powered by solar energy.

Beam Global and HEVO are advancing commercial deployments with select international customers and plan to conduct joint demonstrations in the coming months. Demonstrations will feature autonomous vehicles equipped with HEVO’s wireless charging hardware operating on Beam’s off-grid charging systems at locations in the United States and the UAE.

Policy developments may also influence AV deployment. Federal efforts to streamline permitting and reduce regulatory barriers could accelerate AV adoption in the U.S., while Abu Dhabi has announced plans to expand AV deployment. The UAE autonomous vehicle market is projected to reach about $2.7 billion by 2030.

Fleet Applications and System Capabilities

“Beam’s patented wireless charging coupled with HEVO’s technology is a natural combination for autonomous vehicles,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “We are pleased to work with HEVO and bring this solution to market. With deployments in the Middle East and growing interest in autonomous mobility, this collaboration aligns with our global growth strategy.”

“Autonomous fleets require automated, resilient, and deployable charging,” said Jeremy McCool, founder and CEO of HEVO. “Our wireless charging hardware and software platform integrated with Beam’s EV ARC systems provide that capability. The deployments underway demonstrate how wireless charging and off-grid solar infrastructure can support autonomous mobility and broader fleet electrification.”

The integrated system is designed to support autonomous fleet operations and broader EV fleet charging needs. Capabilities include:

• Autonomous, wireless charging for electric and autonomous vehicles
• Solar-plus-storage charging infrastructure that can be deployed without construction or grid connection
• Automated charging workflows that reduce the need for human intervention
• Compatibility with both EV and AV platforms
• Scalability for municipal fleets, logistics fleets, campus mobility systems, and autonomous fleets
• Reduced infrastructure and operating costs by avoiding construction, electrical upgrades, and manual charging labor
• Continuous uptime supported by solar generation and energy storage

Beam Global and HEVO said they are promoting the integrated platform to AV developers, commercial fleet operators, government agencies, and strategic partners. Early engagement has produced interest from organizations exploring autonomous fleets for logistics, policing, campus mobility, and smart city applications.
