Beam Global is selling 10 off-grid EV ARC charging systems to a new residential development in New York, marking the company’s largest EV ARC deployment to date in a residential setting.

Residential Deployment In New York

The systems are designed to provide on-site EV charging without construction, trenching, electrical upgrades, or coordination with the local utility. Beam said this approach can help address common barriers to installing traditional grid-tied charging infrastructure in dense urban developments, including limited circuit capacity, complex permitting, long lead times, and high construction costs.

Beam said EV ARC units generate and store renewable electricity on-site and can be relocated as parking layouts or resident needs 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 Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “This deployment in New York demonstrates that EV ARC is well-suited to dense urban residential environments where traditional charging infrastructure is often impractical.”

Residential EV Charging And Property Value Impacts

Beam pointed to research indicating residential EV adoption may also influence property values. A study cited by The Wall Street Journal found that if all U.S. vehicles were electric, national property values could increase by about $77.3 billion. In Santa Clara County, California, EV usage helped boost property values by an estimated $264 million in 2023, according to the study.
