 SAN DIEGO, Aug. 04, 2020 GLOBE NEWSWIRE -- Envision Solar International, Inc., Nasdaq: EVSI, EVSIW Envision Solar, or the Company, the leading producer of unique and sustainable infrastructure products for electric vehicle EV charging, energy security and outdoor media, today announced that it will maintain an inventory of EV ARCTM, off grid, solar-powered EV charging infrastructure products for rapid sale and deployment to any customer effected by the planned Public Safety Power Shutoffs PSPS during Californias 2020 fire season. EV ARCTM products deployed in Marin County, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, Livermore and other locations in Northern California continued to provide vital electric vehicle charging without interruption during the 2019 PSPS blackouts. EV ARCTM products are also equipped with emergency power panels so that they can provide a source of reliable power to first responders or others during grid failures. Envision will ensure that an inventory of rapidly deployable EV ARCTM products is available for delivery to customers impacted by planned 2020 PSPS.According to Wikipedia, the 2019 California power shutoffs, known as public safety power shutoff PSPS events, were massive preemptive power shutoffs that occurred in approximately 30 counties in Northern California and several areas in Southern California from October 9 to November 1, 2019, by Pacific Gas and Electric Company PGE, Southern California Edison SCE, and San Diego Gas and Electric SDGE. The power shutoffs were an attempt to prevent wildfires from being started by electrical equipment during strong and dry winds. The shutoffs initially affected around 800,000 customers, or about 2.5 million people but expanded to cause over 3 million people to lose utility-provided electrical power by late October as more utility companies from around the state also did preemptive power shutoffs.The EV ARC product family is rapidly deployed and provides a robust source of power which is immune to grid failures, said Desmond Wheatley, Envision Solars CEO. The EV ARC has already proven its worth as a permanent but transportable energy infrastructure product this year for emergency COVID centers. Now we are committing to our valued customers that we will support their needs during any PSPS events too.About Envision Solar International, Inc.Envision Solar, produces and sells unique and patented sustainable infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging, energy security and outdoor media, including the EV ARCTM and the Solar Tree with EnvisionTrakTM patented solar tracking, SunChargeTM solar Electric Vehicle Charging, ARCTM technology energy storage, and EnvisionMediaTM solar advertising displays.Based in San Diego, the company produces Made in America products.
