Beam Global deploys EV charging systems to California tribes
Beam Global (NASDAQ:BEEM) installed 5 EV charging systems for the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, bringing the total to 8 across 2 California tribes. The systems were funded by a California Energy Commission grant and purchased via a GSA contract. Beam's EV ARC systems are solar-powered and off-grid, requiring no utility connection. The company also sold systems to other tribes in Washington and Oregon. Eligible tribes can receive a 30% federal tax credit for clean energy investments.
