A San Diego-based company has introduced EV chargers that are powered by a combination of solar, wind, and battery storage, serving as replacements for streetlights. Beam claims that its innovative BeamSpot reduces utility expenses, enhances resiliency, and contributes to grid stability.
This tower merges solar and wind power with electricity from the grid, supplemented by battery storage. This not only augments the power for the conventional streetlights it supersedes but also supplies both electric vehicle charging and street illumination. In the event of a power outage, the battery storage ensures that the lights remain operational and the EV charging continues uninterrupted.
