Beam Global granted patent for curbside EV charging products

Beam Global has been granted another new patent by the European Patent Office that covers EV Standard, the company’s renewably energized streetlight replacement products which provide curbside EV charging. The European Patent Office granted European Patent No. EP3743655 for the company’s EV Standard product which is capable of delivering street lighting and meaningful curbside EV charging by combining solar, wind and utility-generated electricity in a bank of Beam Global’s proprietary integrated batteries. The patent was issued on July 12, 2023 in the European Patent Bulletin 2031 10.22. Equipped with a high-lumens, low-consumption LED light and a Level II EV charger, the innovative product has been designed to provide a clean and inexpensive EV charging solution which does not require new or upgraded utility-grid circuits, or the trenching, construction, easements, leases and complex permitting required for traditional curbside charging. Most of the energy used for EV charging will come from renewable sources, specifically wind and solar, reducing the carbon impact and the cost of the electricity consumed. To address energy security, the EV Standard can continue to provide EV charging, a source of emergency power and light, during grid outages as well as support and power other vital infrastructure such as IoT connected devices, smart city sensors and environmental monitors.
