SAN DIEGO, CA --(Marketwired - March 21, 2017) - Envision Solar International, Inc., (OTCQB: EVSI)
("Envision Solar," or the "Company"), the leading renewably energized EV charging, outdoor media and energy security products
company, announced that Caltrans has issued more repeat purchase orders for the Company's EV ARC™ product to provide EV charging
infrastructure and emergency power.
Caltrans has previously purchased EV ARC™ products for EV charging at locations across California. This latest purchase will
be the first for EV ARC™ units which have both EV charging and emergency power capabilities. Fresno County, Marin County and Los
Angeles County are also taking advantage of the new E-Power system that Envision is delivering on select EV ARC™ models. No other
EV charging solution can deliver both sustained and sustainable EV charging and emergency power during grid outages.
"Caltrans continues to demonstrate its commitment to hitting Governor Brown's climate action plan goals while reducing
greenhouse gas emissions," said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Envision Solar. "I'm very proud that they have chosen our American made
secure solar powered EV charging stations to show that you can drive on sunshine and save money and lives with our solar powered
energy storage units."
Invented and manufactured in California, the EV ARC™ fits inside a parking space and does not reduce available parking in any
way. It generates and stores enough clean, solar electricity to charge up to 225 miles of EV driving in a day. The energy is
stored in the EV ARC™ product's energy storage for charging day or night or for use by first responders or others during grid
outages. Because the EV ARC™ product requires no trenching, foundations or installation work of any kind, it is deployed in
minutes and can be moved to a new location with ease. EV ARC™ products are manufactured in the Company's San Diego facility by
combat veterans, the disabled, minorities and other highly talented, mission driven team members.
