SAN DIEGO, CA --(Marketwired - March 20, 2018) - Envision Solar International, Inc., (OTCQB: EVSI)
("Envision Solar," or the "Company"), the leading renewably energized EV charging, outdoor media and energy security products
company, is charging the Nikola NZT a tactical Electric Vehicle at the Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) at the Camp
Pendleton Marine Corps base in Southern California.
The EV ARC™ unit is providing an off-grid source of power in a remote area for the exercise, allowing tactical Electric
Vehicles and other essential equipment to operate over an extended period of time and away from utility grid infrastructure, thus
simulating a typical forward operating environment. EV ARC™ units replace diesel or gasoline generators and as such the tactical
EVs will continue to operate without any requirement to deliver fuels to dangerous or remote locations. EV ARC™ products run
silent and do not give off the heat signature generally associated with internal combustion engine generators.
General Robert Neller stated that what Marines really need "is a way to recharge batteries-or maintain a sort of expeditionary
power capability that doesn't cause me to pull a wagon or something."
Envision Solar's EV ARC™ product is rapidly deployed and is currently providing fuel for tactical vehicles at the exercise. It
is also equipped with emergency power panels and 3 phase connectors to provide a source of off grid, highly reliable power in any
location where it can see the sky.
The US Secretary of the Navy has announced a goal to receive 50% of the energy the navy consumes come from alternative sources
by 2020.
The pairing of the EV ARC™ and the Nikola Reckless is a glimpse into the future of expeditionary warfare. Both the EV ARC™ and
the Reckless are silent, powerful and sit on the cutting edge of their respective industries.
Invented and manufactured in California, the patented EV ARC™ fits inside a parking space, but does not reduce available
parking, and generates enough clean solar electricity to power up to 225 miles of EV driving in a day. The system's solar
electrical generation is enhanced by EnvisionTrak™ which causes the array to follow the sun, generating up to 25% more
electricity than a fixed array. The energy is stored in the EV ARC™ product's energy storage for charging day or night, and to
provide emergency power during grid failure. 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, individuals with disabilities, and other minority demographics and highly
talented, mission-driven team members.
