Worksport™ Announces Launch Date for TerraVis™, World’s First Solar Charging System for Pickup Trucks

 

 

TORONTO  — Worksport Ltd (Formerly Franchise Holdings International Ltd)., (OTCQB: WKSP) (or the “Company”) is announcing the global launch of its much anticipated TerraVis™ System, which is believed to be the world’s first automotive add-on solar accessory that will electrify conventional trucks and soon provide a meaningful charge for forthcoming electric pickups and other light trucks.

The launch will take place on Thursday, August 20 at 2 p.m. EST at www.goterravis.com.

TerraVis is a highly advanced fusion of solar engineering, technology, and design for light duty pickup trucks, the top selling vehicles in North America. TerraVis will provide users with a customized user experience, allowing the ability to do more with the truck while providing a meaningful energy source with no carbon footprint. Worksport has been developing and refining this new technological breakthrough for many years and has applied for the appropriate patents to preserve and secure its intellectual property.

“This is a great day in a great year for Worksport,” said CEO Steven Rossi. “When the launch occurs, customers and investors will be able to see how much work has gone into this outstanding technologically advanced and propriety solar product. We expect that it will be exceptionally accretive to the company.”

The launch will comprise product videos, photos, and early specifications as the company works diligently towards finalizing the product and negotiating economic partnerships, Rossi said.

Along with the TerraVis– Worksport will also be launching an all-new website later this week, which will contain all-new photos, videos, and technical materials (such as installation instructions and warranty information). “The new website will be geared towards building the Worksport brand equity and interest as the Company’s management works diligently towards a goal of leading its market in innovation, quality, price, and revenues,” Rossi said.

In the near future, the new Worksport site will also utilize a proprietary revenue-centric backend system where Worksport customers can place and manage orders, as well as track shipments, and pay account balances. This technology will place Worksport in a key position as an advanced vertically integrated, connected, and accessible manufacturing brand.

“We are entering the era we have been working toward for so long,” Rossi said. “With hard work, the Worksport dream is coming true, with revenues, reach, customers, technology, a brand and patent- and trademark-protected intellectual property working together in an unbeatable combination achieving long-predicted success. For Worksport, the best is yet to come.”

The Ocean Discovery Institute in San Diego, California Deploys Solar Tree® Products From Envision Solar as Part of its Net Zero Sustainability Program

The Ocean Discovery Institute in San Diego, California Deploys Solar Tree® Products From Envision Solar as Part of its Net Zero Sustainability Program

 

SAN DIEGO, July 28, 2020  — Envision Solar International, Inc., (Nasdaq: EVSI, EVSIW) (“Envision Solar,” or the “Company”), the leading producer of unique and sustainable infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging, energy security and outdoor media announced today that Baker Electric deployed two of the company’s Solar Tree® solar-powered sustainable infrastructure products for the Ocean Discovery Institute (“ODI”) in San Diego. ODI empowers young people from underserved urban communities to transform their lives, their community and our world as science and conservation leaders.

Envision Solar has been installing Solar Tree® products since 2008 for organizations like McDonalds, Dell, Kohl’s and San Diego Gas and Electric. Envision’s new generation of Solar Tree® products with on-board battery storage and the same ARC Technology used in the Company’s EV ARC™ products, are designed to provide charging for electric buses, electric heavy-duty vehicles, electric agricultural equipment, public transportation and growing electric vehicle options in the construction industry. Solar Tree® DCFC products do not require a connection to the utility grid and will continue to fuel vital vehicles during grid failures and provide an emergency source of power to first responders or others.

“With companies like Tesla, Daimler/Freightliner and Cummins bringing all-electric heavy-duty semi-trucks to market and with laws being passed in California and Europe, we believe the demand for sustainable heavy-duty EV charging infrastructure products will increase dramatically in the coming years,” said Envision Solar CEO Desmond Wheatley. “This new generation Solar Tree product will serve electric vehicles in the shipping, transportation, construction and agriculture industries.”

In a move to tackle climate change, California will require manufacturers to sell more electric trucks starting in 2024. The measure, approved unanimously in June by the California Air Resources Board, says that by 2045 all new trucks sold in the state should be zero-emissions. Electrification of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) can provide simultaneous gains in freight efficiency, emissions reductions and performance improvements. Class 3-8 trucks represent a disproportionate contribution to emissions; they are 5% of vehicles on US roads yet produce 28% of vehicle emissions. Government regulations from the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) are mandating GHG (greenhouse gas) reductions further spurring future growth in the electrification of HDVs.

Envision Solar’s 100% Renewably Powered Charger Demonstrates City’s Commitment to Sustainability and Building Clean EV Charging Infrastructure

 

SAN DIEGO, July 22, 2020  — Envision Solar International, Inc., (Nasdaq: EVSI, EVSIW) (“Envision Solar,” or the “Company”), the leading producer of unique and sustainable infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging, energy security and outdoor media announced today that the City of San Luis Obispo, California has deployed the solar-powered EV ARC™ 2020 to provide EV charging for city fleet vehicles. The EV ARC™ infrastructure product which is powering a ChargePoint dual-plug charger is deployed adjacent to City Hall and includes an emergency power panel that can be used by first responders, which adds to the City’s inventory of energy resiliency and emergency preparedness assets.The charger was funded primarily by the San Luis Obispo (SLO) County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and was purchased through the California State Contract #1-18-61-16.

“The City of San Luis Obispo is excited to add the EV ARC solar powered charging station to fuel our fleet vehicles with emissions free energy that will still be available to us during grid outages,” said Chris Read, Sustainability Manager for the City of San Luis Obispo. “We needed a City Hall location but it would have been disruptive and expensive to install in-ground chargers. The EV ARC arrived just a few days after we ordered it and required no construction or disruption to our civic center area.”

The deployment of 100% renewably powered EV ARC™ charging supports the City’s 2019-2021 Climate Action Major City Goal and immediately began reducing greenhouse gas emissions from municipal operations. Because the unit is off grid, there is no monthly utility bill for the City. EV ARC™ infrastructure products can be easily transported to another location if needed.

“San Luis Obispo joins over 100 municipalities across the U.S. using EV ARC products for their sustainable EV charging infrastructure,” said Envision Solar CEO, Desmond Wheatley. “Buying off the California contract allows municipalities to rapidly build out EV charging infrastructure with deployment possible in days instead of months or years. In the case of San Luis, the unit was deployed in minutes, just four days after they placed their order.”
