SECTION 8. OTHER EVENTS

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On or about June 2, 2017, Envision Solar International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), received a purchase order for 32 EV ARCs™ from the City of New York, New York.  The purchase order issued by the New York City Financial Management System, Department of City Wide Administrative Services, established an order amount value of $2,141,120.00.  The order was made under a contract awarded to the Company by the City of New York on May 18, 2017 after a competitive public bidding process.  The contract with the City of New York allows any city department to order EV ARC™ products from the Company as needed.  This latest purchase order is expected to provide EV ARC™ solar powered EV charging and emergency power to nine New York City agencies.  The EV ARCs for this purchase order are not designed to provide outdoor advertising capabilities.

The Company expects to commence manufacturing the EV ARCs™ this month and to complete delivery by August 2017.
