Item 8.01  Other Events
-----------------------

         Envision  Solar   International,   Inc.,  a  Nevada   corporation  (the
"Company") is making a private placement of its common stock for general working
capital  purposes.  The private  placement is being made pursuant to Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated  under Section 4(2) of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended.

         In this  private  placement,  the Company is  offering up to  8,000,000
shares of the  Company's  common stock for a purchase  price of $0.25 per share,
seeking to raise $2 million (plus an 800,000 share over allotment  option).  The
closing is currently scheduled for April 30, 2012, but may be extended for up to
an additional 30 days.

         This notice does not constitute an offer to sell or a  solicitation  to
buy a security.  Any offer to sell or a solicitation  to buy a security from the
Company  is made  only to  prospective  investors  with whom the  Company  has a
pre-existing  relationship  and  only  by the  complete  Executive  Summary  and
exhibits thereto, dated March 22, 2012 (the "Memorandum") covering the Company's
common stock in the private  placement,  including the risk factors described in
the Memorandum.

         The securities offered in the Company's private placement have not been
registered  under the Act or any state securities laws. No shares may be resold,
assigned or otherwise transferred unless a registration  statement under the Act
is in effect, or the Company has received evidence  satisfactory to it that such
transfer does not involve a transaction requiring registration under the Act and
is in compliance with the Act.


                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the  requirements of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
