Beam Global (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation, energy storage and security, and smart city infrastructure, today announced that its EV ARC™ off-grid solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging systems have been deployed as part of the new CommunityEV Carshare pilot launched by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) in Massachusetts.

The pilot combines Beam Global's rapidly deployable off-grid, battery-enhanced charging infrastructure products with EVs from Zipcar to expand access to affordable, clean transportation in communities that have traditionally lacked carsharing services. Four locations across Greater Boston are now equipped with Beam EV ARC™ systems, allowing electric vehicles to be charged with zero-unit cost for the electricity using renewable energy, without requiring construction, trenching, electrical work or utility connections. The EV ARC™ systems are rented by MAPC, creating a new recurring revenue stream for Beam Global and providing an excellent entry point for carsharing businesses to reduce capital requirements for infrastructure whilst delivering zero utility cost electricity to their customer community.
