Beam Global powers new Massachusetts CommunityEV Carshare pilot with off-grid charging infrastructure.

Beam Global powers new Massachusetts CommunityEV Carshare pilot with off-grid charging infrastructure. July 30, 2026 06:00 ET | Source: Beam Global SAN DIEGO, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - 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(TM) 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(TM) 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(TM) 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. "Beam Global is excited to bring our innovative and reliable off-grid charging infrastructure products to this partnership and see them deliver benefits to more people across Greater Boston," said Beam Global President & CEO Desmond Wheatley. "With no construction and no connection to the grid, our rapidly deployed off-grid infrastructure solutions generate reliable electricity but they don't generate a utility bill so that people in these communities can access clean transportation options without delays and in the most cost-efficient manner." "CommunityEV Carshare is a transformative approach to solving two of the most important issues facing MAPC's region, transportation and climate change, by applying new transportation technology to increase equitable mobility and utilizing renewable energy infrastructure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said MAPC Executive Director Lizzi Weyant. "We are excited that this program will pilot EV charging without lengthy and expensive construction, as well as promote EV carsharing to underserved communities." These EV ARC(TM) deployments demonstrate how Beam Global can accelerate EV adoption by providing sustainable charging infrastructure where traditional grid-connected chargers are impractical. Each EV ARC(TM) generates and stores renewable energy on-site, enabling up to 265 e-miles with zero-unit cost electricity in a day, charging two vehicles simultaneously, and supporting multiple Zipcar charging sessions daily without increasing demand on the local electric grid. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, household vehicles are parked approximately 95% of the time, while Zipcar's Boston EV fleet data shows a median trip distance of just 25.5 miles. Together, these figures highlight the importance of rapidly deployable, clean renewable charging infrastructure, providing ample opportunity to recharge vehicles between relatively short trips. Beam Global is proud to support Massachusetts' goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with transportation accounting for 38% of the Commonwealth's emissions. About Beam Global Beam Global is a sustainable technology innovator which develops and manufactures infrastructure products and technologies.

Lucas: Don't let the lights go out in Massachusetts

Lucas: don't let the lights go out in Massachusetts. I bought my last bag of Cape Cod Potato Chips yesterday. I wasn't going to do it, but the party-size chips were on sale for $3.99 a bag at Market Basket, a dollar less than usual. I always like to buy local. So, I scooped up a bag, thinking that now that the once-admired and iconic Cape Cod company was leaving Massachusetts, I was leaving it. The once locally founded and owned Hyannis potato chip company will be shut down by its current owner, Campbell Soup Co., and its operations will be moved out of Massachusetts. The company said that 49 people will lose their jobs and that the Cape Cod company produced only 4% of the chips anyway. Nevertheless, whether the Hyannis plant produced 4% or 40% of the chips will be the last time I buy them, even though I liked them and admired the lighthouse on the packaging. The package looks so like Cape Cod, so like Massachusetts, so like New England. It is just too bad that there is no way to force Campbell Soup to take the chips and leave the lighthouse behind. After all, how are Massachusetts consumers going to react when they find that their Cape Cod Potato Chips with the lighthouse logo are no longer made in Massachusetts but are being shipped in from Campbell Soup plants in Beloit, Wisconsin, Hanover, Pennsylvania, and Charlotte, North Carolina? None of those places have a lighthouse. Not good. Now, the loss of 49 jobs may not mean much in the big picture, but they mean a lot if one of the jobs is yours. What is interesting about it all is that the founders of Cape Cod Potato Chips lived the American Dream, first starting the company and then eventually selling it to a major company. That too is part of the American dream. The company was founded by brothers Steve and Jude Bernard in 1980 in a Hyannis storefront where they sold their kettle-cooked chips. After struggling for years, the family-owned business finally took off with sales in supermarkets in Massachusetts and on the East Coast. Media outlets did favorable stories about the company's success. Its sales reached $30 million when the family sold the company, which eventually ended up in the hands of Campbell Soup. In leaving Massachusetts, Cape Cod Potato is joining other companies leaving Massachusetts for greener pastures in states with lower taxes. Just last week, Panera Bread, Zipcar, and Thermo Fisher Scientific each announced major closures or relocations out of state due to high taxes, high energy costs, and climate change regulations. Panera Bread is closing its Franklin bakery and eliminating 92 jobs. Zipcar is shutting down its Boston headquarters, cutting 125 jobs, and Thermo Fisher Scientific is closing its Franklin facility and laying off 103 people. This is happening while Gov. Maura Healey talks about a strong Massachusetts economy, while, under her very nose, businesses and people are leaving the state. A hands-on governor would have at least visited the plant and made an attractive proposal to Campbell Soup to reconsider shutting the Hyannis plant down. She could also have shown the same concern for the workers losing their jobs as she does for the criminal illegal immigrants she is protecting. That is what a governor is supposed to do. Instead, listening to her administration is like hearing the old Bee Gees singing about "when the lights all went out in Massachusetts."

Zipcar closes Boston headquarters, cuts 128 jobs in move to New Jersey

Zipcar is closing its Boston headquarters and laying off 128 workers as parent company Avis Budget Group consolidates operations at its global offices in Parsippany, New Jersey. The company informed Mayor Michelle Wu of the decision last week. Avis Budget Group acquired the Boston-founded car-sharing service in 2013. Despite the closure, Zipcar's regional field and fleet operations teams will remain based in Boston and other local markets to maintain day-to-day service. The company stated the consolidation will strengthen Zipcar's foundation and position it for continued service. Zipcar currently operates across 25 US states and Washington DC, with the company emphasising that members should expect unchanged service during the transition.
