According to a recent article in the Sun Sentinel, Car Charging Group Inc, trading as CCGI on the OTCBB is changing the electric vehicle landscape by continuously adding more and more locations to its US car charging station infrastructure. “The Company just installed electric-car charging stations at Dania Beach's new parking garage; the ribbon-cutting was last Thursday. And the company also has placed stations at a business park in Delray Beach and condominium complexes in Pompano Beach and Aventura.”
Additionally, it has in the last two months signed major partnership deals for car charging stations with notable companies such as LAZ Parking , a company has over 425,000 parking spaces under management in 21 states and more recently Icon Parking Systems. Both companies command a large share in the management of the major parking spaces in NYC and throughout the USA.
So what does this have to do with increasing demand for electric vehicles? The answer is quite simple, Shopping Centers attract thousands of people daily, the more main street customers see charging stations in commercial locations they frequent the more comfortable they will feel about purchasing a vehicle and plug –n-charge at the mall.
CCGI unique business model is tailored to shopping centers. It allows for a shopping center to immediately generate a new revenue source to what was once considered a loss leader and have a green thumbprint; at no cost to the owner of the shopping center. In fact shopping malls create their own market first by showing their potential electric vehicle purchasers that they have a place to park and charge and second, to benefit the mall’s merchants by adding a new value that increases traffic to its mall which translates to consumer shopping.
With a business model like that it is no wonder that Car Charging Group keeps adding new partners each month resulting in more car charging stations for people to view and be a key indicator in the purchase of electric vehicles.
