Overview
We provide an electric charging service for the electric vehicle (EV) automobile market, delivering convenient access for EV drivers to refuel their automobiles wherever they live, work and play. We seek to become a leading provider of EV charging services throughout North America and ultimately in Europe and Asia. In order for electric vehicles to become a mainstream reality, public EV charging stations need to be in place and readily available to consumers nationally.
We install electric charging services where EV owners are likely to live, commute, and shop, leading to a higher utilization on every installation investment. We contract with property owners and managers who control locations in high traffic areas where there is accelerating consumer adoption of electric cars as a less expensive means of transportation coupled with a focus on greenhouse gas savings.
We install fast charging stations, enabling most EV owners to fully recharge their batteries from empty in about four hours. However, most drivers will use our service to "top off" their batteries, to re-energize their batteries from approximately half a charge to a full charge. We set prices based on a variety of factors, some of which are local electricity tariffs, location, and competitive services. The stations that provide our service are sourced from a third party today, most of which are purchased from Coulomb Technologies.
Our approach is to become a strategic partner with property owners, who own high value real estate, and to demonstrate the value we offer their locations. Consumers seek businesses that support energy conservation and our service provides a differentiator for those real estate owners who want to promote themselves as supporters of the "green" movement. Electric vehicle charging provides this missing component for many property owners. Furthermore, our business model provides for the potential for increased revenue per parking spot. We offer the property owner a share in the revenue stream generated from the charging sessions as well as any other revenue derived from the location.
Over the past year and half, we have entered into contracts with and generated strong relationships with many of the essential property owners required to build a profitable charging business. Real estate segments we have established strong ties with include apartment complexes/MDUs for residential living, REITs, national parking garage owners and managers, retailers, shopping centers and malls, high population density municipalities, and office parks. Partnerships under contract in the parking market segment include ICON, Central, ACE, and LAZ Parking.
In the residential arena, contracts include Equity Residential, and Kettler. In the commercial venue, we have agreements with Forest City and Equity One. In the retail segment, relationships include Walgreens, Mall of America, Aventura Mall, and Four Seasons in Miami. Lastly, municipalities own and operate prime locations where we have relationships and those include the Pennsylvania Turnpike Hollywood, Florida, Norwalk, Connecticut and Dania Beach, Florida.
Our main source of revenue will be derived from the electric charging services, with pricing set as an hourly rate or on a per kilowatt hour rate. As more states adopt electricity deregulation, we will be in a more advantageous position to competitively price our service vis-a-vis refueling at home. As a first mover in the EV infrastructure category, we are set to capitalize on the opportunities presented by this emerging industry.
We are able to facilitate the purchase of EV charging stations through our wholly owned subsidiary, eCharging Stations, LLC. The installation and maintenance of the EV charging equipment is subcontracted through approved local vendors. It is competitively bid so as to maintain the lowest installation and on-going costs possible.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we have installed 56 charging units at 30 additional locations, bringing the total number of charging units and locations that we currently service to 164 and 94, respectively.
History
We were incorporated in October 2006 in Nevada with the intention of providing personal consultation services to the general public. On December 7, 2009, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Car Charging, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Car Charging").
At closing, pursuant to the majority consent of our board of directors and shareholders, we approved (i) an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Car Charging Group, Inc. and (ii) the authorization of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company; subsequently amended to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Additionally, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the state of Nevada designating rights to the authorized preferred stock of the Company.
During February, 2011, the Shareholders and Board of Directors authorized a decrease of our issued and outstanding common stock, in the form of a reverse stock-split, on a one-for-fifty (1:50) basis (the "Reverse Stock-Split"). All share and per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock-Split.
Corporate Structure
Car Charging Group, Inc. is the parent company of Car Charging, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which serves as the main operating company and is, in turn, the parent company of several distinct wholly-owned subsidiary operating companies.

Period from September 3, 2009 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012
Our cumulative net operating loss since inception is attributable to the fact that we have not derived significant revenue from operations to offset our business development expenses. Losses from operations since inception have amounted to $16,081,839 (including non-cash charges of $10,741,287 which includes the estimated value of warrants and common stock issued for services) primarily consisting of consulting, professional fees and public/investor relations fees. Our officers and staff have initiated a number of negotiations to install the selected charging stations through-out the United States and Europe. Manufacture and supply of electric vehicles that will require utilization of our services is not anticipated to be significant until the last calendar quarter of 2014; this gives us adequate time to develop its distribution plan, but also requires that we continue to develop capital sources.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 6, 2012, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at per share price of $1.00. The agreement includes an option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of the Series B Preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share within 60 days of the issuance of the original 1,000,000 shares in June 2012. Simultaneously with the issuance of the original 1,000,000 Series B Preferred shares, Purchaser was entitled to receive two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of CarCharging Limited (a subsidiary formed June 2012) in exchange for consulting services for developing business relationships and obtaining charging station locations in Romania. Additionally, if the Purchaser exercises its options in the initial stock purchase agreement, it will receive additional payment for their consulting services for developing business relationships and obtaining charging station locations in Greece in the form of 3% of the total outstanding common stock of CarCharging Ltd. We received the $900,000, net of issuance costs, in February 2012 and have issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock as of June 28, 2012.
