MIAMI BEACH, FL – July 26, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) – Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTC.BB:CCGI) reports it has partnered with national parking company, LAZ Parking NY/NJ, LLC to provide charging stations for electric vehicles at LAZ Parking locations throughout the New York and New Jersey metropolitan areas. This partnership is an effort to support the potential need for electric vehicle charging stations nationwide to satisfy the plans of automobile manufacturers such as Tesla Motors, the Renault and Nissan alliance, General Motors, Ford and others lining up to offer consumers a choice of electric vehicles available in dealer showrooms during 2010.

“As the number of electric vehicles on U.S. roads increases, thanks to a push from the U.S. Government and auto industry, the need to create a public charging infrastructure increases. Car Charging Group is in the development stages of an open system that is potentially cost-efficient and provides conveniently-located charging stations in numerous locations — homes, offices, parking garages,” said Car Charging Group CEO Michael D. Farkas. “Car Charging Group not only helps potential EV drivers access charging stations, eliminating range anxiety fears, but will also help property owners and managers attain potential financial gains from the installation of charging stations.”
The ChargePoint Level II (240 volts) charging stations are manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, the industry leader in electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Through the aid of government tax incentives, subsidies, loan guarantees and grants, Car Charging provides EV charging stations at no charge to property owners/managers while retaining ownership, thus allowing drivers access to convenient locations and partners to realize a percentage of the charging revenue generated.

“The past few years have seen tremendous growth for our company as we expand our parking services portfolio to include airports, hospitals, educational facilities, event venues, mixed-use developments, in addition to offices and stand-alone facilities,” said Eric Siskind, Regional Vice President New York/New Jersey of LAZ Parking. “We are consistently looking for ways to utilize new technology to increase service and profits including web-based parking systems, online payment, license plate recognition and automated valet applications. Installing electric vehicle charging stations is the next logical technological advancement to help our clients increase service and profits with the added bonus of helping them become more environmentally sensitive
