Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI) Partners With Federal Realty Investment Trust to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Retail Sites Nationwide
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - December 20, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, and Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) announced today a partnership to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Federal Realty's portfolio of 18.6 million square feet of high quality retail assets in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and California.
"Besides the obvious environmental benefits, a big advantage of electric cars will be the ability to conveniently fuel your vehicle when you're already stopped somewhere on your daily routine," said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of Car Charging Group. "Because of its prime locations across the nation, Federal Realty's unique retail and mixed use destinations serve as popular gathering places within the communities, making them perfect locations to top off your EV battery while you shop or dine."
During the first phase of the program, EV charging stations will be installed at the following Federal Realty Investment Trust properties:
"Federal Realty is committed to running our business in a socially responsible manner that balances our consideration for the environment with creating long-term value for our shareholders," said Mike Kelleher, director of asset management of Federal Realty. "The partnership with Car Charging Group to install EV charging stations is the next step in the continual greening of our operations, which already includes the creation of biofuels through recycled oil and grease waste from restaurants at our Bethesda Row mixed-use development, LEED certifications at many of our recent developments as well as numerous energy efficiencies and minimized usage of natural resource at a number of properties throughout the portfolio."
"This is an exciting partnership as it further expands our nationwide EV charging network," said Brian Golomb, director of sales for Car Charging Group, Inc. "These are also high-profile properties, which will bring even further awareness to the importance of EVs in the evolving U.S. transportation system."
About Car Charging Group, Inc.:
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI.OB), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is the pioneer and one of the nation's fastest growing providers of EV charging services. Our ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. Our strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. After strategically assessing the most suitable and visible locations with our facility partners, we install and maintain the EV charging stations at no cost to our partners. Our partners benefit by sharing in the revenue generated from the EV charging stations while enhancing green initiatives throughout their business operations. Since we launched operations in 2009, we have developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. More than one million plug-in electric vehicles, such as the Nissan LEAF, GM Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Tesla Model S, Ford Focus EV as well as many others, are expected to be on the road in the U.S. by 2015 with estimates calling for more than 40 million on the road worldwide in 2030.

China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) News: Magnesium Batteries Could Establish US Leadership in EV BatteryMarket
POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for investors, reports on new developments in high efficient magnesium batteries.
Magnesium production and demand has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, and now a global need for green vehicle solutions may spike the demand even further.
Hoping to be first to market with a magnesium battery for electric cars, Pellion Technologies, Inc (www.pelliontech.com) is developing low-cost rechargeable Magnesium Batteries with high energy density.
Competing with lithium-ion batteries, magnesium batteries will potentially be cheaper, more efficient and also address a new issue that has come to surface – safety.
According to the Advanced Research Projects Agency at the US Department of Energy site, "Pellion Technologies, an MIT spin-out company, will develop inexpensive high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries with the potential to disrupt current energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. To develop a game-changing 33 magnesium-ion battery, Pellion will leverage high throughput computational materials design, coupled with accelerated materials synthesis and electrolyte optimization, to identify new high-energy density magnesium cathode materials and compatible electrolyte chemistries. If successful, this project will develop the first commercial magnesium-ion battery and will establish U.S. technological leadership in this exciting new high energy battery chemistry for electrified vehicle applications."
With US auto sales improving and global demand and pressure to address climate change with green automotive solutions, magnesium producer China Direct Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII) , is positioned with a substantial lead in market share of supplying pure magnesium and will be a key player in the green roads of the future.
China Direct Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII), is a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides business and financial consulting services. Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida with corporate offices in Shanghai, China Direct Industries' unique infrastructure provides a platform to expand business opportunities globally while effectively and efficiently accessing the U.S. capital markets.

China Stock News; A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH)
POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, publishes an industry overview and growth opportunities for China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH), a company positioned in the interior tile industry in China for both residential and commercial markets.
A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc
By: Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.
China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH). is a holding company which owns a 100% stake in Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. based in Zhucheng city of Shandong Province in China. Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. manufactures porcelain tiles used for interior residential and commercial flooring and sells through a distribution network of more than 150 distributors across 10 provinces concentrating on major second and third tier cities located primarily in Eastern and Central China.
As an indication of the CAAH growth opportunity, following are comments and forecasts on the key markets and trends for Chinese real estate in general and for ceramic tiles in particular.
Cushman & Wakefield estimates 35% Commercial Real Estate Development Growth for Q1 2011: “Chinese real estate market has gone through a year of stringent controls in 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, the commercial property market in China witnessed new highs in the office, retail, industrial and investment markets. In the first two months of 2011, total volume of investment in real estate development grew by 35% year-on-year. Despite the government's tightening control of the property market, the pace of the real estate development in China is still accelerating.”
SouFun Holdings Limited America (NYSE: SFUN) reports record revenue for Q3 2011: As another indicator of the growth of the Chinese real estate market, SouFun, which operates the leading real estate internet portal and home furnishing and improvement website in China, continues to report substantial growth. For Q3 11, SFUN reported that quarterly revenue of $109 million nearly doubled over Q3 10. The Company also reported that revenue grew 116% from 2008 - 2010. Marketing generated 75% of SFUN 2010 revenue, and includes traditional Internet advertisements such as banners, links, logos and floating signs, as well as featured promotions. As an illustration of the types of operators that are active in the real estate sector, SFUN reports that its customers consist of the types of customers also likely to be tile purchasers, including:
China Ceramics Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) Forecasts Net Increase in Urban Residential Building Stock in 10 Chinese Cities as Equal to or Greater than the Existing Residential Building Stock of Some European Countries: While the degree of growth cited by Cushman & Wakefield leads some to believe that the Chinese real market is strong and growing, this rapid growth has caused others to ask whether the Chinese real estate market is a bubble. This question was the subject a recent Time magazine article in which the possibility of a Chinese real estate bubble was argued to be as important an economic question as the future of the Euro and whether the U.S. re-enters a recession.
While the growth of the Chinese real estate market may be unprecedented, the massive rural to urban migration continues as some estimates forecast that 400 million more Chinese citizens will urbanize over the coming decades. While the market's ability to address this massive historical and current growth may be uncertain in the near term, and the impact of PRC monetary and fiscal policy on the market also is uncertain, the longer term trend towards a massive continuing wave of urbanization seems clear.
As one example of the potential for companies whose products supply this urbanization, the following data from China Ceramics Co. Ltd. illustrates the magnitude of the opportunity. Citing sources including the Economist Intelligence Unit, National Bureau of Statistics (China), and UNECE, CCCL's September 2011 Investor Presentation provides the following comparison for growth in Chinese cities relative to ten European nations:
Although it may or may not be the case that China's real estate market has grown too much too fast, a longer term view seems to support the argument that a massive wave of urbanization is likely to continue, and this creates a broad range of commercial opportunity. With a reported $12 million in revenue for Q3 11 representing a 39% year over year increase, and a network of 150 distributors in 10 Chinese provinces, China America seems to be in position to take advantage of the long-term Chinese real estate and tile market trends.

Electric Car Stock News: Car Charging Group (OTCBB:CCGI) Awarded $1 Million Grant by Pennsylvania Department of EP
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - December 15, 2011 (Investorideas.com Renewable Energy Newswire) - Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, today announced it has been awarded a $1 million grant by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to install EV charging stations at 17 service plazas on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
"This grant represents a tremendous accomplishment for our Company and endorsement of our industry leading capabilities to install and operate EV charging stations," said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of Car Charging Group. "We are extremely excited about this major project with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to further develop EV infrastructure on the Pennsylvania Turnpike."
"Pennsylvania has been -- and will continue to be -- a nationwide leader on energy issues in all sectors," Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Mike Krancer said.
"The Pennsylvania Turnpike has a long history of innovation in highway transportation," Turnpike Commission Chairman William K. Lieberman said. "We are pleased to participate in the effort to expand the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Pennsylvania by offering electric car owners easy access to charging stations at convenient locations."
Car Charging Group will install Level II charging stations, which can charge a car in roughly four hours, and Level III charging stations, which can charge a car in about 20 minutes. The EV charging stations will be installed at the service plazas in three phases. The first phase of the work will be incorporated into ongoing service-plaza renovations between Harrisburg and New Jersey. Later phases will involve service plazas between Harrisburg and Ohio, and then along the Northeastern Extension. The project is expected to be completed by June 30, 2013.
Car Charging Group will install EV charging stations manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, the leading EV charging solutions company. Users will have access to the ChargePoint(R) Network, the largest global online network connecting EV drivers to unoccupied charging stations. Car Charging Group will provide flexible payment options, the ability to make reservations, and tracking of customer usage patterns, energy use, costs and revenues, all via the ChargePoint Network's cloud-based software service plans for managing EV charging operations. Through the network, EV drivers benefit from ChargePoint mobile apps (iPhone, Blackberry and Android), mapping services and driver support services.
The Turnpike Commission has also committed up to $500,000 in electric upgrades at the plazas to provide the charging stations with the necessary voltage.
The DEP grant is provided through the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program, which is funded by a portion of the gross utilities receipts tax.
About Car Charging Group, Inc.:
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is the pioneer and one of the nation's fastest growing providers of EV charging services. Our ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. Our strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. After strategically assessing the most suitable and visible locations with our facility partners, we install and maintain the EV charging stations at no cost to our partners. Our partners benefit by sharing in the revenue generated from the EV charging stations while enhancing green initiatives throughout their business operations. Since we launched operations in 2009, we have developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. More than one million plug-in electric vehicles, such as the Nissan LEAF, GM Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Tesla Model S, Ford Focus EV as well as many others, are expected to be on the road in the U.S. by 2015 with estimates calling for more than 40 million on the road worldwide in 2030.

Biotech/ Pharma Stock Trading Alert: Antares (NYSE Amex: AIS) Trades Down on BioSante News
BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPAX) announced on the close yesterday that its top-line results from its two pivotal Phase III LibiGel (testosterone gel) efficacy trials. Initial analysis of the data from these trials shows that the trials did not meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints. Although there were no statistical differences in the endpoints, all results were in the appropriate directions. LibiGel is in development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved product. BioSante is trading down at $0.4801, down 1.6399 (77.35%) 12:28PM EST.
Antares' partnership with BioSante includes LibiGel® transdermal testosterone gel in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
"Antares Sell-Off is a Holiday Gift"- Josh Levine
"After the market close yesterday, Antares Pharma (AIS) partner Biosante reported results from two Phase III efficacy trials for Libigel, which is used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder in post-menopausal women. Here's the bottom line: While Libigel was extremely effective and reinforced previous studies, the placebo group fared nearly as well. The failure appears to have been due to a surprisingly high placebo effect. The impact on Biosante is devastating, but it's only a minor bump in the road for Antares. Today's 30%-plus drop in AIS shares is an overreaction and the stock will rebound fully in time."
He also noted, "Libigel, if successful, would have only begun contributing revenues to Antares in 2015."

What’s Charging the Electric Car Market? – How Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI) and The Better Place are Growing the Global EV Infrastructure
POINT ROBERTS, December 14, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for independent investors, publishes the following CFA commentary on the EV charging market and how Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI) and the Better Place are growing the global infrastructure for electric cars .
The report, Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.
Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is one of the nation's fastest growing providers of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging services. The Company’s ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. The CCGI strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. Since launching operations in 2009, CCGI has developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. In addition to working with private enterprise, CCGI also pursues public sector opportunities. As an example, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection[i] announced 12/14/11 that that CCGI has been awarded a $1 million grant to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure by installing charging stations at 17 Turnpike service plazas.
In an attempt to understand the magnitude of the potential demand load increase, and to prepare for the impact the EV market growth may have on the electric grid, the ISO/RTC Council commissioned a study , “Assessment of Plug-in Electric Vehicle Integration with ISO/RTO Systems,” in which it was estimated that 1 million to 2.5 million EV’s may be on North American roads by 2015 – 2020. The following graphic illustrates the reports conclusion that the “slow” growth scenario is likely to result in 1 million EV by 2020:
For the period from 2017 – 2030, the study finds that: “This period is considered as the beginning of the mass-market...New technologies, advanced features, and new charging capabilities likely will be available. Third-generation PEVs are likely to begin appearing on the market. Most importantly, the vehicles will likely have appeal to mainstream automotive customers and become mass market products.”
With an estimated 842 vehicles per 1,000 citizens in the U.S. alone and the developing world’s per capita vehicle ownership ratios still exponentially below those of the U.S., the potential market opportunity for EV’s and the charging of EV’s is challenging to quantify but not difficult to characterize as very large.
Based on the recent capital raise by EV charging system operator Better Place, it seems clear that investors such as GE, UBS, HSBC and Morgan Stanley have concluded that the opportunity is indeed significant for the right operator. Announced November 11, 2011, Better Place recently completed a $200 million financing that valued the company at $2.25 billion on a post money / fully diluted basis. Better Place also reported that the Company has raised $750 million since its founding in 2007.
The Better Place solution is a model in which batteries are switched out rather than re-charged in the vehicle. According to its corporate description, Better Place “owns and operates a network of battery switch stations and public/personal charge spots, along with the supply of batteries that power the cars, to provide drivers with instant range extension and the convenience to drive, switch and go across an entire region.” Better Place also reported that the financing proceeds would be used to expand operations into Western Europe and that other deployments are in progress in two U.S. states and several other countries.
As a private company, Better Place has no obligation to disclose detailed operational and financial data, so it is challenging to analyze its valuation relative to publicly traded companies such as Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI), which as noted previously, has reported that its partner relationships provide access to 6.4 million parking spots, while CCGI's recent market capitalization was under $65 million.. There are publicly traded companies such as iGo, Inc. (NASDAQ: IGOI) and ZAGG Inc. (NASDAQ: ZAGG) whose operations have some degree of comparability to those of Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI). However, like some of the electronics industry titans with some manner of presence in the sector, Car Charging Group’s (OTCBB: CCGI) comparables generally have operations that also include products and markets other than EV charging systems.
Regardless of the valuation methodology, given the level at which Better Place recently was valued by a group of sophisticated investors, it seems clear that the market is concluding that there is an opportunity to thrive in the car charging sector. Companies with strong systems, management teams, relationships and competitive positions may be worth a closer look for investors interested in finding a way to take advantage of what seems to be a rapidly expanding EV charging market.
