Michael D. Farkas Explains Electric Car Charging Technology on National News Channel

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Dec. 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Michael D. Farkas, Chief Executive Officer of Car Charging Group Inc., (OTCBB:CCGI), an owner and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, is appearing in a taped news segment running throughout the day on Fox News Channel, the national cable and satellite television news channel that broadcasts to over 102 million households in the United States.

The broadcast segment, titled "Utilities Scramble To Install Electric Car-Charging Stations," was hosted by Fox News Channel's correspondent Phil Keating who spoke to Michael about the electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

With more than 20 electric vehicle models, including the Chevrolet Volt, made by GM, and the Nissan LEAF, hitting the U.S. market over the next three years and $5 billion in government-backed investments for battery technology and consumer incentives, the U.S. EV market is poised for tremendous growth and widespread adoption. However, as the Fox segment notes, the transportation infrastructure must be updated to provide easy access to energy everywhere drivers live and work.

By investing at the forefront of the electric car revolution, Car Charging Group seeks to become the leading provider of electric car charging services. Farkas discussed on-air the business opportunity inherent in the entire process, "I see it today as being one of the biggest growth industries... you're changing the entire propulsion system of the transportation system."
