Insights
This first-of-its-kind sponsorship deal represents a significant strategic pivot for Beam Global, introducing a new owner-operator business model that could substantially impact their revenue structure. The agreement with Globos Osiguranje for five EV ARC™ systems creates a long-term recurring revenue stream with favorable economics, as the solar-powered nature eliminates typical operational costs like electricity.
The partnership with VINCI Airports, which operates 70+ airports globally, opens substantial expansion opportunities. The zero-construction deployment model is particularly attractive for 24/7 operations like airports, addressing a key market pain point. This could lead to rapid scaling of the sponsorship model across VINCI's network and beyond, potentially transforming Beam's revenue model from one-time sales to predictable recurring income.
The EV ARC™ systems provide free public EV charging and a long-term recurring revenue stream for Beam Global
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, today announced its first sponsorship deal with Globos Osiguranje, one of Serbia’s premier insurance companies. Under this deal, Globos Osiguranje has sponsored five EV ARC™ solar-powered EV charging stations that are now deployed at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, Serbia's busiest international travel hub, and will provide free public electric vehicle (EV) charging.
In order to facilitate this sponsored Driving on Sunshine initiative, Beam Global previously secured an agreement with Belgrade Airport, part of VINCI Airports, an operator of over 70 airports in 14 nations across the globe, to operate the network in prime locations at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport with further cooperation with VINCI Airports to be considered.
This milestone three-way partnership marks Beam Global’s entry into an owner-operator business model, generating income through a long-term annuity stream with recurring payments. By retaining ownership of the EV ARC™ systems, Beam Global secures a steady, predictable revenue stream while delivering sustainable solutions. Globos Osiguranje is uniquely able to provide Driving on Sunshine sponsored EV charging for free to EV owners because EV ARC™ systems do not require utility electricity and do not generate costs for the energy dispensed. Providing the EV charging for free while monetizing the sponsorship significantly lowers administrative costs and risks. The amenity value delivered to site hosts enables Beam Global to receive highly favorable economic terms on the parking spaces in which the EV ARC™ systems are placed. This unique model means that sponsorship payments are not diluted by typical operating costs which might burden companies that do not have Beam Global’s technology advantage.
“I have been describing this sponsorship model for several years. The partnership with Globos Osiguranje at the Belgrade Airport is an exciting milestone for Beam Global as we continue to expand across Europe and it’s very exciting in that it validates the Driving on Sunshine sponsorship model,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “We are delighted to be working with Vinci. Airports represent a tremendous opportunity for sustainable infrastructure solutions but they cannot afford to have their parking lots disrupted by construction and electrical work because they work 365 days a year. With this sponsorship model and our zero construction deployments, we are opening doors for similar engagements in major travel hubs throughout the world. We’re committed to providing clean, reliable off-grid EV charging solutions that not only meet the growing demand for public charging infrastructure but also create a sustainable, recurring revenue stream for Beam with very favorable terms and no disruption for our airport or other partners.”
Five solar-powered EV ARC™ units are now deployed for public EV charging at the Belgrade Airport. Each off-grid unit can charge multiple vehicles at once, making it a resilient and sustainable solution for the airport’s high-traffic environment. The systems are positioned in P1, Prime, the closest car park to the terminal building.
“We are proud to be at the forefront of promoting sustainable energy solutions in Serbia through this sponsorship with Beam Global,” said Siniša Pratljačić, CEO at Globos Osiguranje. “By sponsoring EV ARC™ products at one of Serbia’s most frequented locations, we are taking an important step in our commitment to environmental responsibility and green innovation.”
“We are proud to make Belgrade Airport the first airport in the world to offer free, standalone,
This first-of-its-kind partnership not only enhances Serbia’s green infrastructure but also demonstrates Beam Global’s potential to expand its unique EV charging solutions globally through sponsorship and owner-operator models.
