DPW Holdings’ Coolisys® Power Electronics Business Announces Pilot Program to Test ACECool™ EV Chargers at Three Tim Hortons Quick Service Restaurant Locations
DPW Holdings announced that its subsidiary, Coolisys Technologies, has agreed to install ACECool EV chargers at three Tim Hortons locations in Canada. This initiative aims to launch a revenue-sharing model with franchise owners, anticipating growth in the EV market. Construction and installation are expected to commence in Q1 2021. Despite the optimism expressed by CEO Amos Kohn, the success of this pilot program remains uncertain. Coolisys is also in discussions with other franchises to expand their network.
- Collaboration with Tim Hortons positions Coolisys in a key market.
- Potential revenue-sharing program could enhance profitability for franchise owners.
- Expansion discussions with multiple franchises indicate growth opportunities.
- No assurance of success for the pilot program.
- Dependence on franchisee adoption poses a risk to revenue expectations.
DPW Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: DPW) a diversified holding company (“DPW,” or the “Company”), announced that its power electronics business, Coolisys Technologies Corp.® (“Coolisys®”), has entered into an agreement with a franchisee to install and test the ACECool™ electric vehicle (“EV”) chargers at three Tim Hortons quick service restaurant locations in Canada as what the Company hopes will be the first step of a revenue sharing program targeting both national and regional fast-food franchisees. According to Franchise Direct, Tim Hortons is the largest restaurant chain in Canada. The site survey, provisioning and construction are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021. While the Company is encouraged by Coolisys’ pilot program, there is no assurance that it will be successful.
The Company expects that the program, assuming it develops as the Company presently anticipates, will allow franchise owners and operators to install the ACECool™ EV chargers and share in the net revenue from advertising and network usage. This program is anticipated to be a model for other strategic industry-focused and geo-focused networks. Coolisys is in discussions with multiple franchises and presently expects to announce other network partners in the first quarter of 2021.
Amos Kohn, President and CEO of Coolisys, said “We are optimistic about the launch of the ACECool™ EV charger pilot program for fast food franchisees. The opportunities for Coolisys in the growing EV marketplace are expected to drive significant sales growth over the next five years. We believe we are well positioned to address the increased demand for EV chargers, given our 50+ year history of providing innovative and highly-efficient power systems and solutions.”
