PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), the undersigned CAR CHARGING GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation with a mailing address of 1691 Michigan Avenue, Suite 601, Miami Beach, FL 33139   (hereinafter referred to as the “ Borrower ”), promises to pay to the order _________________________ ,  its successors and/or assigns (hereinafter referred to as “ Holder ”) , at such place as Holder may designate, the principal sum set forth under this Promissory Note (the “ Note ”) under the following terms and conditions.

1.              Loan Amount and Interest Calculation .

a.            Loan .   Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of Holder, the principal sum of ________________ ($_____) (the “ Loan ”).

b.            No Interest .  The principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note and outstanding from time to time shall not bear interest unless there is an Event of Default (as defined below).

2.              Repayment Terms .
 
a.            Periodic Payments .  This is an unsecured Note with repayment in the form of regular installment payments commencing on the three (3) month anniversary of the date of this Note, and on each subsequent three (3) month anniversary until the Maturity Date, equal to Twenty-Five Thousand dollars ($25,000).
 
b.            Maturity Date .  The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any), shall mature and be due and payable to Holder on January 3, 2014 (the “ Maturity Date ”).  On the Maturity Date, all unpaid principal, accrued interest and any and all other sums due hereunder shall be paid in full.

3.              Payments .

a.            All payments under this Note shall be made to Holder or its order, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds and delivered to Holder by check or wire transfer to an account designated by written instructions delivered by Holder to Borrower. If a payment under this Note otherwise would become due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and interest shall be payable thereon during such extension.
 
 
 

 
 
b.           Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the State of New York or the applicable laws of the United States of America, whichever shall be higher (the “ Maximum Rate ”).

4.              Application of Payment and Pre-Payment

c.           Borrower institutes a proceeding seeking relief as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any state insolvency law; or
 
d.           An order is entered in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any state insolvency law declaring Borrower to be insolvent, or appointing a receiver or similar official for substantially all Borrower’s properties, and either (i) Borrower consents to the entry of that order, or (ii) that order is not dismissed within 90 days.
 
 
Page 2

 
 
e.           At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for a period of ten (10) Business Days from the date of such Event of Default, (i) Holder may declare the entire remaining principal Loan balance immediately due and payable and (ii) Borrower shall be required to pay interest on the accelerated principal Loan balance at the Default Interest Rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.

7.              Costs, Indemnities And Expenses .

10.            Invalidity .  If any term, clause or provision of this Note shall be determined by any court to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of such term, clause or provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder thereof or of any other term, clause or provision hereof, and this Note shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable term, clause or provision had not been contained herein, and all covenants, obligations and agreements shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

Exhibit 99.1
 
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CarCharging TM Completes Acquisition of EVPass ® and its Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Throughout Central New York
¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾
As Electric Car Sales Continue to Set Records, CarCharging Completes Acquisition of Second EV Charging Provider in New York

April 16, 2013 - Miami Beach, Fla. - Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CCGI) (“CarCharging”), a nationwide provider of convenient electric vehicle (EV) charging services, announced the closing of its acquisition of EVPass LLC., which specializes in building destination and location networks for EV charging, and its Central New York Destination Location Network (“CNY Network”), from Synapse Sustainability Trust, Inc., a 501c-3 organization based in Syracuse, New York.

CarCharging now owns and operates the EV charging stations formerly operated by EVPass.  The EVPass charging stations were deployed in partnership with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority ("NYSERDA”), and are strategically located throughout Central New York, including Syracuse, Rome, and the surrounding areas.  The destination locations are comprised of shopping malls, including DestinyUSA, one of the largest shopping malls in the Northeast; higher education institutions such as SUNY-ESF; venues such as the JFK Arena in Rome, NY and the Oncenter Convention Center in Syracuse, NY; as well as 39 downtown commuter parking locations in Syracuse, NY. CarCharging will also administer the pending NYSERDA grant awarded to EVPass, which includes installing EV charging stations throughout Upstate New York.

“Electric Vehicle sales continue to set records,” said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of CarCharging. “March 2013 was the best month of sales ever for the Nissan LEAF, surpassing even Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn’s expectations, and Tesla’s Model S sold more than any other EV.  We intend to support the EV market by expanding the availability of EV charging services, not only in New York, but throughout the country.”

CarCharging also finalized the appointment of Eckardt C. Beck, the Executive Director of Synapse Sustainability Trust, to its Board of Directors.

“Mr. Beck has an extensive in background working with government agencies and private companies to develop environmental policies and programs, and we are extremely excited about having him join our Board of Directors,” said Mr. Farkas.

After developing the first ever Clean Air Act State Air Implementation Plan (SIP) in Connecticut, Mr. Beck served two US Presidents, and managed the national water and waste programs for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He earned the Presidential Distinguished Executive Award for chairing the development of the National Toxic Strategy for the EPA, an environmental policy roadmap that has been followed for the past 40 years. Mr. Beck then moved to the private sector, where he founded and built the largest analytic testing and data processing laboratory in the USA. He also led the leveraged buyout of an environmental company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and subsequently became the owner/operator of, among other things, the nation’s largest sewage treatment company.  Following successful exits from those businesses, Mr. Beck founded Synapse Partners, LLC, which is now the largest aggregator of environmental insurance in the USA. He also founded Synapse Sustainability Trust, Inc., which incubated the development of the trailblazing models of regional EV transportation, EVPass and the CNY Network.
 
 
 

 
 
Both CarCharging and EVPass utilize EV charging stations manufactured by ChargePoint®, which provide 240 volts with 32 amps of power to quickly recharge an EV’s battery. EV drivers can easily request CarCharging’s evCharge card online to initiate use and payment at any intelligent CarCharging station. The CarCharging card also allows drivers to use charging locations on the ChargePoint® Network, the largest national online network connecting EV drivers to EV charging stations.  Users can pinpoint EV charging station locations using the CarCharging map at www.CarCharging.com and the ChargePoint ® mobile application for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry phones, which provides real-time charging station location information with turn-by-turn directions.
