SAN DIEGO, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, has been granted a new patent by the European Patent Office. The patent covers Beam Global's Phase Change Composite (PCC™) material for Lithium-ion batteries and is titled Smart Phase Change Composite for Passive Thermal Management.

The newly allowed European patent claims expand upon Beam Global's U.S. Patent No. 12,422,195 and extend the Company's intellectual property protection into Europe, directly supporting its geographic expansion and customer diversification strategy. As Beam Global continues to grow its international operations, particularly across Europe and the Middle East, securing strong patent protection in key markets remains a high priority.

Beam Global's Smart PCC™ material is designed to act as an intelligent thermal switch, insulating batteries in cold conditions while passively keeping them cooler when exposed to high temperatures. This dynamic thermal regulation improves battery safety, reliability, performance, and lifespan, particularly in extreme operating environments.

"Thermal management is crucial to most essential battery operations and this new patent strengthens Beam Global's unique and valuable differentiated IP portfolio with solutions that matter to our customers," said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. "Europe is a vast market for our products and defending our competitive advantage there is just as important as defending it in the U.S. This is an important win for the Company, our shareholders and customers."

Beam Global's battery solutions are deployed by customers operating advanced technologies such as robotics, underwater and aerial drones, artificial intelligence-enabled devices, electric mobility platforms, and defense-related systems. These applications frequently operate in harsh, remote, or mission-critical environments where conventional battery technologies struggle to perform reliably. The Smart PCC™ material enhances both battery safety and reliability by accommodating the natural expansion of phase change composites when hot and contraction when cold.
