Beam Global (NASDAQ: BEEM) announced that the European Patent Office has granted the company European Patent EP 4 348 756 B1, titled "Smart Phase Change Composite for Passive Thermal Management," according to a press release issued June 16, 2026.

The patent covers Beam Global's Smart Phase Change Composite (PCC™) technology for lithium-ion batteries. The material functions as a thermal switch, insulating batteries in cold conditions and dissipating heat at high temperatures, without the use of active cooling systems.

The technology accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of phase change composites as temperatures fluctuate, enabling passive thermal regulation. Beam Global states the technology can be applied across electric mobility, energy storage, robotics, and defense applications.

Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, said: "Developing a rich and protected IP portfolio in battery systems is a core aspect of our growth philosophy. We are increasingly being recognized as a go to provider when safety, energy density and bespoke form factors are important to our customers."

The European patent adds to Beam Global's existing intellectual property portfolio. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, with operations in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.
