We are rapidly developing the network of 10,000 publicly accessible chargers by 2025, we are strengthening our leading position in the Greek market, we are undertaking a national role in accelerating sustainable mobility. At the same time, we highlight as equally important the unique experience of users of electric vehicles, the operation of digital applications but also the continuous development and evolution of the services they offer.
We are very pleased to welcome Carge to the PPC Group. Its integration strengthens the presence of DEH blue, strengthens the range and quality of its services, confirms our commitment to the adoption of modern technological tools.
The integration of Carge’s digital platform into PPC blue – a complete, developed and functional customer-centric software – solves an important problem facing electric vehicle users: the ‘range anxiety’, ie the fear of drivers and (prospective) buyers for driving range.
Drivers of electric cars will now be able to locate the charging station, reserve their position and finally charge their vehicle.
Simple, fast and efficient.
PPC blue now charges our travels in the city, but also in 65 areas throughout Greece. By the end of 2022, it will install 1000 charging stations and set up a digital services platform that has the driver of the electric vehicle and the potential user as a point of reference. We are building the electric drive of PPC based on the needs of the driver, with the largest network of public points in the country, exclusively with green energy and with technologically developed services “.

The union of forces with PPC is part of the new era of an organization with a long history. The next day seems to be of interest to all parties involved. We thank those who trusted us and we continue with a common vision to make recharging electric cars a daily way of life.
